Good call Jost. I suppose it's too great of a risk to take. I'll eat a bunch of eggs and chicken breasts I guess. Then again, I'm not sure when the unusually large quantity effect takes effect. I need 250 grams of protein per day to continue to build lean muscle mass. It's just a fact that protein is essential to building muscle, and if you are continuously breaking down the muscle you need to help repair it with protein.

I appreciate all the posts. I should mention that protein powder has NEVER been shown to be harmful on the kidneys EXCEPT in patients with pre-existing renal problems already. It's then much more of a burden on the kidneys. This is definitely one myth that needs to be put to rest though.

I don't suppose anyone could answer the cigar question? It's not like smoking a cigarrette. I don't inhale them, but they are aged tobacco (some 18 years or more), and the tobacco has been "triple fermented" in many cases (Cohiba cigars undergo extensive fermentation). I think I'm answering my own question here. This probably isn't a good idea either. Although, I have never seen one contraindication for cigar smoking or smoking in general. This does indeed sound like a scary med. I'm sure it's overblown, but I know that precautions must be taken. This is pretty much the last med I can think of for social anxiety so I'll give it a go and see what happens. If anyone has had social anxiety (severe) and has had success with meds could you post what seemed to work for you?

Again, you guys are great! I really am grateful for the responses. Thanks again. -H. Upmann
