Ok guys. I feel like something strange is going on with my body while using this stuff. Not bad strange, but unusual enough to warrant inquiry.
I started taking bulk beta-PEA on Thursday. I had already been taking 1g capped, so I started off with 2.1g.
T:00 - ingested with minute maid lemonade
T:15 - I feel my hands tingle and my pupils dilate. The room gets brighter. I feel slightly dizzy. Everything refocuses and becomes much clearer. My hearing is crisp.
T:20 - As I'm skating to class I feel detached, like my body is a little numb or I'm beginning to trip on psilocybin. Although I didn't sleep well, I'm wide awake, like the feeling of taking a gram of Chocamine or for you coffee drinkers, a few cups, I suppose. The only thing is, I don't feel hyperstimulated or agitated or anxious. It's like the awareness boost of a psychostimulant without the side effects.
The dizziness and tingly-ness went away, but that brighter, crisper sensation did not. I was by no means "euphoric", but I wasn't unhappy, either.
I had trouble falling asleep. The same has been experienced every day since then.
Last night I took GABA, Theanine, Bacopa, Phenibut (over a gram!), Ashwagandha, and ZMA at about 10PM, in an attempt to get some quality deep sleep... I didn't fall asleep until 5AM! My thoughts were crystal clear, not racing, but definitely not relaxed.
Then, to conclude this weird report... This morning I woke up at 8AM (after 3 hours of sleep), felt wide awake, and had overwhelming libido. Luckily my girlfriend stumbled in drunk last night
. After I was satisfied, she went back to sleep, and I read 18th century german philosophy... because I had the energy. For the past few weeks I've barely had the energy to read this stuff after a full night's rest, let alone 3 hours! And... I've been working all day without much fatigue.
WTF is going on here?
