To be fair, there are more factors in medication relapse for things like schizophrenia, bipolar, etc, than for even ADHD meds or blood pressure pills. Apparently the side effects can be awful even when they’re working.
Life happens fast. You can be 31 and relatively healthy, then 33 and staring down $1000/month meds with the promise of rapid degeneration if you don’t take them, oh and please book a day off work to make all the phone calls and deal with the paperwork to even apply for pharmacare, because your work plan refuses to touch that amount if you haven’t applied for Fair Pharmacare first….
