Hey Manic, thanks for the advice. I also wanted to ask you how your experience has spanned out so far; how long did it take for you to feel pronounced effects (or was it too gradual to tell?) Also, how long have you been taking it and are the effects still increasing or have you reached a plateau?
Thanks!
The stuff works instantly in my experience. The first time I took it (10-15mg) I noticed a clarity of vision and a "more aware" headspace. Difficult to describe but a distinct reaction that happens every time. Although there are immediate effects the effects do build in intensity each day for the first 10 days or so at which point you basically plateau.
There doesn't seem to be a "come-down" at all, just kind of gradual return to baseline. It lacks any sort of "body-load" for me, unlike some of the racetams which seem to illicit sensations in the body.
I take it intermittently these days and never go over 30mg a day except for rare occasions (like when I find a stray 100mg capsule laying around from my megadose experiment
). Going over 30mg is not really necessary. If you can make a fine enough powder out of it and use your microscoop to measure it, one to three of those scoops a day should be plenty.
I wouldn't suggest sublingual dosage either. It can increase absorption a bit too much IMO and can lead to side effects in susceptible individuals. It's just easier to gauge the effects as they increase by the day with per-oral administration (swallow that stuff with a small snack).
But like I said, I don't take it regularly anymore so can't comment on a plateau besides the normal plateau that happens after 10 days or so. It increases NGF and BDNF though, so structural changes are potentially happening in the brain with extended treatments.
