Again welcome and ask anything we can help with. It's a lot to deal with when it's new.
Thank you for the information! It took me 4 days to work up the courage to take my first dose, I actually gave myself a panic attack when I took it which was no fun but expected as I had been working myself into a tizzy for a few days before I dosed. I am a few days in now and I have only noticed I start to feel a bit flushed two hours in, if there are other side effects I don't know at this point as I take it before bed.

Thank you for your comment
