Hi
I alredy posted it in a other thread.
But I will repeat the most important things Periactine does to me.
I dont take it on a regular basis. Just if I feel apathic and fatigued and have to accomplish a task which requires attention and energy, I take it. Within 30 mins or so it starts working. Mildly stimulating, anti fatigue, mind refeshing. Provides mental focus to do stuff. sharpens my mind a bit.
Also decreases numbness and has a pro libido effect.
But it is, for me, not really sedating (maybe a bit), not really anticholinergic (dumbing or dry mouth), nor does it increase appetite further. maybe Nortriptyline already ocupied my 2C receptor and Periacin does not add any noticeable blockade, because its alredy "knocked out". maybe.
Only bothering side effect is after repeated administration, I get sore corners of the mouth!? strange. I can remember that some nutritional deficits can couse this, but I am not aware of any "anti vitamin" action of Pericatin. I guess this has some other reasons.
just my 2 cents (or 3 =) )
bye
Roland
