Hi my husband tried this and at the start was wonderful but unfortunately it caused him hypotension and kept passing out.

unfortunately But as you will find out we all are very different and respond differently to medications so hopfully will work with you. Good luck

I was found to need to many jabs a day so had to go on a continious infusion pump, butI have to say I was only offered this as a last resort I have since went on and had dbs
