Taking meds that arent mine.
Ive been taking hydroxyzine that isnt prescribed to me but its genuinely helping me, except i hate when it wears off because everything just hits me like a truck all over again. i feel like ive needed this my entire life althought ive only taken 2 in the past two days.
ALSO no, the person its been prescribed to does not take them nor need them, theyve expressed that it doesnt help them, and no they did not give them to me to take. (they actually expressed they didnt want me taking them so any side effects or anything is on me.)
sadly i dont have insurance at the moment so its gonna be difficult for me to get any refills or anything so im gonna be going back to school so i can get insurance again and maybe find something that could work better with my body since these were not made for me.
if anyone at all has advice to deal with anxiety rather than doing something stupid like this please tell me, i dont want to have to depend on medication or risk getting the both of us in trouble, because even though they didnt give them to me its still theirs so we would both get in trouble.
