Should I trust hers?

Lately I've been seeing an ad on this site for hers/forhers, which offers medicine for depression. I'd like to know if anyone on this site is using hers and their experience. Should I trust them and/ or do their meds work? Also if anyone could share their experience that would be nice too.

I do not trust any ads. I would run any questions about medication by your doctor.

SandwichEater128, please consult your doctor with symptoms before self diagnosis.

Thank you Annieheart for sharing your ad vice on here to SandwichEater. I too agree with you Annieheart, SandwichEater128 shouldn’t trust any ad but instead should run concerns, questions and interest to his doctor.

You can some reserch yourself. Get the med names and look up on the computer. All meds should have some side effects. The med I am taking is making me gain weight. That affects my health and my look. So this is important.

Medication for depression and other mental health related problems are prescribed based on symptoms and other factors. Its dangerous to self medicate yourself with a medication you saw in an online ad. Only a doctor/ psychiatrist can determine a proper dosage amount and most importantly if you actually need to be medicated or not. Not everyone with depression needs medication. For example, i was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder when i was a teenager. Im in my 40s now and i have never needed medication for it. But someone else with MDD might need it. You can't determine that yourself. Only a doctor/psychiatrist can determine that. Also, a lot of times dosages have to be changed because they may be too strong or too weak or not needed at all. Its best to just see a therapist and discuss this with them. Self diagnosing yourself can lead to serious problems. Always speak with a doctor or therapist if you have questions and or concerns about your mental health.

    My friend invited me out for lunch at this nice, clean sit-in place, where I got to order a salad of my choice with two chicken toppings out of a wall-mounted variety. I don't remember the name of the place. However, it was a nice experience. Thereafter, we headed down to one of my favorite dessert destinations, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in McAllen. It had been a while since we just...
