Its allright, it carries the risk of priapisms (unwanted erections) in males which happens slightly more than stated although I imagine that varies by person. It also has a metabolite mCPP which isn't good in people prone to psychosis.


Mainly, its something you can habituate to a point where an adult dose starts, e.g. 50, 100, 150.. etc... and then you have to back off and restart.

It was something in favor by psychiatists for sleep aids as it is an antidepressant but I dont know if it is de rigueur now.

Make sure you're in bed about 30 minutes after your take it as it a) takes effect and makes you feel dizzy and/or b) makes you want to eat by that same mechanism.

best of luck
