^ horrible advice here. In general you should take agency of your oqn health. Educate yourself and make informed decisions instead of relying on the advice of a doctor who may or may not be confident and may or may not give any kind of a shit about you.

In my case, doctors recommended that I "just keep taking xanax until I feel better" which ended in a 24+ hour blackout. So yeah, dont necessarily just listen to your doctor




No, it is not horrible advice, it is good advice. If you have no confidence in your doctor, choose a better doctor. If you cannot trust any doctor, fair enough; do whatever you like.


Well we will agree to disagree ut far too many times ive seenpeople prescribed contraindicated meds because the doctor wasnt paying attention and the patient wasnt aware enough of their own healthcare to even list the pills they were taking daily.

Certain doctors will keep ramping up your adderall script until your on 200mg a day. No one needs that shit. Its horrible for you. So to just say "listen to your doctor, they know best!" As a general statement is asinine
