It shouldnt matter right? I mean they dont work but i need them still. I dont see my psychiatrist for another 2weeks i believe and it just sucks i can see the inside of the bottle getting less and less. With these terrible delusions i dont think its any good for me to not have meds no matter how long that may be i'm scared i dont want to spiral back down.
