Did you take your meds today?

[Eclair]

Yes. First day with an upped dose.

How is the new dose working for you?

Ask me again in a few weeks. I wish it would make a difference in a few days.

Oops. I think tehy change the alcohol uptake but I'm not sure it actually makes a difference in the long run.

Are you supposed to drink while on medication? I always thought you couldn't.

I'm glad it's not just me who fucks up quotes sometimes

The least you could have done was fix it for him when you quoted

Here's a question, if you're on a medication that can be deadly if overdosed, and you get to the point that you absolutely don't believe you would be able to survive a day without the meds, how is this any different than having a Cocaine or Heroin addiction?

The state thinks it's a difference, since those running the state are worthless, psychopathic, self-righteous pieces of shit.

Objectively seen: not at all of course.

Maybe because no one needs cocaine or heroin to live unless they are already addicted to them?

I can't address the scenario you seem to be asking about (of increasing dependency) because my own medication's effects plateaued about 3 years ago, when my dose was raised to its current 120mg a day, and I have not been tempted to abuse it by taking more to see if it would work better at a higher dose. I would not want to skip a day on mine because I suspect I would feel ill effects (as I did one time in the past), but I don't feel as if I couldn't survive a day without it either.

You don't need SSRI's or antipsychotics more than you need cocaine or heroin.

Well big pharma are state sanctioned drug dealers, you should know that.

You aren't necessarily addicted. You just can't survive without the meds. You said it yourself.

Almost anything is deadly if overdosed, even water and salt.

Let's take insulin for example.  If you were diabetic, you could get to the point that you would be unable to survive without it yet it would be deadly if overdosed, but it's vastly different than cocaine or heroin.  I guess the point of medication is that it serves a medical need as opposed to being recreational.

Yes, but it seems the question might be about what is the difference between an illegal drug addiction and a prescriptive drug addiction.

[odeon]

Yes, I did take my meds today.

["couldbecousin"]

I certainly did!
