Should I stop all medications ?

I am currently taking narcotics that are prescribed to me by my doctor for adhd and anxiety. Should I stop any and all narcotics  immediately ? I know I have to ask my doctor but if I can't see a doctor at this moment maybe there is someone that also has been or knows someone in this situation !

It is never a good idea to stop pre-existing medication! Continue your dosage until you speak with your doctor. I know quitting some medication(but not all) meds can cause miscarriage, especially if you have been on them for any length of time. If you can not get in to see an obgyn soon, make a point of seeing your prescribing doctor as soon as possible to discuss any concerns. Hope this helps!

Try calling a free nurse hotlines or something if you don't have access to a Dr. This is a question that the wrong awnser could have serious consequences.
