This is a notation in the FAQ section of this board. The post was written 3 years ago. Since that time, the availability to self-treat has expanded. I think this notation, as well as others found in the FAQ under "What medication should I take", is good information that I think this board needs to be reminded of:
"No one here knows my medical history, so it would be pretty presumptuous of them to suggest a medication for me. In the same light, I would not be very smart to take anything anyone here says as gospel. The point I think that some people are missing, though, is that a lot of people come to this board in a very difficult place emotionally. There may be times when you find yourself making decisions that you wouldn't make under "normal" circumstances. Out of respect for those situations, Babblers really should qualify the information that they offer as simply their experience, understanding, or opinion because that really is all that it is. And always suggest involving a doctor.
