This is a field report,
This was my 2nd time trying Sulbutiamine, the first time I took 200mg and felt nothing. Yesterday, I took 150mg Armodafinil (first time switching from modafinil) and 600mg Sulbutiamine in the morning just after eating a light breakfeast. Surprisingly I felt very little, I went to the library to study a few hours later and felt only a little hyper (caffeine like jittery).... Now about 4 hours later I meet a mate in a pub and have one beer, (bear in mind I haven't eating hardly anything which would be a factor) but that one beer hit me like several beers would, and got worse! about one hour later I started to feel very weird, not drink but more like a bad mushroom trip, I felt super anti-social and very very depressed. This depression lasted all the rest of the day!
The depression tapered out right at the end of the night, it was severe and horrible but and I woke up Ok this morning. I've thrown out my Sulbutiamine given I got no benefit and just negative side effects. Can anyone comment on how this combo caused depression when both Mod and Sulbutiamine, are supposed to cause a lift in mood? From what I've read alcohol is supposed to mix favourably with these 2 nootropics.
Any thoughts?
