I took one dose of 4 pills, 500mg each which kind of concerned me being such a high number. No metal taste as mentioned in other posts and no side effects what so ever. I may be a touch thirstier then normal but nothing crazy. Symptoms have gotten better, not as much discharge and its been 10 hours since taking these pills.

3 days in I got a stiff neck which turned into Peripheral neuropathy down right arm/shoulder. Horrible metal taste in my mouth. Discontinued the medication and one week later I'm about 70% recovery- still have numbness in fingers and soreness in arm.

I felt tingling in my lower forearms while on this medication and still until this day, my forearms tingle every single night. I jave never felt any side effects from any pther medication i have taken. Someone couldn't pay me to take this medication again!!
