God, I can't even comprehend how badly I'd do with that.Actually, as a matter of fact, the first time he tried this "experiment" he only took 800 MG and not only did he have no euphoria, but he had several of the nasty side effects you mentioned.
However, for reasons I don't understand at all, when he increased his dose to 1300 MG, all the terrible side effects vanished, and he was left with only a minor headache, which was cured by a couple ibu-profen, and the euphoria. Oh, and he did have insomnia, but he was feeling so good he didn't wanna go to sleep. :)
I can't explain why the side-effects vanished at a higher dose... drugs just work in mysterious ways.
