I've personally never struggled so hard to recover from anything. I couldn't do it justice in a short post. Lost 75 pounds in a 45 days. Heartrate over a 100 for a month.

Here is a link to another nature article on it: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-03267-5

Yes, I've recovered from long term prescription drug use. It was awful.

I just thought mitochondrial damage was a strange framing.

Thanks.

Edit: The article does talk about mitochondrial damage, though it didn't appear at first glance to address this. It's towards the end of the article.
