How long is it likely to be till I stop mainlining chocolate and generally acting like a psychopath? Or does that just continue?

That's true! I'm hoping the symptoms start to ease as I am really struggling at the moment. I am on them for 4 weeks then review.

I have just never felt like this. Between the flushes, moods, itches, tears, rage, pain, brain fog. Its so overwhelming x

I'd say by the end of week 2 I felt noticeably more like myself. I've been on it since January this year and since then I've been able to exercise 5 x per week, sleep better, less aches and pains, improved sex life. Silly things like dry eyes have cleared up. I love it!
