OK, so a number of weeks ago I gave a go with Barlowe's. I've been a lurker for ages and was on the fence about a lot but took the dive anyway. About a week in I was getting really bad anxiety, almost panic like feelings, felt short of breath (able to control by essentially forcing calmness - hard to explain the technique, I'm an RN and good with cognitive behavioral skills), couldn't sleep and felt generally shitty. I quit cold turkey and felt better within 2 days. Unfortunate because it's the most ok I've felt with dysphroic feelings in a long time. I feel more GQ than trans but their are times when the dysphoria feel really shitty (other times I'm totally fine). So is this likely a PM problem or an issue with Barlowe's? Thoughts? Really wish the liquid extract was an option :\
