Yes. Big class actions in the USA which is why big pharma put notices on all the meds. You can not sue now as they've covered their liability.However- in the UK you can still sue your doctor for negligence for failure to warn of the very high risk.

Absolutely. I augmented on DA’s and at that time was spending hours at night shopping online then emptying the cart, night after night. All of that stopped when I quit DA’s but it wasn’t easy. Great advice on this forum. Best of luck.
