But that is a good thing, considering I was binge drinking as a crutch beforehand. Just really weird, huh?

All I know is that people don't avoid things or say certain things unless they aren't true (well in the health/medical setting unless they're mixing it up with placebo, like I feel a bit tired or I think I have a headache. Obviously this isn't placebo).Maybe it affected the neurons in your head to send/receive neurotransmitters. As I'm not sure it would affect your metabolic system like...
pill >> stomach >> liver pass 1 >> liver pass 2>> through the BBB >> then the neurons do their little neurotransmitter dance and you start to feel well.
Something must be wrong at the neuron level.
I'd really try and see a specialist about this. It's super complicated.
I'd even do some research myself but atm I'm busy enough reading every pubmed article about why I'm shivering 24/7 (when I'm not cold and it's not a Nardil side effect).
