"I'm finally prescribed a drug that settled my nerves"

What was it?

I've spilled out too much personal information on this site. I'm afraid I could be fired if my company found out I was on this drug. I think some of my coworkers are on this site. I can guarantee the drug is no cureall. Some people are having a hell of a time getting off it. I was prescribed the drug for a condition other than alcoholism. I'm still not convinced if it was the worst mistake of my life, or it really helped my condition? If you are really in agony, I will leave my email in my profile at between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., seven days from now. Sometimes, I forget I'm on such a public forum. I'm probally being overly paranoid?

Do not put your email address in your profile if you want to remain anonymous from your employer! If you have already shared other stuff that would identify you, it would be best to drop this now. Otherwise, get an anonymous email address to use here. Use Tor browser, and get an account with https://vfemail.net/ or https://www.safe-mail.net/.

I'm not sure how this actually helps keep your anonymity. I would suggest setting up a temporary email address (there are many services for this purpose - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=temporary+email)

As far as I know you cannot be fired for choosing to treat a condition. That would be discrimination. Chances are your coworkers would not care. Some of your coworkers probably do some illegal drugs, or maybe the same prescribed medication you do. I know I had coworkers who smoked weed, and would talk about it, and I do not live in a state where that is legal. Nobody cared SHRUGS
