WARNING - be extremely careful with this product
I decided to try this as I struggle with depression and assumed after not having much luck with serotonin boosting products that low dopamine might be my issue. I took two capsules the first time, which was unbelievably strong for me. I felt great, happy, focused, motivated, and really social. It felt like a miracle, but something seemed a little off. Although I felt great, I felt like I was really high. I also noticed some weird agitation/anxiety. I should've just stopped taking it then but I proceeded to take it for three more days, taking one each morning. I was able to get a lot of homework done so I felt the need to keep taking it. It began to have less and less of an effect, so on the third day I stopped taking it. I felt pretty good for most of the week while I was off it, it seemed to be having a lasting effect on me. After a week I took it again, this time it didn't work very well and I became very tired afterwords and felt really off. Didn't take it for another week, then tried one more time and again it made me feel worse. Now I'm going through what feels like my dopamine receptors being completely fried, I've become extremely depressed and lost all my motivation and drive. I don't care about school anymore, I've been missing my classes. I feel fatigued and my muscles ache, I've been having weird anxiety and just feel like a total zombie shut off from the rest of the world. I don't enjoying anything anymore. I've have issues with suicidal ideation through out my life but it's been worse then it ever has since trying this product.
My life has been going to complete shit because of trying dopa macuna. Be super careful when messing with your neurotransmitters, people shouldn't be taking these kinds of supplements without some kind of guidance from a licensed professional. My doctor informed me it could take up to six weeks before my brain starts to recover. So there goes six weeks of my life.
