What people say about Oxytocin and anxiety
“I added 100 mcg Oxytocin, in addition to the IPA, about a month ago... put on about ten pounds of muscle... helped with my social anxiety.”
“It does definitely seem to make me more calm and less impulsive/compulsive. So far not much of an increase in focus.”
“Oxytocin really relaxes me and helps me fall asleep at least for four hours until I have to piss, but I’m 55….”
“I can feel the oxytocin in a minute or two after a subq injection, if I'm ever feeling really anxious I can do a dose of that and it will kill it in a matter of minutes”
