So my son started this today and I am hoping for the best as always. He was texting me at the beginning. I can see why someone has to be monitored while taking it. It's a nasal spray that he uses himself but the side effects and reactions are what they are watching for. He said he felt like if he closed his eyes he would see things so he tried to focus on his phone even though text looked smaller than normal. He said if he looked out the window he felt like he was falling out the window. He said he felt like his body felt like it was folding in on itself, he compared it to kneading dough and folding it inward. He said that these things didn't last long. He came home and we watched some video game reviews. He fell asleep and we go back in a couple of days. We'll see what happens. I really hope this works. He said he knows that people take it for fun (club drug, it's a schedule 1 drug) but he doesn't get that because he didn't find it fun. Of course he was not a person that ever experimented with drugs and doesn't have that outlook. Here's hoping for a breakthrough.
