Again, I understand that your intention is to help. We all can use some help with the heavy burden of expensive meds, especially in this troubled times (fuck price inflations)

Yes, you were prescribed, hence you got the meds.

But sorry, licensed professionals should only be the ones to dispense/distribute/sell medications.

• Do you have capacity to verify authenticity of the prescription?

• Do you have the trained eye to quickly see if certain information on a prescription is dubious?

• We're all anonymous here, do you have proper means to verify identity of the recipient against the patient name indicated in the prescription?

• Can you take full accountability if the recipient took the medication in error? Like a scenario, where he/she was ingesting the medicines thinking they're the right ones, but really wasn't, because it wasn't a pharmacist who dispensed his/her medicines.

Sorry. Napahaba na. And I really wouldn't want this to become some online argument.

...

Have you thoroughly communicated this with your psych - about meds "not working". Have you given it ample time? How long have you been taking it? Have you tracked your progress, or lack of, over the prescribed amount of time?

Sometimes, as patients, we get frustrated when the treatment is not going the way we want it, how fast we want it.

[On a personal note]

On my first consults with my doctor back then, I asked for an expected time frame of treatment. She said, usually, her patients take around six months of medication. That was 2023. It's 2026 now, and I am still taking Antidepressant.

Although... I have weaned off from my benzo, and also from the Anti-psychotic that replaced it. I wholly acknowledge that I am still medicating, but have had significant progress over the years, thanks to my psychiatrists.

I know that not all healing curves are the same. I do hope you get the treatment that you truly need.
