I'm taking 3 types of medications and I feel like I only need 2/3. I told the doctor that I feel perfectly fine but he still insists that I take the medication for the next 5years. Shits crazy expensive it's like 500 bucks per month with insurance I'm paying close to 100. What should I do? I haven't taken them for the past week cuz I cant afford them but I feel perfectly fine. Doctor still wants me to buy and take them.

Would help if we know the drugs

Fyi doctors r fucking jokes. Here in canada at least.

Considering no info is given about the medication and why you're taking them, I shall take the time to

This is almost entirely what the medication is and what it's being used to treat.

canada has got likely one of the best medical training systems in the world.

e: this is the dumbest thread dude. no info about medication in question/condition in question. given the op i will say you need to trust your doctor knows what hes doing, ask him if theres any alternative therapy that costs less but otherwise stick with it

Get a second opinion. Don't ignore your doctors for the sake of money.

Thanks for posting the list of medications your taking and why you're taking them.

The dose and duration of therapy with drugs usually is determined by scientific experiments. In some diseases, for example, infections, it takes a certain length of time of exposure to a specific dose of an antibiotic or antiviral drug in order to kill the bacteria or virus. If the right dose is not taken for the correct length of time, some of the bacteria or viruses may survive, multiply, and cause the infection to recur. Inadequate treatment also may promote the development of resistance to the drug by the bacterium or virus. Then the antibiotic or antiviral drug may not work at all. Like antibiotics, other types of drugs also may be required at a specific dose and duration to achieve appropriate levels in the body to adequately combat the disease. With some medications this even may require weeks or months of treatment.

eat healthy, get off drugs, dont look back.
