Comment:
I've been on this for eight days. Today is my last day. Day one was ok (I take it at night), day two at 1am I woke up vomiting. It was like clear water which was weird, so I had brushed it off as a weird effect and decided to try a second day. Day two was ok, felt like I stayed asleep but still had problems getting to sleep. Day three also ok, felt like I stayed asleep but still had p
