> I've been taking it for about 4-5 weeks now. NOW brand, 500 mg per day, taken in the morning. The first few days I felt a bit more anxious and then nothing until about 3 weeks. Then it seemed I felt more social, slightly less depressed, had a bit more energy but then that faded after just a few days, which was pretty disappointing. I've kept taking it because I feel like it's good for my body, improving digestion, blood sugar and enhancing libido.
>Interesting. I actually just switched today to the NOW brand and I can definitely tell it's more potent than the Rodax (GNC) brand I was taking. I did get a pretty good energy boost today and overall I think it helped my mood. On the flip side I am a bit irritable - noticed myself being impatient with people which isn't a good thing.
I'll let everyone know how my trial w/ NOW works out. Also sorry to hear it didn't work well for you in the long term :( I found a few posts on another board which said good things about the NOW brand. We shall see....
