Yeah I hear you on the PM. I took it for a while and I was an emotional disaster, went from being perfectly fine one minute to crying over burnt toast the next (literally, I burned toast once and cried hard over it.) Plus I got the flu while I was on it, and I never usually get sick. Before that time it had been years since I had the flu, so I'm pretty sure it messed me up so bad that it lowered my immune system. Even at low doses it turned out to be way too strong for me.

You could always try to rotate the licorice with something else to reduce the risk of toxicity.
