Why are my posts not going through

I tried to reply to you @Blue-Memories but for some reason it didn't get through

I'm sure I didn't mention specific medications

But I recommend speaking to a trusted medical professional

And following @TunedIn 's advice

Be well

@Taali

@TunedIn I certainly did not expect it to be okay to discuss "Plant medicine" (Your emoji) on a forum where specific medications cannot be named

I'm a little floored, particuularly coming from a moderator

Hi @DogMan79,

I'm responding as the moderator currently on shift.

I want to clarify the moderator @TunedIn did not use the emoji to refer to any specific medications, but in the context of the discussion and the members question. The post included the relevant Community Guidelines -Limit Detailed Descriptions-avoid medication names and dosages. I hope this helps to clarify and please reach out if you have any further concerns.

My bad! Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for providing this clarification @wonderingalice1! And yes this emoji was definitely not a reference to plant medicine or medications of any sort, but rather my attempt to make the message visually interesting✨! @Blue-Memories you didn't cause any trouble and I hope you keep reaching out for support🪷.

hi @Blue-Memories how are you?

I have used antipsychotics for sleep and found them helpful, but after a while they stopped working, which was horrible tbh. I needed them to sleep, then just couldn't sleep. I'm still struggling with insomnia. Do uhave a psychiatrist managing yourm edications?
