I am totally on board with everything that InvisibleShadow just said so I wont repeat everything….Just suffice to say that you should definitely talk to your doctor about a few more strips a month. It’s not like you are asking for thrity. He should be totally ok with that. My doctor added a half a pill a day. So that was 15 more a month.
I totally understand the dosing for stress, like I said earlier. The fact that you recognize it in yourself, and are trying to beat it, is great! You will get there. It’s kind of like retraining your brain in a way. It’s hard at first because you have to consciously not take it. But you wil be surprised at just how fast your thinking changes, after doing this day in and day out. It only took about 3 weeks for this to go away for me.
I also think it’s great that until you do get past this, that your wife is holding your meds for you. That’s great that you have that kind of support. Just stay open with her as to this whole pill=reward thinking and she can help you….I live alone, so I had to just NOT take them. And that was HARD! But you can do it! I know you can! Keep on posting here too….I have found that it helps tremendously. I almost always get a couple of responses from other members who are oign through or have been throught the same thing. And in some small way, just knowing that, makes it a hundred times easier. That’s what this forum is here for.
Keep up the good work, and let us know if there is anything else we can help you with! Have a great day!
