Just to be clear, I was referring specifically about taking medication advice. Yes, no one is actually prescribing, but it's not at all uncommon for long-term psych patients to have a stockpile of medications on hand, remnants of previous failed trials. So, there is a possibility, even likelihood that somebody might actually try one of these posted suggestions, without consulting elsewhere, which I think can be pretty hazardous.

The missing caveat is "This advice is being given by a layperson who has no training or clinical experience in regard to the administration of prescription medications".

I'm all for self-empowerment about our health, and I agree that the internet can provide a wealth of information. However, it can also be, and often is, an excellent source of utter nonsense disguised as useful advice.
