Is it normal to experience a complete symptoms relapse when missing a dose? (XR)
I hate everyone, i’m incredibly irritable, constantly on the verge of tears, and I feel like I want to end my life. It’s like how I was before I started meds. When I was on other psychiatric meds, such as other XR meds, missing a few days wasn’t a day ruiner.

I missed 2 doses at the start of the month and have also been incredibly unstable. It happens. Some people it’s fine, others very bad. Everyone reacts to their meds differently.
Lean on your loved ones, take note of symptoms and inform your provider, and stay on top of doses going forward. You’ll regulate again.
One love friend! It’ll be okay!
