I take 30 or so a day, I have a nerve disorder, but I definitively take more then I need. It started with Kidney Stones, though, which are gone now.

I hate to admit that I split it between 3 different pharmacies.) Also, does it make you feel sick? The Tylenol 1s? I also have Social Anxiety,...

So I need to know about this chemical and get it to the U.S. Oh course, it will be too late for my daughter if it ever gets to the U.S. I don't...
