It became clearer why many countries took the ingredient off the market, and why Brazil makes it a prescription drug (again--Brazilian rules). The path to overuse, abuse and overdose is obviously easy if it can be obtained everywhere.

Still, we use it only when we feel it necessary, and not as the nighttime equivalent of a vitamin C tablet, and I don't take any addictive drugs, including alcohol. I think we'll be OK.
