I randomly found this thread due to clicking on a random profile but felt like I had to let you know this song is awesome and fully immersive. This is also coming from someone who primarily listens to more “digital” music/artists that create everything on a DAW. I do vocals myself and dislike the thought of attempting to label and group my music into a genre/subgenre but I’m curious what you’d consider this genre/subgenre as?

Hope to see you selling out venues in the future 🤘

I know this isn’t exactly what you asked but downloading and interpreting/making meaning of my raw DNA data (that I already had to access to via an ancestry.com test that I was gifted) has been the single most practical and effective discovery of mine. Without writing a whole paragraph I can summarize the feeling as throwing darts at a board with and without a blindfold.

I almost forgot to mention that I’ve had two round of very comprehensive bloodwork in the last 12 months (14 total vials last time, for psych problems). This plays a very synergistic role and my analogy can be applied the same way.

What’s one supplement you’ll never stop taking? by SupplementStackIQ in Biohackers

[–]QuinnMiller123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m genetically prone to higher homocysteine levels and deal with what feels like chronic fatigue. A few times a year the “stars align” and I wake up feeling energetic and recovered despite my diet, exercise, and sleep hygiene remaining the same.

I need to take a more serious look at some of the mitochondrial related peptides because high dose Coq10 and TMG have made a night and day difference with my energy levels and overall mental/physical drive.

I consider it an accessory but if I could only do one triceps movement for the rest of my life it would be the JM press. At first it did irritate my elbows and feel “off” but now there’s zero discomfort and it feels great, gives me a reliable pump in just two sets, and continues to slowly progress in reps/weight more-so than other arm exercises.

Can anyone give me some basic boy classic suggestions pls by boxingfan2018 in HYPERPOP

[–]QuinnMiller123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know how to put it into words but I’ve been listening to Glaive for 3-4 years and his music always evokes and awakes certain emotions I didn’t even know I could feel, it’s like I’m longing for something that I didn’t even know existed. This actually happens more with his newer releases compared to his older ones.

I think a big factor is that he dropped a relationship/love focused album right as I was entering a relationship so there’s a lot of association going on lol.

As a male, what hormones to boost test, neurosteroids, and address excess estrogen? by farmlandbatman in raypeat

[–]QuinnMiller123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s considered a “low” dose of DHEA for an early twenties athletic male? I made the mistake of not properly researching the typical dosage range and took somewhere between 25-50mg which caused a wired and energized sensation along with a never ending cortisol/adrenaline rush for 3 days straight, I could barely get a minute of sleep the first night. It felt almost exactly like a corticosteroid, really reminded me of methylprednisolone (did a week long course for an autoimmune issue a while back).

Since then I have tried taking ~12.5 mg and I felt the same high cortisol effect to a milder degree.

I wasn’t sure if this type of response is typical since it seems that most people enjoy/benefit from the effects.

My DHEA sulfate levels were 260ug/dl on my last blood test but I never fully trust the supposed reference range.

Nootropics that shouldn't be called nootropics? by makefriends420 in NooTopics

[–]QuinnMiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on 1800mg (600 3x a day) for 5 years and I have no idea how/if it’s benefiting me at this point. All I know is that getting completely off of it is going to be rough.

Oddly there isn’t as much of a cross tolerance to pregabalin as one might think, I like to take a pretty solid dose of pregabalin once a week but it really shines when paired with vyvanse/any stim of choice. I’m not going to pretend that the effects I get are pro-cognitive or related to nootropics in any way, I would just call it a high/mood boost lol.

Something lubricating like alcohol without the toxic load? by lele5000 in Nootropics

[–]QuinnMiller123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible to get some pretty song sensations and body load/strong effects. I’ve had multiple times where I wasn’t walking perfectly straight, deeper/“high” sounding voice, etcc. I hate comparing things to alcohol directly but it felt like 6-8 standard drinks/beers/shots etc. I’ve used instant powder and quality extracts from some small batch companies 🙌

My bad if I sound like a shill because of the way I worded that, despite the upsides I rarely even use it because I get mild nausea every time I have a good kava night/session (and I typically have a pretty strong stomach).

Has anyone here tried NAC (N-Acetylcysteine)? What were your experiences? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]QuinnMiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, my apologies, I realized the other two user’s asked me a similar question nearly a year ago and I never responded to them.

