and take into consideration what your concerns are.
With all meds it's a good idea to be patient and give them time to start working.
My daughter has had objections and side effects when new meds are prescribed, but given time they often will begin to work.

My big concern is not knowing the future where this country might be concerning mental health. Will Republicans one day prevail with their YOYO (You're On Your Own) philosophy and SSI and Medicaid will be cut and people who really need psych meds to survive won't be able to get them.
