Summary
Writing in r/cfs in October 2026, the user described taking something that made them feel terrible for the first ten days, unable to sleep at all, with a jumpy, adrenaline-like feeling. They said it took about three weeks for their body to settle and the jumpy feeling faded slowly. They advised taking it with a bigger meal, which they said helped their stomach and the crash a bit.
