Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any tips for someone who is on medication and needs to take it on Tish B’av/Yom Kippur the 2 major fasts?

Please let me know. Thank you so much.

Hi,

What kinds of tips are you looking for?

I am looking for tips on how to manage the fast without taking the medication.

Got it.

So it really depends on the medication you take.  Most often, I know people generally are given allowances to take their medication on both Tisha B’Av and Yom Kippur, and they speak to their doctors and rabbanim about that.

If both your doctor feels it is healthy to skip medication for a day and your Rav doesn’t give a heter, I would ask the doctor what you can do to make your day as smooth as possible.

Hydrating well and resting as much as needed usually are among the top recommendations.

I am on psycopharmalogical medication which I take on all fasts as a potentially dangerous situation is stricter in halacha than a forbidden case. ( Chamira sacanta meissura)

In any case, just ask your Rov a shaila. If you can’t do that, theres your real problem.

I know I am allowed to take my medication, but I don’t know how I will do it without water
