I bought some of strangeloves NSI and had my first 40mg dose sublingualy yesterday. Took another 20mg this morning and another 40mg about 7 hours later. This could be a placebo so I will be posting more experiences later.
I work in finance and manage investment portfolios. Work was a breeze today, I was getting things done quicker than usual and with great memory recall. It's hard for me to really describe my mental effects because I'm currently going through a breakup so thoughts and emotions are going crazy. I do notice physical effects though. The center of my brain near my forehead starts itching about 1-2 hours after dosing and doesn't stop for several hours (like when you put a sharp object near your forehead). Also my whole brain feels like it's pulsing, it's not a headache though, it's weird but feels good. Not sure if anyone else felt something like that. There's also some visual/mental thing that I can't describe yet. It's only been a day and I can already tell this stuff is doing something, just not sure what yet. I'll post more experiences tomorrow.
I have been using Strangelove's NSI-189 for 12 days now. I started with 10 mg two times a day, sublingually the first two days, then took 20 mg once a day. The last two days now I've been taking 30 mg once a day. I can definately say that it works. I can feel that it is antidepressive. I am less ruminative about things, less down in a depressive mood. That, while I still feel as level headed as usual, it's not like it is clouding my judgement or making me feel weird. I haven't noticed any side effects so far. And no discernible HD-vision. It seems to have no bad interactions with 2 mg of Memantine and 8 mg of Galantamine. That's my experience so far. To put it shortly, my experience of NSI is that it is emotionally stabilizing and antidepressive.

I’m really liking Strangelove’s new stuff. Got ten grams yesterday and could feel its effects from the first 40-mg. dose. I had been ruminating all morning about not having been nicer to my parents before they died, and listening to old Todd Rundgren songs, which only compounded the problem. The day started out well; I had the day off and was getting a lot of productive work done around the house when the melancholy suddenly gripped me. The NSI-189 lifted me right out of it and a couple of hours later I was back to my old self and returned to mopping the floors and rearranging my storage space. I don’t think it was a placebo effect. I have a pet theory that once the NSI-189 does its magic, which takes a few weeks or months to initially kick in, the brain somehow becomes “primed” in some way such that subsequent single doses have an immediate effect.
These three experiences are from the new batch. In the past I wrote a general "no good" describing this batch as I was not 100% sure that is even NSI-189.
Experimenting further and reading recent reviews, I am sure its NSI-189, but I need a larger dose than usual and still believe that this batch is "diluted". Nevertheless other members reading the positive reviews still insist buying it, so I am giving it for a discount around 1/4 the price from the cheapest on line vendor in US. After I ll test the samples I have on hand and confirm purity, I ll return to 1/2 price, and give a further good discount for those interested in larger amounts for long-term use. Fortunately a member from Europe gave me a link with a university lab in Poland doing HPLC analysis for 70euros/hour, I am not sure what the total would be, but if anyone interested to test anything for purity send me a pm, for some reason that same member told me not to post the link in public.
In general its not a good idea to trust the Chinese, in Reddit, Ceretropic's owner complains about bad batches often. Anyone buying from China should not have price as the only factor in mind, as it seems that in order to give a competitive price they can add inactive fillers.
Writing a message to the lab, politely saying I have some suspicions about purity, they replied that they now have improved the synthesis process and can ship NSI-189 of higher purity, this somewhat confirm my suspicion. Even though you still get results from this batch, I ll reship with confirmed high purity, except for those that agreed in the extra discount.
Edit: Maybe a forum software issue, but I am getting continuous double posts.
