Default You go Girl!!!

Glad to have you aboard. Most folks try Big Pharma first and look with an open mind only after they become disilusioned. Please keep us informed. A couple of comments- A dose of about five grams (a tablespoon is roughly seven) was about right. The published studies used ten times that. Makes me wonder if the work was real or not. And when you do start, avoid things like Zandopa which claim to be "extracts". If they are extracts then they left something out and they don't know if it was important or not.

Is there anyone else whose first port of call was Mucuna? What effect did it have on your symptoms, and do you have any advice? Also what dosage did you find best? The person I am in touch with uses a very small amount, which seems the best advice.
Warm regards, Ladybird
