    Hi @ella1992, sorry you haven't had a reply to this yet. How are you getting on with your medication now? Have the side effects settled down at all?

    I was keen on writing a reply but I'm worried that anything to do with medicine – even stating my experiences – would be construed as medical advice

    I've fallen foul of this before even when I explicitly said that I wasn't giving advice. I'm not sure whether there is a computer that scans the posts for keywords, or if a person removed my post and perhaps didn't read it

    If I can get the reassurance I'd like to write my experiences from starting the meds a few months ago – I had a similar situation and it went away and sounds like it might be worth sharing 😊 (…hopefully that's even a little reassurance for the poster😊)

    Hi @66Mustang. You're absolutely fine to talk about your own personal experience of medication 😊 It might get caught in our filter but I'll release it as long as it doesn't break any other rules 😉
