What to do with old pills?

What do you think about a 15 year old talking 8 pills a day?

  • I have epilepsy and I have to take 8 pills a day to control it. I tell my parents that this isn't normal and I want brain surgery so I won't have to take so much medicine for the rest of my life. I will have to be on medicine for the rest of my life. Am I being dramatic? I hate taking so many pills a day. They also have side affects such as moodiness and fatigue that I hate. I just want to make clear that the 8 pills I take are prescribed by my neurologist! I'm not over dosing, I'm following orders. I take all 8 at night before I go to bed.

  • Answer:

    maybe if you dont like taking so many pills, you should talk to your neurologist? its really up to you to decide what you want.

You could always get a second opinion. Another doctor may have a better suggestion. Otherwise you are going to have to wait until you are an adult with your own health insurance to make your own decisions.

I'd personally prefer it to brain surgery.

I'm glad that there is medicine now to control this disease. Pills really aren't any big deal but if you're really tired you might tell your doctor and see if there is anything they can do. You're not being dramatic. Any of us who have to take medicine never want to. Try to think that his medicine is helping you and keeping you safe and well. I would wait until you're older to look into the surgery. Your condition could change, there could be newer, better medicines and the surgery will surely improve over the next few years. Take care and be well friend.
