@vcarolinek

Hey there! I have edited your forum post for mentioning the specific name of a medication. I can understand that you might be trying to compare medication because maybe you are taking this one and you think that 7cups would be the platform, however, our rules don't allow for specific names to be shared, but you can discuss how the meds make you feel and such. But if you are wondering about a med because you are considering taking it, no one on 7cups is qualified to give you such an opinion and you would be better suited asking a doctor for this information. Good luck either way

@vcarolinek Hi! I thank you for reaching out and trying to get a more informed opinion about medication. As Ember mentioned, we're not qualified to give you advice about any kind of medication. Everyone is different and thus everyone's brain works a little differently. The best thing to do is check with your doctor or psychiatrist. They have been trained in this type of stuff and will be able to work with you to navigate the process. I'm so proud of you for reaching out to us and sharing what I assume is a very small part of your story. It's very brave. Listeners are always avaliable if you need someone to talk to and support! Thank you again.
