I don't think anyone is saying it's a bad idea for you to take it. I simply think we are saying take it only if you need it, not because it could be a fun medication to try. If your pdoc prescribed it for you, then there's obviously a reason for it. So I'd say take it as your pdoc has prescribed. As Ink said, consult with your pdoc about the serious side effects if you don't know what they are so you can look for them if they were to occur. Wish you the best.
