Although I have heard thats its great and helps alote, as for myself nothing. However I am thinking of tring a new brand or somthing, any sugestions? And I have seen some of my friends become very dependent on it, have you guys seen that before.

Once you start abusing it, the body won't be able to handle it. That is why so many people say the one to one ratio, because you need time off so the body can "calm" down and produce it ourselves again (we produce it naturally. jut not in big bunches). If we abuse it like anything in this world, side effects are going to happen, for example, your body will get so accustomed to recieving regular doses (that is if you don't take a break) that the liver will stop producing it, which eventually causes damage to the liver. But as long as we are responsible and not take it for granted and treat it seriously (b/c it is a drug almost) everything should be okay...hope that helps!
