@AnxiousMe Hi AnxiousMe it is definitely worth it. Hang in there and go by what the docs say as meds can take quite awhile to kick in but when the do you will feel alot better trust the pea 🙂 xxx

@AnxiousMe Yeah I know what you mean. Being medicated is the pits but for me at least it is better than the alternative and it has taken a long time for meds to settle properly in my system. They have now so I am sure they will for you too. Wishing you a great Chrissy 🙂
