just realized i hadn't put in that i haven't taken it in over 6 months. Dr. prescribed it while i was going thru a divorce. i was stressed to the max and he said "this will take the edge off" i have never been depressed maybe a slight bit of anxiety from time to time. i was more curious of them finding it in my medical records and having an issue with the fact that i used to take it even though i stopped taking it more then 6 months ago.
and thank God i never had any of the side effects!!!!Victor_V Thanks this. -
Some of these anti-depressants, like Prozac, are almost impossible to get clear of once taken for a while.
And over time, more is often needed to get the same relief!!
Yeah, I wouldn't mention it if I were you.
Repeat after me: "I haven't had or taken any prescription drugs for over six months and am not taking any drugs, prescription drugs or otherwise now."
Repeat and stick to it.ryanro77 Thanks this. -
If your worried just remember what an examiner told me regarding meds,
" they don't know what you don't tell them "
use Your own judgementryanro77 Thanks this.
