The Modern Libertine's diary

[Cortez]

That's just the thing. Spiral, it's not like coffee where it burns out your epinephrine and dopamine reserves and then causes you to crash. In fact, it doesnt force your body to release any more of either of those at all, so it won't be like an immediate energy boost. It gives your body the raw materials to naturally produce more of both of those neurotransmitters and so it is an escalating effect the longer you take. After a week, you should be feeling more social and ready to go after your goals more as well as being able to focus better and not identifying so strongly with your emotions...such are the effects of high levels of dopamine. It also just generally makes you better at whatever you're doing. I love the stuff. I want to continue taking it forever.
