Yes you’re right about listing every side effect. I, too have worked in the medical field for a long time. This medication mentions depression, fatigue, hallucinations and several other things that I’m susseptical to. I babysit my grandson during the week so I’m very Leary of trying this. I will try it on the upcoming 3 day weekend and see how it goes. Thanks for caring 🤗
Hello @becsbuddy
I so appreciate your comment to @kdo0827. You are right about the side effects listed for each med, they certainly do not apply to everyone and sometimes very infrequently. Trying a med that a doctor prescribes is always a good idea, especially if you have had long standing problems and diagnoses that require medications.
I realize that sometimes when a person has anxiety, that anxiety carries over to include medical treatment, including the taking of meds. It takes a lot of courage for an anxious person to embrace new meds or medical treatments, but it usually is a good thing once you get started.
Thanks for your encouraging words as well as thoughtful comments. As a nurse, you speak from both personal experience as well as medical knowledge!
