I'm not trying to persuade you to take the meds. I wouldn't want you to change your decision.
I'm worried that people may read the websites that I went to, which seem to be dominated by people who've had a bad experience, or by those who are extremely afraid of bad results of which there are very low odds. Often people who've had bad experiences post what's happened; those who get a benefit from the med and are involved in their lives don't. So some of these websites create an environment of fear and avoidance.
Perhaps these experiences are important to know. But they're anecdotal. And they do give what may be a false impression to readers about the value of certain drugs. I just wanted to give another point of view for others.
I"m glad you've made a decision and are confident in how to handle the issue. I'm not in any way trying to get you to change your mind.
