Everyone is free to share their experience - in a responsible way...but it's worth noting what SR rules and policies recommend.
10. Medical Advice: No Posts giving medical advice, medication advice, or psychiatric advice. Do not use the forum to give or ask for professional medical or psychiatric advice. If you are a medical professional, please remember the forums and chat are for peer support only and not to be used for distributing professional medical advice and/or using the forum to represent your professional services. Medical and Psychiatric advice includes giving a diagnosis, treatment plan, medication advice and dosage suggestions, over the counter and natural home remedies that should be approved by medical professionals. Detox can be dangerous and life threatening at times. Please consult with your physician.
My experience is I did not seek medical support and I ended up with a series of mini strokes that changed my life and my health forever.
I would not make that same choice again.
I'm not suggesting everyone will end up like me - but I think the advice to seek professional help wherever possible is the best advice to give.
