Sorry for the triple post...
But WOW I am NOT impressed. I used to do a quarter pill a day and actually feel something, and now I feel nothing but normal after putting an entire strip in my nose (half in each nostril - didn't realize they'd be so tiny). Maybe I'll try the water and syringe (in the nose) method and let you guys know how it is.
I predict I'll be telling my doctor that the strips are giving me terrible headaches.
OK I'll actually edit intstead of triple posting. I do feel something about an hour later from putting the film in my nose. I feel good - maybe the same as I did if I put a half of a pill in my nose. Important points are that the film took longer to kick in and didn't burn my nose at all like the pills. I will say that the film is much more convienent. I can imagine putting a quarter-strip in my nose in a pseudo-emergency situation, like in the bathroom after a long class and before a big speech. With the pills, I had to put a little in my nose and then lay on the couch for 30 minutes before I went out, because of the drip. Also, the strips are much cheaper with my insurance company. They were free this time with the discount card, and will be $35 a month whenever that card runs out (the card says up to $75 off).
***One more VERY IMPORTANT thing!!!***
Be EXTREMELY careful if you lend your friends a strip in the wrapper! If they get arrested with one, they can trace the strip back to YOU! That is what my pharmacist buddy tells me. You have been warned!
