I think information about medications is always helpful. No one should have to limit what they say about a medicine, because it is up to the person to handle triggers themselves and if they're worried about a side effect and get literally scared about it, chances are they don't know the actual facts or statistics about the side effect. The more knowledge the better. But never settle for half truths. They can be scary. We have to know all the facts first before making assumptions about what the meds will do to people. I don't think sheltering people from stories and facts about medication will do any good other than the "ignorance is bliss" foolishness. Knowledge is power.
