Experience

I wish I did research beforehand. It was almost a rushed decision and the clinic used it as a quick fix. It was convenient as I didn’t have to remember to take it frequently. However, there were so many negative effects it definately wasn’t worth it. In addition to this it took my body around 2 years to recover completely and if used for a long period of time it can contribute to osteoporosis.
