For the last 2 wks I ve been using the powder form. I swear it makes me sicker. I feel much more flu like aches, chills etc. Has anyone else experienced anything similiar?

I noticed no difference between the two at all.  They are the same drug.  The only difference is one already has water added and the other doesn't.  Chemically and in terms of effect, they should be identical.

     Thats what I would think. But I do think in the powder form there are any number of "inert" agents. Something nakes the flu-like symp worse.
