Hi ToWired,

 

You seem concerned that your friend is taking too much medication.  I'm wondering where this worry comes from, especially since you mention that it is working.

 

I am wondering if you yourself have had a negative experience with medication?  Do you hold a particular belief about meds. (that one shouldn't take them), or are you seeing something in your friend that has you concerned?

 

If it were indeed true that your friend is taking too much medication (and I'm NOT saying that), what would you do with this information?  Is your friend concerned or content with what he's taking?

 

If you write back, I or one of the other experts will address your answers to these questions.

 

Regards,

 

Jennifer L. Fee, Psy.D.
