YMMV I was prescribed it 10y or so ago and it caused bad migraines for me. I would take it on my way to work and by the time I sat at my desk I had to leave because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to drive they were so bad. I’d get home wrap a blanket around my head and pass out for a couple hours. Took me two weeks to realize it was the problem. I had never had migraines before then, and now I get them, albeit pretty infrequently.
That being said- when your body doesn’t make the chemicals you need to be stable it’s 100% okay to use store bought. Sometimes that means you take a medication for life I’ve got a few of those now and I’m much better for it. Give it a shot if it doesn’t work there are other options out there! Hope it works for you!
Printers use ink, cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). This is subtractive colors which means all colors mixed in equal parts is black. Monitors however mix colors using light which is additive, Red Green and Blue (RGB) the presence of each of these colors results in white. So when you’re looking on your monitor it’s very likely you’re looking at an image generated in this manner. But your printer is thinking in CMYK leading to the discrepancy. You can compensate for this sometimes by changing the color profile to CMYK on some monitors- or more likely (since it’s an old monitor) in the settings of the image editing software. You may also want to consider a better printer depending on how old it is. I’d suggest looking into the settings and try printing some test pages https://www.internet-ink.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Colour-Test-Page-scaled-1.pdf see if any of the colors look particularly skewed.
