Question:
birdie752 asked...
I have been ill for over a week. During that time I have not taken any medications. I want to continue not taking them to see what effect it will have on me once I start feeling well. Is this a wise thing to do? I take 450mg of Wellbutrin and 20 mg of Lexapro. I have been seeing a psychologist but not since about a week before I became ill. Do I just take a wait and see attitude? So far I don't feel any side effects of not taking my meds.
