Mucha gente tiene sentimientos complicados sobre los medicamentos<\/a>. Si ahora te sientes mejor, probablemente sea porque la medicaci\u00f3n ha funcionado. Eso es bueno.<\/p>\n

Por otro lado, tal vez la medicaci\u00f3n te provoque efectos secundarios. O tal vez simplemente te sientas raro por ser \u201cdependiente\u201d de la medicaci\u00f3n. En cualquier caso, puede resultar muy tentador dejar de tomar la medicaci\u00f3n. A veces, dejar de tomar la medicaci\u00f3n puede<\/em> ser la decisi\u00f3n correcta, pero es muy importante pensarlo bien y hacerlo de la manera correcta.<\/p>\n

Piensa por qu\u00e9 querr\u00edas dejar de hacerlo.<\/h2>\n

Si est\u00e1s experimentar efectos secundarios desagradables<\/a>, podr\u00eda considerar probar otro medicamento o una dosis diferente.<\/p>\n

Probablemente sea por la medicaci\u00f3n. algo<\/em> para usted. Si deja de tomar el medicamento, dejar\u00e1 de obtener los beneficios. Quiz\u00e1 eso no sea un problema, pero \u00bfha estado ir a terapia<\/a> durante mucho tiempo, o trabajando duro en desarrollar nuevas habilidades para la vida que te ayuden a sobrellevar la situaci\u00f3n<\/a>\u00bfQuiz\u00e1s realmente est\u00e9s mejor ahora que cuando empezaste a tomar la medicaci\u00f3n y quiz\u00e1s te encuentres bien?.<\/p>\n

Pero si la medicaci\u00f3n te est\u00e1 ayudando y los efectos secundarios no son graves, no pasa nada por seguir tom\u00e1ndola. Algunas personas necesitan tomar medicaci\u00f3n durante toda su vida, y eso est\u00e1 perfectamente bien. La vida ya es bastante dif\u00edcil, no hay necesidad de hacerla a\u00fan m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil dejando de tomar tus medicamentos. Si alguien te hace sentir mal por tomar medicamentos, recuerda que tu bienestar es m\u00e1s importante que la opini\u00f3n de otras personas sobre algo que, de todos modos, no es de su incumbencia.<\/p>\n

La decisi\u00f3n de continuar, seguir o dejar de tomar medicamentos es muy personal. Muchas personas controlan su salud mental sin medicamentos. Algunas utilizan medicamentos al principio para iniciar su recuperaci\u00f3n y luego los van reduciendo a medida que empiezan a ver los resultados de la terapia y los cambios en su estilo de vida. Otras prefieren seguir tomando sus medicamentos, porque les hacen la vida m\u00e1s llevadera y eliminan sus s\u00edntomas m\u00e1s graves.<\/p>\n

Comp\u00e1ralo con un problema de salud f\u00edsica. Para algunas personas, los medicamentos son como muletas: se usan hasta que se tiene la fuerza suficiente para caminar por s\u00ed mismo. Para otras personas, los medicamentos pueden ser como una silla de ruedas: se usan durante mucho tiempo o durante el resto de la vida.<\/p>\n

Cambiar la medicaci\u00f3n de forma segura<\/h2>\n

Puede ser peligroso dejar de tomar medicamentos de forma repentina. Siempre debe hablar con su m\u00e9dico sobre cualquier cambio en la medicaci\u00f3n, ya sea cambiar la dosis o dejar de tomarla por completo. Sin embargo, su m\u00e9dico debe tener una mente abierta con respecto a su medicaci\u00f3n. Si no est\u00e1 dispuesto a escuchar su versi\u00f3n de la historia, considerar buscar otro proveedor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Si decides dejar de tomar la medicaci\u00f3n, reduce la dosis gradualmente, por ejemplo, partiendo la pastilla por la mitad o tom\u00e1ndola cada dos d\u00edas en lugar de todos los d\u00edas. Experimentar\u00e1s efectos de abstinencia menos graves. Tendr\u00e1s m\u00e1s tiempo para adaptarte a la nueva dosis. Y si las cosas empiezan a empeorar, podr\u00e1s detectarlo a tiempo y volver a tomar la medicaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Aseg\u00farate de siga utilizando sus otras habilidades de afrontamiento<\/a>, como la terapia, escribir un diario, dormir lo suficiente y mantenerse en contacto con su sistema de apoyo.<\/p>\n

Al final, no hay una respuesta correcta para todas las personas. Tu recuperaci\u00f3n consiste en hacer lo que te funciona y contar con las herramientas necesarias para vivir tu vida de la mejor manera posible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
