Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, my mom forbade me from taking any allergy medicine, because she is afraid that I'll turn into a meth addict. I have horrible allergies and can barely see or stop sneezing without them. FML
Today, my doctor lectured me for 20 minutes about 'drug seeking behaviour' when I asked for more anti-anxiety medication. I need it because my shithead 15 year-old son found my pills and took them to get wasted. I need the meds in the first place because he's constantly pulling shit like this. FML
Today, I was curious as to whether or not my mom was off of her medication. When I asked her, she pulled a knife on me. Looks like I got my answer. FML
Today, I woke up with one of the worst migraines I've had in months. My mother (who thinks I'm a hypochondriac) began to scream at me about "making up an illness". When I asked for my meds, she called me an addict, and dumped my $300 prescription down the sink. FML
Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML
Today, after having to move home with my parents because I'm broke and can't seem to find a job, my mom found out I'm on anti-depressants. She and my dad will no longer be helping with money because she doesn't like "drugs". FML
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'll never understand why parents do this to their kids... They need to stop listening to Paranoia News and grow some common sense.

Anti-Anxiety can be more addictive then hard core drugs. It all depends on what dose you are on, how long you are on it and what medication it is. Thats why when you swap meds normally doctors will make you go one day off, one day on and normally takes two weeks to a month to come off them completely. Never go cold turkey. As well as avoid a antianxiety-depression med by the name Effxor, its got one of the worst rated withdrawl symptons of almost any anti-anxiety medication. Shakes, headaches, trembling, cold sweats, throwing up. Just make sure if you do continue to take them, make sure you never go without and if swapping dose or medication to do it by Doctor supervision. ❤❤

Call your doctor to discuss your options. The authorities may end up getting involved, because this is medical abuse. This is a conversation you need to have with your doctor, though, because they have the best shot at unraveling this.
