For the most part it felt really good while infusing. Almost like calming my brain or something. I did have periods of irritability, etc.

I only took it solo and then paired it up with Septra...then the fireworks began.

Immediately. As the med was infusing it was like a nice soothing ice pack was being applied to the areas where I tend to have alot of burning sensations in my head. I have been treating with orals on and off for 6 years. Just started IV a month ago. I am encourage that I can feel it in my head while infusing.

The issues I have not been able to resolve mostly revolve around nuero/cognitive stuff so in my mind I am on the right track to finally addressing those things
