Product: GDP Tincture

Description: Product arrived in a rather nice bottle, sealed in plastic.  No smell from the outside.  On opening there is a nice smell under the alcohol, but not to the point you'd have to worry about it stinking out your breath.

Methodology: (aka why it took so long)  As many of you know my reviews are highly scientific in nature.  I don't half-ass things.  I started on 2 drops, took a day between dosing, and tested for thing like tolerance and effectiveness at each level.

Experience:  I started off taking two drops sublingually… under the tongue.  The alcohol in the tincture burns a bit, but it does help with the absorption rate.  I was told it would take 3 hours to feel effects, but it was more like an hour and 15.  (To be clear, you will feel the alcohol from the tincture first… but that sets in rather quickly and is just a side effect of any tincture)  Your results may vary.  First wave was a mild feeling of relief… relaxation.  For the record I was in a lot of pain after my surgery, and had to go off over the counter pain meds to test… so it was a bit much waiting all day to try this.  It wasn't a miracle cure, but it felt a lot more natural and calming.  For a low dose it was rather nice, but I fell asleep so I can't speak to duration.

Try 2:  repeatability… same dose two days later.  One day off with no tincture.  Similar results, which was nice because I was able to plan out taking it earlier.  Duration was all night, which led to a really nice sleep 5 hours in.

Try 3:  increased the dose to the recommended "high" dose.  6 drops.  Took about 45 to feel effects, but much more pronounced pain relief.  Slightly swimmy feeling, but not in the manner it might impair you.  You will be grinning from ear to ear though.  This is not just pain relief, this is feeling good.  Passed out and slept like a baby, even sleeping through my alarm in the morning.

Try 4:  repeatability test.  6 drops, two days later, no tincture or pain meds.  This time I set up my usually assault of gaming and sound stimulus to test for effects.  Mild music enhancement, mild gaming enhancement… still have that slightly swimmy feeling, but again it didn't feel like it was an issue to accomplishing tasks.  In fact thanks to the pain relief I was able to do some cleaning up and projects that had been on the back burner.  Since I took this dose early in the day I can say it lasted all day for pain relief, with the swimmy feel fading about 6 hours in to the experience.

Try 5:  half dose.  3 drops, two days later.  Early morning "maintain" dose.  I knew I had to go out shopping, and decided to take this dose before breakfast.  By the time I had to leave the house I was feeling pretty good, but not swimmy.  I got comments on how much happier I seemed, which was true.  Not the giddy ear to ear grin of the high dose, but I was able to get all my shopping done without feeling like crap.

Try 6:  original dose, 3 day break.  I'm spoiled by the high dose, but it was pleasant.  Nowhere near as effective as the high dose at that point… but overall I don't think there's a lot of tolerance buildup.  It's all about finding the dose that works best for your situation.

Results: Highly recommended for chronic pain sufferers.  My back pain pretty much evaporated on this stuff, which actually let my body sort itself out.  Surgical wound care pain went from stabby stabby to mildly uncomfortable, which was a vast improvement.  GDP is definitely the bomb.
