It takes time for them to come up with the right mix...and most of the time it has to be changed because you get used to it. I can still remember some of the cocktails they had me on just to get a response. Keep your chin up: They have a LOT of things out there.
Well, I've taken this drug before, and it's helped, and I know it's been only four weeks since I started. I have even started to notice some good effects sometimes.

Don't worry, I've been through this maze of twisty little passages before, and I know how it works.
