Thank you so much for your real-world insight into this drug, John. I too have suffered long-term (20+ years), albeit intermittently with one severe bout in my early twenties. My sincerest hope is with you in slaying the dragon. Consider that there is light at even the longest of tunnels, otherwise everyone would be living in them with us. Peace.
