I know that I can’t say what medication it is. But I’ve been getting a depot over the last few months. It hasn’t been effective at all. Very stressful time for me and my family.
About an hour ago a sudden calm has come across me. Like a huge weight has been lifted and I feel clearer.
Is this how a medication can work? I’m trying not to analyse it too closely.
thanks

Hi there.
It's hard to say definitively if the medication has caused this feeling, since you can't name it...
But, hey...sounds like you're feeling good. Embrace it.
