| Some people are really disturbed when you tell them how a story ends. This has never bothered me. Sometimes, it's the spoiler itself that makes me want to read the story or see the movie. How do you feel about spoilers? |

| I have found that large doses of vitamin K makes the anxiety minor and transitory. I take about 500 micro-grams a day. If I miss a day the next day I start to get anxious and meltdowny. The best part is that vitamin K is cheap - $3.25 at the GNC for 100 pills. 100 micrograms a pill, 5 pills a day, 2... |

| Correct. IMO, given that oxitocin only lasts a short while in the system, a trans dermal patch would be the best way to assure a long term flow during the day. If you want to go with administering oxitocin directly rather than stimulating natural production. |

| Can I buy oxytocin, where, how? As far as I know, oxitosin is not for sale, not with out a prescription anyway. It can't be taken orally as stomach acids destroy it, so another method of administration is needed. The other thing is, that it seems to get processed in the body rather quickly. So the ... |

I am constantly getting the "timed out" message. And, what is most annoying, is that from time to time Firefox will "decid... |

| My brother has smoked it for 40 odd years now. He doesn't go out, he lives in a dark apartment all alone and barely goes out. He's extremely paranoid and anxious, and has been in and out of the mental hospitals. Wow... sounds rough... sorry for your bro... Do you know anyone else who smokes it? |
