This was posted at the end of the information on the supplement barbcat is taking:
Caution: Not intended for use by persons under the age of 18. Mucuna Pruriens is not intended for long-term use. Do not take more than 2 months continiously. The long term side effects of Mucuna has not been studied. You may take the product on a 2 months on, 2 months off basis. If you are pregnant, nursing a baby, or have a serious medical condition, seek the advice of a health professional before using this product.
Risk and adverse effects: Researchers have found that taking over 1g of L Dopa a day can cause undesirable side effects such as nausea and vomiting, uncontrollable motions , loss of blood pressure, mental disturbance, and increased cardiac risk. It is highly suggested that you follow the recomended dosage by not exceeding 2 capsules a day, and not take it longer than a 2 months period . If you are currently on medication, please consult your physician before taking any supplement.
Right now, I can't take medications because of what remeron did to my stomach, so anything that could cause vomitting or nausea I probably can't take.
