Only your GP can decide whether it would be beneficial for you to go onto medication for your mental health.

If your GP feels this is appropriate, make sure you ask any questions you may have about side effects and interactions with other substances such as alcohol or other prescribed medication.

Make sure you follow the instructions laid out to you by the GP and your prescription and if you have any doubts, ask your GP.

If you experience any side effects, note them down and make an appointment with your GP so they can review your medication.
