I started taking 1.25mg/every other day about 2 months back and stopped dosing maybe 2 weeks ago.
I figured I would be very safe since it was such a low dosage but after a little more than a months time on the drug I noticed some things.
1) The mental side effects that people bring up are not an exaggeration...they are completely real...the best example I can think of while I was on this drug was when I was at University and I was sitting in the cafeteria during my 2 hour break. While I was eating...I couldn't remember if my next class started at 1:30 or 2:30...mind you this was not in the beginning of the semester but towards the very end with a little less than a months time left until winter break It was completely ridiculous to me how I could forget something that had become very routine to me up until that point. As many of you know your daily schedule doesnt really need concious thought after a certain point so imagine how I felt? This had never happened to me before. I also clearly lost the ability to put down my thoughts on paper...it took me so much longer than usual to put together a paper that I was happy with. Placebo?...if anything I was worrying about my johnson and never mental fog.
2) Became incredibly tired while I was on it. I would sleep for maybe 9 hours straight and wake up extremely tired like I hadn't slept at all. I could've gone for 12 straight hours if I had time for it
3) I really began to doubt the 1-2% figures because I have a friend whos a doctor and hes told me that those numbers are completely ludicrous in comparison to the patients he gets back complaining about side effects. Think about it, if you give 100 people this drug...you're only going to hear about 1 or 2 people complaing about something wrong?!?! That sounds COMPLETELY bogus to me! Besides how can you COMPLETELY trust a study thats been done by MERCK LABS in New Jersey and NOT by an indepedent study. Trust a study thats been conducted inhouse and by a company thats been riddled with dozens of lawsuits because of issues with another drug? I think not.
