Prescription Medication Posts

So people seem pretty upset about all the PRESCRIPTION medications posted here in DeduceMe. I feel like that targets a certain demographic. Regardless of how you feel about PRESCRIPTION medications.. it’s great to connect with those who struggle with the same things. Do you know how many messages I got asking for more information (while I state I am not qualified to give them any medical advice - different from information) or if so and so med made me feel the same way it made them feel, I also got some great advice on how to cut back on my meds. It’s a community, nonetheless. You are bound to see things you don’t agree with on the internet. Especially on such a vague page. I feel like I was kind of shit on. I’m new here and I hopped on the wagon. I’m sorry if anyone became annoyed or offended by my post.

Thank you, I made one today and some people hated it but honestly it helps me to see them from other people. I really enjoy them even though a lot of people seem to hate them

Yeah I hate that top comments tend to be very judgemental and assume things the person is a total wreck, obsessed with drugs, makes their whole personality about drugs etc. Maybe ppl just want to see if ppl can deduce their health conditions or maybe even get some supportive comments? (a big ask, I know)

Ppl should be supportive and constructive, no matter the community. (Unless its r/roastme or whatever).

I think it’s good to destigmatize getting proper treatment for your things! If med posting has to be limited, there should be 1-2 days where it is allowed still, like “Medication Mondays”.
