Right… some more details on your history with the drug, side effects experienced while on/since quitting, treatment attempts etc would be appreciated. The more details, the more people will be able to provide proper feedback. Cheers.

Seeyou, I finally found the time to read up on your member story and I see that it’s very, well, nonexistent haha. I’m curious as to the extent of your sides, regarding their onset, severity, and every protocol that you have thusfar tried to cure them. I know that you’re currently carrying out autohemotherapy but did you ever get around to depriving yourself of sleep just to try that angle or did you cut the idea altogether? I’m a fan of your willingness to try various promising treatments as it gives me some courage to do likewise.