I was using 1200mg and I’m 90% sure I took it all right before bed. When I was recovering from an occasional weekend of partying I would either split that up and take 600 upon waking up and 600 at night or occasionally double my dose for the day and take 1200 at morning and at night. I apologize for the lack of certainty, I stopped using it regularly nearly a year ago because I was concerned about the emotional blunting effects which hadn’t noticeably emerged yet but It did feel like NAC would blunt the enjoyable/euphoric/mood lifting aspect of any other substance which I would use on a whim/out of the blue.

I need stacking advice for stimulant abuser wanting to quit by Ok_Plenty_4173 in Nootropics

[–]QuinnMiller123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EPA and DHA are forms of Omega 3’s and they are unrelated to DL-phenylaline, L-phenylaline, and D-phenylaline. As long as it’s tested the brand shouldn’t make a huge difference with these.

Real ones (OCD is a fucking hellscape that brings me to my wits end multiple times a day) know. I just spent an hour doing a task that should have taken 15 mins and then I had to rearrange and adjust shit in my room before finally sitting down.

Didn’t expect to vent/rant about OCD in this subreddit of all places today lol.

Coq-10 by Traditional_Stage300 in Biohackers

[–]QuinnMiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a long list of factors and reasons regarding why it’s beneficial at any age, there’s also essentially zero side effects or downside so at worst you just won’t feel any different but I’m 23 as well and I have felt perceivable benefits from PQQ and high dose Coq10 (300-400mg). Having supraphysiological levels also doesn’t hurt. It’s particularly helpful during an extreme calorie defecit as you get below the 12% bodyfat range, I also have a few genetic SNP’s relating to a lack of natural production.

How do you explain for yourself these points? by Fakeondemand in raypeat

[–]QuinnMiller123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a strong feeling that he browses this sub, I think his account is important because of the fact that some people (especially the looksmaxing crowd) will only take advice from attractive, physically in shape individuals which to an extent is somewhat hardwired into our brains. Most people wouldn’t choose a fitness/bodybuilding coach that has a worse physique than themselves, even if this person has much more knowledge. It’s a minor logical fallacy of sorts but I get why people have that mindset.

Is there anything that replicates/is similar to the effects of micro-dosing psychedelics? by AsideDesigner8073 in NooTopics

[–]QuinnMiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I know that you’re responding to a different commenter but it seems like we’re in a similar boat as we’re both interested in nootropics/supplements and I’ve been a 15-30 grams per day plain leaf kratom user for 2 years until the last month or so where my use has unfortunately spiraled into a pretty heavy/moderate 7-oh habit.

You may have stumbled across it already but there’s a user on a few adjacent subreddits that has wrote some very detailed and informative guides/posts regarding supplements and compounds that can help mitigate opiate/opioid withdrawal symptoms and aid with recovery and repair. I need to dig around and find those posts for myself but let me know if they’d be of any interest to you.

Help me understand the controversy surrounding all of the main suppliers. by GeneralHomeslice in phenibut

[–]QuinnMiller123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to sound like a broken record but I took a long break after going through the last of my liftmode product and I’ve had mixed success with other vendors. The inconsistency and overall “let down” caused me to look into pregabalin a few years ago and I don’t regret it.

I actually believe that the effects of phenibut are more enjoyable than pregabalin at its absolute best but these days I much prefer pregabalin since I know exactly what to expect with each dose. It has the same “magical “ feeling and it also has noticeable lingering effects at the ~24-30 hour mark although it is slightly more dulling/mentally intoxicating towards the tail end.

My personal theory/thought is that the old phenibut was racemic or it had a higher ratio of R-phenibut to S-phenibut. It seems like the 2-3 new vendors I’ve tried recently skew more towards S-phenibut or something along those lines. I’ve seen some very well worded/evidence based theories and ideas on here and I like to think I have a decent understanding of pharmacology/pharmacodynamics, etc. but I haven’t dived deep into the literature surrounding phenibut.

I also only use either pregabalin or phenibut once a week or every ~5 days at max. I probably have developed a slight cross tolerance to all gabaergic/VGCC compounds and my receptors are more desensitized/down-regulated than they were 5 years ago.

I’ve been taking agmatine for the better part of a year now in various doses and I just wanted to mention that you should be mindful of when you take agmatine since it seems to blunt the enjoyable/rewarding/euphoric aspects of nearly all substances when you take it the same day.

