It’s been awhile but from what I remember I must have made it more than a month but less than three months. Side effects were I felt bloated, pissed off, sweaty, regularly thought I needed to piss but then didn’t/couldn’t, had terrible insomnia and nightmares, nausea, erectile dysfunction, and generally felt like I was being poisoned. Of all the drugs my shrink had me try it was the absolute worst.

It works great for some but for me it’s one of the worst drugs I’ve ever tried. I made it a few weeks before I gave up on it. The side effects were terrible, I felt like shit until it cleared my system. I didn’t notice any benefits from it.

From what I recall it’s related to dopamine in a certain part of the brain, those drugs are all dopaminergic.

It can be a bad idea. Telling friends and family you may find people thinking you can get them stimulants, which gets obnoxious fast and can lead to shitty situations and damaged relationships. I would never tell my work unless it was absolutely necessary for some reason. Unfortunately it’s got a stigma and stereotype that can be detrimental to your career if managers start associating that with you. I think unless you require accommodation from HR and are prepared to go down that route, there’s no good reason to bring it up with an employer.

I had all that and more, it was the worst experience with a drug I’ve had. I think some people respond to it well but I was miserable on it and had to stop after a few weeks because it just kept making me feel worse and worse. I was fine again within a few weeks of stopping at least.

He’s a far right nutjob, yes.

That seemed like it worked for me but then it happened again eventually.
