Comment:
I feel great every day, and Marplan has none of the tiresome side effects of the medication I was taking before; went from an SSRI to Marplan, and it's like what the SSRI was supposed to be.

The medication works really well and I am so happy it has finally come back on to the market. The diet listed here, however is quite a bit stricter than you need to be.

Just 1 pill under the tongue and the reac
