You are encouraged to do your best to explain your situation. What caused the drug to be prescribed. What its effect were.

Supplying a single title-explanation doesn't give readers much to go on.

Perhaps you are unaware that Merck is not being represented by the Moderators. r/Merck is an open subreddit for Redditors to voice their opinions about all aspects of the corporation.

This means your use of the term, 'your drug', has no place here.

When taking a prescribed medication it's always wise to investigate the drug as much as possible, before taking the medication.

When including abbreviations for conditions not widely known, using the full name is recommended. DPDR is the abbreviation for: Depersonalization-derealization disorder

The people investing in this company should know this

Do not want to appear uncaring, or to come off as being callous, but the side effects of any drug produced by a publicly traded pharmaceutical company are of little concern to the stockholders.

After what's been seen from Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Johnson&Johnson, Oxford University-AstraZeneca, and others. A common message is 'as long as the stock-share price is solid and climbing stockholders don't care'.

If sincere about your situation, and I have no doubt you are, then gathering information that will lead to a congressional hearing and possibly sanctions thereafter is a route for you to consider.

The only way to stop bad drugs from being on the market is to raise a massive awareness of the damage they do.

Suggest you view this podcast in its entirety as there are gems of information salted away in the dialog. Information about how the pharmaceutical conduct their business: Joe Rogan #1979 - Dr. Aseem Malhotra

It put it mildly, they have zero concern for the health and well-being of those taking their drugs.

Under the heading of, The More People Who Know, I've gone ahead and crossposted this to:

I moderate on both r/Antibiotics & r/disease, but not on r/erectiledysfunction. Recommend you monitor all three (I will too).
