While I appreciate the sentiment you're going for, it should be notes that you have no authority to give medical advice, and OP should not go off his prescriptions based on your comment. What you should have said (and what OP should do) is to have a discussion about that possibility with his or her primary care physician. I don't care what the circumstances are, people should not accept unsolicited medical advice from anonymous users on the internet without fact checking with a doctor. Not all doctors push pills the way you're describing.
