Hey has anyone ever participated in a clinical study were you were paid after? I've been scoping a few out that pay quite a lot of money for the time involved but I was wondering if it's sketchy or not. Anyone with experience with that?

i've had friends or friends of friends who've done it. and you usually get paid more if you have more reactions/ symptoms after they give you whatever it is. i think someone got sick for like a week and got 2000, and then another one got headaches and got 300$. it'll vary.

Risk not worth the cash.

Generally those studies ask you to sign release forms that clear them of any responsibility for your health after the study or after a certain time frame.  So you might be fine, you might get sick for a week, or you might be fine for 10 years then be really sick.  It's a big gamble.
