I do this every damn time. Instead of refilling my meds in advance, I let it run dry and go bare for a few days before I finally go out again and finally pick some more up as I'm stressed, agitated, and a little depressed. Its all the more frustrating that this pill starvation affects me so much. Its in my genes I guess, my brother is having trouble with it too.
Last night I had a dream where it just felt like complete misery, nothing really happened in it. It was like every ounce of joy was sucked dry from me and I woke up completely drained and feeling like someone I knew died. I've talked with Megan about all this and I learned today it stresses her the fuck out. Ah well, this is just a rant post, I used to be in a much worse state than this. I always think back to how much shit I went through to get back to where I am now and its a little easier to cope.

Seriously man, just get the stuff before you run out. Even if you aren't on something that's really mood-altering or that effects your emotional climate, it can be hard if you're used to it and end up off it for a while. Anything that's in your system regularly like that can be a real bitch, and that's a roller coaster you don't want to be on, for sure.

Hang in there, man. It's good to vent on here but it's even better to talk to the people close to you to get good advise & reassurance. Talk to some people close to you other than Megan if you feel comfortable. Also I think it's important not to view the drugs as a crutch - there are other factors involved, after all.
You're strong enough as it is - there's no need to stress.
