Just be aware that it's going to have effects on your heart + blood pressure.

Thanks. Screw it then, I'll see if my doc suggests it. I don't wanna be a heartbreaker and shit.

So 90 minutes in and I barely feel like I've come up on this pill.

I mean I feel a little hyped, but it just feels like a strong cup of coffee.

It is a slow release capsule though, so I imagine the intended effect is to feel like this for 12 hours or so.

Giving it some more time since I am blond/fair skinned and it takes significantly longer to absorb medications/chemicals because of that.

It certainly won't get you "high" or buzzed if that's what you're looking for.

edit: I mean, in a prescribed dose I don't doubt it's safe, I'm just saying be careful if your intent is to take more than the intended dose in some attempt to catch a buzz. Cause it won't happen, and then you really will be risking negative effects on your heart + BP.

What the hell? Lol. If anything, it'll take you longer to absorb medication if you're overweight or just had a big meal.

The only reason I'm taking it is to try and get a relief in symptoms, but I'll see if my doc wants to try it.

Oh! I thought you were trying to get high or something, lol.

I know other people who take it for anxiety relief as well.


edit: You should def still talk to your doctor first. Man, I would never take any medication without consulting my doctor first. Fuck that!

There are a few new studies out over the summer that show that people with fairer skin tend to have slower absorption rates and need higher doses of pain killers (the studies applied to just pain killers, but there was evidence that it applied to general uptakes).

I can't be arsed to find the articles at the moment though.

Yeah I was told it was safe, but now people are telling me I could die and shit, so I'm like fuck that!

I'm genuinely interested to know the link between skin colour and how the liver, gut, and kidneys work.
