Apologies if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find any references to this in the FAQ...
Just want to run through the last couple of weeks leading up to my pre-loading experience...
Just giving the sequence of events before the pre-load experience. All of these events were on the same, good quality pill.
Jeff Mills (March 31) -- Was greedy, took two, 1.5 hrs apart. Very nice 4 hour peak
Mash Up (April 7) -- one week after Jeff Mills. Took one. Nice 3.5 hour peak.
Rewind (April 12) -- 5 Days after Mash Up. Took one, mild 1.5 hour peak.
Elektrick (April 14) -- 2 Days after Rewind. After Rewind, I thought my seretonin might be running out, so I tried pre-loading with 1000mg 5-HTP per day, in four 250 mg doses, on April 13 and again on April 14. I had a very intense, actually a bit too intense for my liking, 2.5 hour peak. This peak didn't feel as 'natural' as the other ones. I enjoyed the afterglow from the peak more than the peak itself.
I haven't been at this very long, first pill at New Year's, once a month after that until the sequence above. I have pre-loaded before, about 200-400mg per day, 2 or 3 days before the event.
I am interested in the variation between the peaks two days apart. I was a bit worried at Rewind that I might be using a little to frequently and that dropping that night would kill the roll at Elektrick. Maybe my mindset that night caused the mild peak??
But I was even more worried at Elektrick that I wouldn't peak at all that night, yet peaked quite hard. So was it the pre-loading that caused the intense peak?? I was talking to someone after my peak about pre-loading, and he claimed that pre-loading tended to increase the intensity, but decrease the duration.
Or was it just a strange combination of things that just caused both nights to be different??
Anyone else have any similar experiences with pre-loading?? I have seen a number of posts where it is claimed that pre-loading doesn't work.
And does anyone know how much 5-HTP the body can covert to seretonin in say a 24h period??
Anyways, I'm on a break for a few weeks after all of that...
