Almost two years, I think. I'll have to see if my doc will prescribe it. The studies I've read referred to drugs which didn't penetrate the blood brain barrier, like CaEDTA and the like. This shouldn't have a problem crossing as far as I can tell (not charged and not polar, so it should be good). The aromatic amine substitution is worrying, as this sub is well known to cause liver damage, but it doesn't seem to be needed long term.
