Does Anyone Else Experience An Inability To Process Pharmaceutical Medicines?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Saint Louis, MO

I've been like that my whole life, it's like my body just automatically wants to reject anything that's not an antibiotic or vaccine. A lot of the meds the doctors tried putting me on (when I was officially diagnosed with fibro and depression / anxiety) tried to convince me to "off" myself. I have a good handle on my brain-self, so I knew that wasn't "me" thinking those thoughts, if that makes any sense. I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

A MyFibroTeam Member

Yes, I was told to start antidepressants at 1/4of a dose to prevent side effects….

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kent in England

I am using it to help me sleep, it does not work on its own but supports cognitive shuffling. The latter works brilliantly it’s on Google. 5HTP is a supplement with many uses. There are cautionary tales about it, as well as great recommendations. I would advice doing some research before starting it. Take care.
