Positive After Effects:
However, I now have a stronger working memory and mental bandwidth than ever before. I can work on 3-4 things in my head at once without loosing track of things. I used to lose thoughts or things I wanted to say when someone else was still talking. I would interupt people here and there to make sure I didn't forget what I wanted to say, Now I can hold my response to like 10 key points of what they said and keep it in my working memory until I need to use it. It's completely unprecedented, and a lot of the increased analytical abilities that I get while on 2c-i are still present which is great for debates and reading philosophy/social theory. I also did go through a cold analytical stage during the start of these symptoms for about 3 months or so - I ended up getting out of a relationship I was in for 5 years - which was a good thing - but I really had no emotional down period like I usually would after breaking up. Apathy became a lot stronger in areas, where Analytical thought took over. This disapeared after a couple months though, and was only quasi-influential in my day to day life.
One of the biggest helps to harnessing the left over positive effects was taking between 500mg - 1,000mg of L-tyrosine a day, which really helps keep this faster mental state running all day, without feeling burnt out mid day from 'Overactivity?'. Anyone having issues from 2C-I should definitely try the amino acid L-Tyrosine, which is the precursor for Dopamine and Norephinephrine.
No one is saying, stay away from all 2C's, however the adverse effects that are clearly attributed to 2C's from different users should be expressed and shown to the public and considered by those new to the substances. YMMV. This isn't yellow Journalism, I've had great times on 2C-I and Shrooms. For the first 2 years - multiple times I wished I could go back to before I did 2c-I and have done LSD instead. However, now that the negative effects are dying down 2 1/2 years later - many of the positive effects are still there, so I guess I'll use this new state of analytical perspective to aid me in areas of my life and work. I was planning on taking 2C-C, 2C-D, 2C-T2 before this horrible episode - but now I don't think I will be engaging with 2C's in the future.

Others who had the same Issues:
I thought it would be helpful to put together a list of other members going back to 2004, who have experienced the same after effects as me. This stimulant bodyload / jumpy or electric jolts that seem to spasm randomly. Here are "some" of the posts I could quickly put together of others reporting the same thing. I know this doesn't mean everyone will experience it, but it does show I'm not the only one with these specific adverse after effects - that luckily dissipate after 2 1/2 years or so.

"My stimulation got REALLY bad after 2C-I for a long time too... Interesting."
(theghostofbillhicks):
At first I felt 2c-i to be diet -LSD. And then I realised that it had a shredding, ripping quality. It's rough. It's tweaky. I had strange electrical currents jolting through my system for months, and I developed an odd twitch. All gone now. All definitive, objective prognosis on the physical effects of 2c-i are mere speculation.
(theghostofbillhicks):
2c-i left me, and many others on this board, with residual effects. Mine manifested as electric currents coursing round my body, and the odd bout of muscular shaking. I’ve noticed some persisting muscle tremors (My maximum dose was under 25mg) . The weird pains and muscle spasms just don't make me feel the love. Lets all just hope these side effects are only short term disturbances.
