    I found it didn’t help much with my focus, memory or concentration (my main issues) but it did a great job helping me chill out a bit. It was pretty subtle, but I felt calmer with much less of the constant anxiety and panicking about not meeting expectations, so I think it did good things for my mental health overall.

    It took a few days to kick in but I did stop eventually due to side effects. First one I noticed was that it gave me an upset stomach, nausea, and reduced my appetite, especially if I took it on an empty stomach. My heart rate increased a bit, not so much at rest but any time I moved around it would speed up a lot more than it ought to. The real dealbreaker for me was erectile dysfunction, though… I was having a lot of trouble keeping it up, orgasm wasn’t as pleasurable, and my sex drive dropped like a rock.

    I have heard these kinds of hardware issues can go away after a while for most people so I tried to stick with it, but I didn’t see any improvement after a couple months so I stopped taking it in the end. Had a pretty gnarly headache and felt like a horny teenager again for a couple days after stopping, but that all cleared up pretty quick and everything’s back to normal now.

      Yep, I’m feeling super chill without the need to meet anyone else’s expectations. It’s like I’m solidly grounded on what I want to do, then can just do it. It’s very odd. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you because of the side effects, but I’m happy everything returned back to normal. Hopefully, you found another way to manage the difficulties.
