> As far as side effects.... It's mildly stimulating for me, not sedating, it gives me "the itchies," also causes dry mouth and constipation. No high.
>No nausea or itching for me, but it's somewhat sedating in a special way when I take higher doses - even though I always take stimulants too.
> With respect to pain, it works quite well (for ordinary day-to-day pain, like cramps, etc.), with no tolerance (and I've been on it for years).
>I haven't noticed a clear analgesic effect - perhaps a little, though.
