Open original source ↗
I took it for little less than 2 months. I did not like the blunting effect so I came off of it. Its been now 5 months since my last pill and I have never felt like myself again. My whole personality is gone ... I became from someone who was really sensitive and caring, to a numb zombie. ... I experience severe emotional blunting, a blank mind and numbed sensations. My brain feels completely injured and numb. ... cant feel alcohol / cafeïne / emotions in my head.
