re the side-effects like raised prolactin levels, water retension etc when taking high doses over long periods of time, what levels of intake are we talking about here roughly?
On particularly stressful days (this will be once a fortnight) I take between 4 and 8mg over the course of a day (2mg in the morning, then another 2 a few hours later and finally 3 or 4mg over the course of the night - as I usually go out to come down from the stress).
One or two separate days during those fortnights I might take 2 or 3mg, if I'm going out.
Is this likely to lead to problems of that nature and is there any way of reducing the risks (other than not taking it, obviously)?
One or two people I know who sell these and have done for a while seem to be currently having problems with supply, so I'm a bit concerned about that - but as everyone says, they're readily available, so.
I'm seriously determined to cut right down now to just using them when I have to do interviews and stuff, just to help with the overwhelming anxiety. There's plenty of other things I can try to help with anxiety and I might be better off just using these sparingly as an aid rather than a solution in itself...
