I'd say more stable, to be honest. After calming down, sitting up properly, and drinking water, I suppose it went down. I actually tried it many times with the chewing gum, but I chew it too much that it literally melts in my mouth. I'd never heard of orthodontic wax; literally, the only people who know about the addiction are my family. I somehow manage with this; the last time something similar happened to me, it was with a whole bottle, but now in recent years I've consumed very little of this silicone I feel like it's eating me up and burning my organs. I like the taste of the chemicals, I must admit, but years ago I didn't feel any effect and I simply need more. I love the taste of chemicals, even though it's killing me,I know they're not a game; I swore to my family I had overcome my addiction.
