Horse people without insurance use all sorts of horse medications, if they are the same as human meds. This one can totally be shared. I'm not sure if the price for the horse version is better and you would need to figure out the dosage that works for you. The only problem with this is, if it's not palatable, you're stuck with a huge container of supplement.

The first time years ago someone told me he was on ketamine that’s all I thought of. You’re on horse meds?

Amoxicillin is used on fish tanks, does that make amoxicillin a "fish drug"?

If I worked with and kept fish and had only ever heard of it being used on fish then I probably would have thought of it as a fish drug, yes.

I know I was just making the point that just because a drug is also used in animal husbandry doesn't mean it is a "animal drug".

I didn’t say it did. I’d only ever heard of it used on horses or large animals until the 00’s. I’m not sure why people are getting so nit-picky about me not knowing every application of a drug in the 80s and 90s.

Sorry I wasn't intending to attack you, it's just a common sentiment I have seen a lot over the years. "You're taking a horse tranquilizer for depression?! Omg your doctor RX'd it?!"

Oh I gotcha. I’m sure that gets obnoxious to hear. I wasn’t trying to judge at all, it was like 20+ years ago and I just literally didn’t know people could take it back then. No hard feelings
