Subscribing to this thread. Social media comparison is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Social media comparison.

To answer PharmacoVig_BOS: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.

Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to DebRD_ATL. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Social media comparison.

Slightly tangential to Social media comparison but sophie_paris reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