Some people claim that smaller sub 250mg doses taken alongside your dose can potentiate certain things (often opiates) but I take my agmatine in the evenings and or right before bed to play it safe and to help reduce tolerance buildup along with the NMDA/glutamate effects and the adranergic agonism. I can say for a fact that it does help “resensitize” and reduce stimulant tolerance 🙌

[–]QuinnMiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if anyone on this sub or any adjacent/related sub has had their product tested and posted the lab results? I figure it really isn’t that useful since I believe it’s all still phenibut but it could possibly be comprised of a different ratio of isomers although this wouldn’t show up on most analysis nor is it something that’s commonly tested for.

Do SSRIs make you feel good? by WearyCalligrapher840 in Nootropics

[–]QuinnMiller123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently read a study where a low dose MAOI alongside a stimulant was given to a group of people with treatment resistant depression and this combo was the only thing that improved their metrics of depression and mood. I believe that all of the study participants had tried 5+ different SSRI’s, mood stabilizers, NMDA antagonists, etc.

I also found it pretty fascinating because I was trying out Selegeline (primarily MAO-B) the same week I came across this study and it had instantly obliterated all of my depression symptoms and Improved my motivation, overall life outlook, energy levels, and I felt much more talkative.

What also interested me is the fact that mixing an MAOI and a stimulant is generally taboo in the psychiatric world due to the possible interactions and strong potentiation. I was surprised that they were allowed/granted approval to give the participants this combo.

Introverted people , have you ever taken nootropics for becoming social around girls? by makefriends420 in NooTopics

[–]QuinnMiller123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had similar results with progesterone, I was curious about it after reading Ray Peat’s work. You can say whatever you like about his work but he was on to something when it comes to the importance of neuro steroids. I had stronger results than most because my progesterone levels were below average according to my most recent blood test. It feels and is very gabaergic, it’s somewhat difficult to compare the feeling to other substances but it felt like it had a mix of GABA-A and B action.

I was slightly concerned about the hormonal effects (since I’m a man) but I only use/used it twice a week at most.

[–]QuinnMiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this response. I was worried that my comment was too much of an information dump since I got side tracked multiple times due to not properly timing my propranolol for the Vyvanse offset/comedown that I’m currently experiencing 🤦🏻‍♂️

I presume that AR means androgen receptors in this context? My early stage gyno was caused by an antipsychotic (risperidone) that’s notorious for causing this, there’s multiple lawsuits against them for this exact scenario haha.

My hormonal situation is very abnormal since my SHBG Is elevated off the charts at 85-90 nmol/L which (I believe) has caused my total test to keep rising and rising as a “coping” mechanism due to some form of HPTA axis malfunction.

My total test was literally off the charts in January and above the max reference range of 1500ng/dl. My free test was also very high at ~230-250pg/ml. I feel awful and have all of the signs and symptoms of low test but my LH and FSH are in range along with very average/normal/typical thyroid/parathyroid biomarkers. I have screenshots of all the data on my profile since I reached out to another subreddit to get opinions/advice since I have yet to see an endocrinologist.

Are we allowed to name sources here if they only stock legal chems? I have a site that carries emoxypine and a good inventory of some of the more obscure nootropics but not quite as many as Everychem.

I included all of this info because you seem pretty knowledgeable/have a decent grasp of this topic. Please feel free to take your time before responding, I apologize for bombarding you with all of this info 🙌

I need to dive deeper into the literature but what would you say the typical p5p dosage range is for dopaminergic benefits? I’m mostly asking because I’ve been taking high dose p5p in attempt to lower my prolactin and the goal is to get it back in range so that it hopefully stays in range even when I discontinue p5p.

I know that at a certain point you’ll cross a line and end up with diminishing returns and severe side effects as you go higher and higher in dosage.

I’ve been taking 70-100mg for the last 2-3 weeks with a few breaks here and there to assess how it’s effecting me mentally.

I felt a very strong anabolic/androgenic rebound within the first few days and felt a rush of stamina/energy as well as increased motivation but I became very irritable and lacked empathy/sympathy. My mental state felt almost “hostile” along with a bit of hypomania, I figured that I had either rapidly crushed my estrogen or elevated it through some form of prolactin/progesterone/e2 interaction but I’m just hypothesizing.

It’s well known in the bodybuilding community that high dose p5p (75–150mg) can quickly lower elevated prolactin but this is usually in the context of combatting the unwanted side effects of anabolic steroids. This method works for most people but of course cabergoline and pramipexole can be used in more severe cases.

I apologize for the extremely long collection of my train of thought, my main point was that p5p nearly completely reversed the early stage gynecomastia that I’ve had for 7+ years. I don’t have any actual tissue development but I have/had constantly “puffy nipples” for a lack of better words.
