First off, I want to thank Steve for giving me the oppurtunity to give this stuff a shot. I've heard lots of good things about it so I can't wait to see how it goes. I'll be taking my first dose here in a couple minutes and will report back later on this evening.

Over the years of training, eating, lifting, running, supplementing, shaping and even abusing my body, an axiomatic truth that I have often failed to grasp, but perhaps am on the verge of acquiring, is that desire without discipline will never, ever produce the fruits of joyous success. Discipline leads to perseverance, and perseverance leads to character; and that's what bodybuilding is truly all about: becoming the best person - body, mind and spirit - that you can be.

Yep.
I popped one cap (750mg) on an empty stomache.
About 10 minutes after dose, I had the feeling of 'the runs'. I get the same feeling after taking ******** or riddilin.
About 20 minutes after dose, I felt a very calm, but focused energy. I didn't have the jitters, which was suprising. I gave one to my room mate also, and at this point I overheard her singing and dancing in the kitchen, lol.
About 45 minutes after dose, I was still very calm, but I had a very high alertness about everything. I walked into the kitchen, and my roomy handed me a plate of fresh grilled talapia! (never cooks for me). She had her Ipod cranked up too high to even hear me say thank you. I take it she'll be wanting more!
After I ate the talapia, the effects started to diminish, though I still feel very focused and elaborated. I wanted to try another dose for a good kick, but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. Stay tuned!Over the years of training, eating, lifting, running, supplementing, shaping and even abusing my body, an axiomatic truth that I have often failed to grasp, but perhaps am on the verge of acquiring, is that desire without discipline will never, ever produce the fruits of joyous success.

Well that's a good sign for the first dose. Just as an FYI I think it's best to dose it once a day for the most part. Eating afterwards does seem to reduce the phase 1 effects to some degree but you should feel relaxed for quite awhile.
If you like feel free to take 1 cap followed by another 15 mins later or go up to 2 at once tomorrow.

Yeah it was my birthday and I wanted to give the party dose a shot. The first phase was intense! I could hardly walk and like I said previously, my face was completely numb. There was a little tingling effect too, kind of similar to the effect of eaa's. After the initial "buzz" faded away, I was completely focused on the basketball game...shouting, screaming, talking strategy...People were asking how I got drunk so fast...
I have yet to try PEA pre-workout, so I think i'll be dosing 750mg before my back workout today.

As for my workout, I seemed to have a little more energy. I almost felt like I'd taken a stimulant. I want to try 1500mg preworkout... as anyone tried this?Over the years of training, eating, lifting, running, supplementing, shaping and even abusing my body, an axiomatic truth that I have often failed to grasp, but perhaps am on the verge of acquiring, is that desire without discipline will never, ever produce the fruits of joyous success.

For 1 day to try it I think you will live. I did lol. Remember your body metabolizes it quite fast. Within an hour or so of the first dose there is no more PEA left in your systems.
Trust and judge yourself with the doses you've taken if you don't feel comfortable then don't do it.Last edited by CognitiveNutrition; 11-07-2008 at 10:10 PM.

I have done over 3-4+ grams of PEA in a day multiple times, with alcohol before, with Theanine, 5htp, l-Dopa, all kinds of stuff
trust me you will live as Steve said your body metabolizes it super fast. I believe I read on wikipedia that the half-life is about 10 minutes
what I do have to try though is pairing up a low dose of PEA with a MAO-B inhibitor
if you wanna go to a party and feel great but aren't in the mood to drink (just not feeling it or don't want to ruin your BB gains) then just bring a baggie with 4-5g of PEA and dose that over the night i have never kept laughing randomly in one night ever before...Last edited by Squat2Grow; 11-07-2008 at 08:55 PM.

Just walked in from an extremely hot date. I took 4500mg throughout the evening. I took two around 9, two more around 1030, and two at midnight. Let's just say the night was fun. I only had one beer and I didn't feel the need to keep drinking (which is good for me).
I was deadset on going home with her. Definitely more so than on usual dates. When the date was closing and it sounded like she wanted to call it a night, I pulled some **** out of my arse and persuaded her to continue the partay .
I didn't feel the inital first phase buzz that I usually do.. perhaps I should cycle off for a couple days. CN, do you think it would be harmful to increase the dosage to 7-8 caps in an evening?Over the years of training, eating, lifting, running, supplementing, shaping and even abusing my body, an axiomatic truth that I have often failed to grasp, but perhaps am on the verge of acquiring, is that desire without discipline will never, ever produce the fruits of joyous success.

I'm sure you don't want to be the first one to find out. Any compound can be taken in a high enough dose to cause problems that dose varies on the person. I generally recommending taking the lowest effective dose after you've done your trial and error experimenting with it.

The higher doses you take the more days I would suggest cycling off.
I don't think you felt a buzz in part due to the doses (probably abit too low) and time apart you took them. In order to feel a buzz you need an significant increase in PEA in your system and to maintain that with closer timed doses (15-30 mins).
I would suggest taking r-lipoic acid 100 mg if you're planning to go over 4 caps. Harmful? Ehh not more so than a few drinks. But daily I don't think that's wise.
I would be very curious how well you sleep and what your dreams are like.www.cognitivenutrition.com

Actually I didn't fall asleep until 5am, but my sleep was excellent. I woke up at noon feeling great and made a delicous homeade mcmuffin I don't recall any dreams, though...
Why do you suggest r-lipoic acid?
I'm going to try 1500mg 15 minutes apart before workout today. And I won't be taking another dose until Wednesday. will report backOver the years of training, eating, lifting, running, supplementing, shaping and even abusing my body, an axiomatic truth that I have often failed to grasp, but perhaps am on the verge of acquiring, is that desire without discipline will never, ever produce the fruits of joyous success.
