Main point is: why not let a large number of people who heard about a condition from their own qualified doctors help you at least scribble down some questions to ask your own medical folks at your next appointment? (But please avoid those crystal suppositories.)

Because:

1. You have no way of verifying their anecdotes ever happened, that they were prescribed and on the medication
2. no way of knowing other circumstances that affect medications, like drug interactions, or other unfortunate habits they might have had
3. they have no knowledge of your underlying medical situation
4. your doctor has 2 and 3, and should have access to studies in lieu of 1.
5. Internet Randos are inherently untrustworthy.
6. your doctor doesn’t get paid if you die.
