8. I think it's a problem taking it with psychotropic medications

When they prescribed the Ativan, Oak Street made me sign some form promising I wouldn't and they dangled the threat of a drug test. Another example of Oak Street 'WTF???' They handed me the form at the end of my appointment, along with other paperwork. When I brought it back at my next appointment they got mad because, apparently, I was supposed to complete it with their 'help', or something. They why the hell hand it to me when I'm headed out the door!?!??!?

I got none of that from my mental health team. Once I get settled in I might try some. I have enjoyed gummies and oils.
