Anyone ever skip their prescriptions just to see what happens?
I recently skipped two whole days of my pills, only to realize I best never do it again. When you're dependent on them, though, you forget what it's like not to have them.

Heart palpitations, acid stomach, rapid heart beat, dizziness and complete lack of concentration. Not to mention the pain and the insomnia.

What side effects do you get when you skip your meds?

2. Well if I skip my meds I get psychotic
So I never skip my meds.

Psychosis is my natural state of mind. The meds make me normal.

8. I'm diabetic....
I skip my meds, I wind up in the hospital. I skip them for too long, I die. So obviously, it's not something I do :)
