Hey there guys. First of all, english is not my first language, so if you see an incoherent sentence, please understand me.
Here's my tiny history:
I'm civil engineering student, and I tend to be depressive. Last weeks, I tried to change my personality (this sounds stupid, but remember my english is quite poor), because it's too shy with women, and thought that some testosterone enhace could help me a little bit.
I started reading and gathering information and experiences, and I decided to stack this natural testosterone supplements:
Tribulus terrestris (from vitrix - nutrex) -> 500 mg morning (3 caps) + 500 mg evening (3 caps)
DAA or D - aspartic acid (d-pol from PurusLabs) -> 3 grams daily
Isa-test (isatori) -> one dosage 1 hour before sleep (4 caps)
I tried this for almost a week, and had to stop for this reasons:
I started with light headaches and some brain fog from the first dose. I thought it was going to pass but I was wrong.
The fourth day I started noting a decrease in my cognitive abilities (like concentration and generation of ideas). Then I started googling DAA, and I read some issues about neurons related to DAA: I trashed that thing, and keep dosing vitrix and isa-test.
Sadly, by the seventh day, I really needed to left this idea. I wasn't understanding anything in the classroom. I felt like a monkey: my mind was absolutely empty all the time, and I'm always thinking about something. I was very scared (and still I am).
So, I stopped with they three, and I wasn't taking anything. Five days passed, and I wasn't feeling better (in terms of cognitive abilities). Nevertheless, testosterone seems to be better, but not the way I wanted: instead of developing an outgoing personality with woman, I started to feel that every woman was quite sexy and pretty. Even some classmates that I've never thought they were pretty. But this is other story.
I didn't developed that alpha-male personality I wanted.
Here comes the nootropics parts:
I've been building a nootropic stack since some time ago, and finally piracetam & choline bitartrate arrived.
Because too many here recommend to start little by little, I started yesterday with piracetam + choline only.
My atack dose is this (I'm going to do it for five days only):
2 grams piracetam + 2 grams choline, 3 times per day (now I'm in the second day, and I'll start reducing the dose).
(please, any comment here, will be great).
So, I decided to take it.
First day symptons: I started to feel a bit more normal. I could think about things (nothing deep). Had some light headaches (but not the type of headache testosterone stack gave me. I could even say, this headache was pleasurable).
But I still felt myself mentally diminished
Second day, I felt like enjoying the simples things, and focus was quite better. I felt more quiet. Still, mental diminished
Tomorrow will be the third day. I just hope my brain/body eliminate all the tribulus/daa I consumed, and I get my normal shape. I'm quite scared to stay like this for too long, but it seems that nootropics are helping me.
All what I can say, is that DAA is dangerous for cognitive abilities. I'd think twice before using it.
Any comment/recomendation/advice, will be greatly appreciated
PD: is piracetam and choline bitartrate a mixture of bitter and sour?
