Positive experiences
“I was experiencing a go getter mindset and increased focus and drive with DMAE.”
“I have been using DMAE for a few weeks and it works pretty well, especially nasally (although it burns like hell)”
“Mostly what has helped me is caffeine, theanine, and dmae, with tyrosine for long homework sessions.”
“I took 750 mg and also 130 mg DMAE for acetylcholine with it and I felt way more alert and less fuzzy.”
“For me DMAE 300mg before sleep is amazing.”
“my mood lifted, my concentration got better and was alert”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I was taking a hefty dose (~1.5g DMAE/day)... depression came back abruptly after I started taking piracetam (dosed with DMAE)... I stopped the DMAE... and it went away nearly overnight.”
“I have been taking soy lecithin, vipocentrine, and DMAE daily...then i crash, though i cant be certain whether it is due to my DMAE itself, or my crazy sleep cycle.”
“Not feeling any difference.. I find it really weird I don't feel any different than I normally do.. no concentration boost or anything.”
“I was successfully able to use DMAE for this. It provided a mild, clean stimulation that didn’t affect sleep. When I tried again recently, it didn’t work however.”
“I've taken DMAE by itself in the past, and I remember it gave me a clean, mild stimulation, without the side effects and crash of typical stimulants.”
“Is centrophenoxine same DMAE? I tried it but It increased my blood pressure and give me some headache, but overall it was good nootropic.”
