If things don't feel right, they're probably not right. I guess I do need [medication] for my life, for the benefit of living, for the benefit of staying well.
Ever wondered how holidays and medication changes can impact mental health? Mr. Joe takes us through his Thanksgiving experience, where he surprisingly found joy despite being surrounded by strangers. But the heart of this episode lies in his struggle with medication adjustments. With his trademark honesty, Mr. Joe shares his fears about trying new medications, recounting a recent doctor's visit that left him with more questions than answers.
Diagnosed with issues like mucus buildup and a deviated septum, he tries to connect these to his medication side effects. His candidness about past experiences with treatments like Suboxone and the harsh withdrawals he faced is both eye-opening and relatable. He also touches on his concerns about Wellbutrin, a medication that didn't sit well with him in the past. Mr. Joe emphasizes the importance of a strong patient-doctor relationship and listening to one's body when things feel off.
He encourages listeners to seek medical advice if something doesn't feel right. This episode is a raw and genuine look at the complexities of managing mental health, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with similar challenges.
