Hi - is anyone taking this? I was about to order it online, and in the UK it says only to use it for up to 5 days for the treatment of jetlag. It got me a bit worried about its safety. I'd be glad of any insights and also which one you bought.

Thanks!

My consultant prescribed 3mg once a day for the two weeks of stims. I think something about antioxidants properties was mentioned or I read it somewhere I can’t be sure. But then at the nurse consultation she mentioned how steroids (also taken during stims) can cause insomnia so maybe that is the reason. Sorry not very helpful but I don’t know of anyone who has just taken it long term.

Hi - in Canada you can get over them over the counter. I’ve been using them through the month when I’ve been on IVF cycles (5MG) and never struggled to fall asleep without. x
