No. I've always heard about the effects and in my old job, I couldn't risk those side effects.

At the moment, I'm surviving on melatonin and evergy drinks. Had some tough nights, but am pulling through ok. Need to get my o2 sorted, but having to deal with insurance companies for the first time... Eeek!

Insurance co's Shit !! cant help you out there but maybe Phil can, i hope you get it sorted though o2 is the must lol, Energy drinks are still big in my book and help a fair bit, topa just seem to make me so stupid, but cant say they are really working all that well, but im still ramping up 25mg a week but the more i do the dumber i get! wont remember my name in a few more weeks !!

hang in there Em let me know how you get on with the o2

Ike , I tried 2 runs of 6 months on it . No positve results for me , only negative side effects . Mainly shortterm memory and disorientation . Doppymax for me . I would have dealt/ accepted those side effects if there was a positive pay off . Everybody is different  . You have to rule it in or rule it out as a helpful med . Good luck .......... phil h
