yes and have and am.
line in the sand no matter what the meds, whether they are for physical or mental or recreational they all come listed with a whole host of mental and physical side effects...
open any PDR (physicians desk reference) which is a book here in the USA that lists all the approved prescription drugs, each medication has a few pages that lists the medication name, any generic or other names its known by, what its for , the basic dosages (this is just a guideline not what everyone who is prescribed gets, each situation is different on how much of what is prescribed as a case by case situation) the PDR also lists under each medication possible side effects (both mental and physical side effects and every medication has them) the PDR also lists things to be aware of / special considerations with using/ prescribing that medication.
no matter the meds they will come with both mental and physical health side effects. so yea I have and do take them regardless. I base things on if it works it works and we will deal with side effects as they come up.
