People need some common sense, I find that reading other people's expieriences makes me feel less scared alot of the time, thus more likely to actually try something that could really really help me.
People need to not be idiots.
You've completely contradicted yourself here. People on RYL should be taken as gospel but not any other website out there? The only way for people not to be idiots is to listen to their medical professional, and if they want to, get a second opinion on medication.
Getting support for medication issues I'm totally fine with, but just asking for experiences or side effect or anything else can be found elsewhere on web, on the patient information leaflets, and ultimately they have to take the medication before they know what effects they may get, if any.
