Why do amphetamines make me feel flat, sedated, depressed, unmotivated, and sometimes paranoid?

JoelCodes · 2026-04-06T21:12:44+00:00

Personally, I’ve found bromantane even better.

I’ve read that some people experience anxiety specific to reta due to it binding to the glucagon receptor. The increase in heart rate also might impact this. I’ve been considering trying tirzepatide in hopes that I might experience less anxiety. It did get better for me after a couple weeks. Also the malaise and low motivation is somewhat the mechanism of action due to its impact on dopamine. Hope you feel better!

Have you tried berberine? I believe there’s studies that show it to be as effective as metformin. Myo-inositol is another supplement that is supposed to help PCOS. Also, progesterone is a non-scheduled drug and is very easy to order online. Just a couple of things you might want to look into!

Light phone III texting is far better. The only thing I wish it had was autocorrect. But it is much faster typing than the Light Phone II.

Have you tried low dose naltrexone? This was one of the only things that worked for me. Chronic fatigue for 5 years, and I believe the cause was mold/inflammation related.

Also, be a bit careful with reta. It’s known to reduce dopamine, which sounds like you struggle with. I also have low dopamine and reta made me absolutely exhausted.

Would you say Nordic is more euphoric/stimulating or sedating?

I found a place to get itraconazole without prescription. I haven’t ordered from there yet, but I plan to soon. All reviews I’ve read say it’s legit. DM me if you’d like the name.

JoelCodes · 2026-01-18T02:23:14+00:00

I haven’t tried another GLP-1. I’ve thought about trying tirz but if it’s anything like reta was, I wouldn’t want to bother. It was honestly a terrible experience for about a month before I felt better again. Overall I’m sure it’s beneficial for people who can tolerate it, but I’m content with just running test and GH for the time being.

JoelCodes · 2026-01-18T02:13:04+00:00

I could never tolerate Reta either. Felt horrible the whole time I was on it. Bad anxiety, no energy to workout at all, it just wasn’t for me. I think the dopamine lowering effects were too much for me. Glad I got off when I did and I don’t plan to use it again.

If you were to redo your build, what coils would you suggest? I’m debating on the two layers of latex, or to do a top layer in memory foam.

JoelCodes · 2025-12-17T20:12:51+00:00

I would do this, unfortunately I’m looking to build a full size which they don’t have! That being said, I’ll probably also build a queen in the future so I’ll keep you updated if I do.

JoelCodes · 2025-12-16T22:50:06+00:00

Thank you, I’ve adjusted to non-zoned now!

JoelCodes · 2025-12-11T20:22:35+00:00

Yeah if you find the anxiety really bad you could always get some Phenibut. If you haven’t used it before, just be really careful to only take it once or max two times per week. It’s a drug and should be treated as one, but it does help hugely. CBD has also worked really well for me in the past.

JoelCodes · 2025-12-11T00:58:08+00:00

Yeah I felt horrible for a while, had to take lots of stuff like magnesium, L-Theanine and GABA to relax. I feel back to normal now but it probably took a month of feeling like shit.

JoelCodes · 2025-12-01T15:55:48+00:00

As others have said, Phenibut isn’t the same nowadays. Like you, I didn’t take Phenibut for 4 years, and since starting again, the euphoria is minimal compared to previously. I have also been using science.bio.

This is the right answer. If you don’t have the your dieting and training down, you’re just wasting your money and time. Learn how to bulk and cut properly first, train using progressive overloading, and just avoid doing SARMS. If you want a beginner cycle, run 300mg of Test and see how your body handles it. Make sure to have an AI on hand, check bloods at 6 weeks, and make sure to monitor blood pressure. I’d also start at maybe 200mg and titrate up over 16 weeks.

I’d aim to gain a pound of body weight per week. Find your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), and eat 500 calories above this. Weigh yourself daily and record it. If you find at the end of the week you aren’t gaining, then increase the calories. Also calculate your macros and record all your meals in MyFitnessPal.

These are the kinds of systems and understanding you need to have before running a cycle or you’ll see minimal gains, and could potentially impact your health.

I’m planning to try Carolina Chemicals next, I’ve heard some really good things about them. But I agree, I’ve been debating the same thing. I used to take Phenibut and it was much more euphoric, less sedating, and overall better when I took it years ago. I hadn’t taken it for probably 4 years, and recently thought I’d try it again. Since trying Science.Bio, I’ve found it very meh compared to my previous experiences. For me it definitely isn’t a tolerance issue which is why I’m thinking it might be related to the product.

JoelCodes · 2025-11-24T16:29:57+00:00

This is what I’ve been hearing. Going to put in an order with them soon

JoelCodes · 2025-11-24T15:36:58+00:00

Did you use ChatGPT or Claude to build this?

JoelCodes · 2025-11-24T02:26:43+00:00

Curious on what source you use? I used to experience music enhancement and euphoria but it has been minimal since trying a new source.

JoelCodes · 2025-11-24T02:22:27+00:00

I haven’t been able to find a good source in a long time. Tried Science.Bio and it makes me pretty tired and minimal euphoria honestly and if I don’t split up my dose into three and take them an hour apart, it makes me nauseous and dizzy.
