@silverhuang@kind.social I'm no doctor, but A) could be explained if this drug also has effects on Fibromyalgia. Drugs do multiple things, and it may be a completely reasonable treatment. There was no need to mention it's also used for treating depression, because that's not what they are treating you for.

However, I am a big believer that medicine is given with *informed* consent. If you feel you were not informed about potential side effects it's reasonable to be upset. It seems to me that the cliché of "Take two of these a day, and see me in six weeks" is a cliché for a reason. The system doesn't allow the time for those conversations to routinely take place.
