First off, big thanks to Steve for generously giving out free bottles of PEA, and paying for international shipping!

My bottle of CN PEA arrived very fast considering Canada customs has always taken 4 weeks to process my supplement orders (only from the US). It came in half that time which was a pleasant surprise. I rather like CN's bottle design. It takes away the 'herbal vibe' that alot of supplements give off, and screams pharmaceutical strength. cool.gif

So I sat and wondered how I would dose it and knowing beforehand that PEA used alone has minimal effects as it is rapidly degraded by MAO-b. It would only be fair to test it both with and without deprenyl, as well as a wide dosage range. I'm geared to use half the bottle without dep, and the other half with dep. Bottles are 120count at 500mg, so there's plenty to test.


DAY 1__________________________
Dosage: 1000mg qd, no meal, w/o dep

Something is definitely different. I don't know what it is, but it has definitely has altered my perception. I'm with my girlfriend today, so I'm already in a good mood. Everything just seems okay. I am content with everything. Not euphoric, just happy in the moment. Despite having very noticable heartburn (which I believe was drug induced), I am in a good mood. No increased energy to speak of, no sedation either, but it is calming.


DAY 2__________________________
Dosage: 1000mg tid, no meal, w/o dep

Good mood once again. The effects are short-lasting, as expected, but overall fairly decent. Heartburn occured after dosing again, although not as bad today. Redosing is not a problem for me as I've gotten very good at taking them discreetly, even in public. It's something you pick up when you're prescribed something that's to be taken qid, or 'every 2 hours'. It is too early in the run to give an accurate opinion on the compound. Time will tell.

Your quite welcome. Lets try 1 gram followed by 500 mg 15 mins later if you like.

DAY 3__________________________
Dosage: 1500mg bid, no meal, w/o dep

Very nice. I can't relate this feeling to any drug I've ever tried. My mind feels clear and calm. I'm thinking at a faster pace, but unlike other stimulants, the thoughts aren't depressive. I don't feel any peripheral stimulation, and I do feel as if I could get to sleep if needed, but I rather enjoy being awake. A definite reduction in anxiety aswell. Most stimulants I've used have had inconsistent effects on anxiety. Other stimulants would either reduce or amplify anxiety unpredictably. PEA feels like a realiable anxiolytic, which is perfect to have for those crappy days. Definitely makes spending time with my girl more enjoyable aswell. She literally gets euphorically happy and very energetic after eating milk chocolate. I can only assume this to be a result of the combination of theobromine, PEA, and possibly organic MAO inhibitors that may be present in cocoa beans. I'll be giving her some caps to test this out. I'd like to add that there was no heartburn today. Great day overall.

DAY 4__________________________
Dosage: 2000mg tid, no meal, w/o dep

Simply incredible. I'm sociable, happy, witty, and all around content. My conversations are full of humour yet I'm not sounding any dumber. =)
I work patrolling through large crowds of people, so anxiety is something I am very well familiar with. PEA is truely a remarkable anxiolytic. Tryptophan and Tyrosine are pathetic wrt. anxiety. Heartburn has been sort of unpredictable. It may or may not happen after I dose. It's definitely a minor side-effect given PEA's remarkable benefits. It makes for an excellent antidepressant in my opinion. Only problem i'm going through my bottle too fast. I will definitely purchase this sometime. If PEA feels this good without deprenyl, I can only imagine what results I could get with it.

Sorry for my lack of responses. I've been caught up with work and life. PEA has made both very enjoyable.

DAY 5__________________________
Dosage: 1500mg bid, no meal, w/o dep

I'm back down to 1500mg to conserve capsules. Not as good as the previous day, but still pretty good nonetheless.
I'm stress-free and content with my life. I find myself not dwelling on errors or past mistakes. My outlook on the future remains positive - despite all those emo-enviromentalists bitching about carbon emissions. Bunch of hypocritic retards don't even realize that they breathe out carbon emissions all the damn time. Hopefully they'll kill themselves knowing what harm they're doing to the environment. smile.gif
