Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 One thing about the ginko is that ever since i started taking it i've had what feels like air trapped in my ear. I went to the doc and he said theres nothing wrong with it. So i figured hey if it can restore receptors then who cares if its a bit uncomfortable, but i haven't noticed much improvement with it and perhaps theres too much oxygen. i'll wait awhile cuz it takes awhile for ginko to leave the body. and then maybe try one capsul a day of the N-O. i kinda feel like i've been messing around though and maybe i shouldn't. Same kinda thing when i tried St. s wort a couple months ago. I took the lowest dose, 300mgs . and within a couple weeks i felt like i was on a cloud. But i decided i had come so far and didn't wanna take something for the rest of my life. also it seemed fake. Kinda like a pain killer, and even though i felt GOOD, i still couldn't feel pleasure or concentrate better taking it. -joe > Dear Joe, > > > You said: > > > <<just wanted to let you know i had kind of a bad reaction to this > product.
