Thankyou for your post, I have taken DMAE in the past and just recently I began to try it again, the first time I took it I was at uni and was using other supplements like acytl carnitine, I was having a difficult time concentrating while I was taking DMAE but when I stopped I had the most amazing learning capacity and focus beyond what I ever imagined I was capable of, however as time past I have struggled to find that level of performance, I have tried taking everything that I had taken before without ever reaching the level of performance I had reached before and the only thing I hadnt tried again was DMAE because I read that it can cause confusion which is what I experienced when I was on it. So I began taking it again about 3 or 4 weeks ago, for the first 2 weeks I noticed a massive improvement in my mood and motivation, concentration and my mental abilities felt like they were rising however I reached a peak and then fell into a decline where I began to be unable to concentrate and my mood became extremely very low, my mood is still low at this moment however I have a theory that my brain has been over stimulated and has become exhausted, try drinking orange juice everyday and the same symptoms will occur and so my theory is that if you want to supplement with DMAE then after a week or so you should reduce your dose significantly in order not to overstimulate your brain and to avoid a massive crash, my preliminary conclusion or theory is that DMAE does help with mental function a great deal but I think it must accumulate in your brain and so a very minute tiny dose should have more steady long term benefits than taking the recommended dose, I've been reducing it by taking about a quarter of a 175mg pill, I have not noticed a significant improvement in my mood yet and so my plan now is to reduce this much more significantly to try and reduce the does to about 1mg in the hope this will help me recover and to achieve a long term beneficial effect on my mood and anxiety because initially DMAE really did make me feel super positive and confident, the increased mental capabilities potential is also a massive bonus too which anyone would love to aquire if indeed my theory is correct I will add an update when I have drawn a conclusion after a few weeks of a super low doseView Thread
