How do you guys find your mood is affected by stimulants? I’m not talking about coke, dope, etc but simply caffeine, ephedrine and others such as these. I myself find that my mood is usually massively elevated by these substances. When talking about this i’m also trying here to distinguish between a simple increase in energy and a genuine “shift” in your outlook/paradigm or whatever you want to call it. I find that when I take a a high dose caffeine/ephedrine/tyrosine stack I become mildly euphoric, have a more positive outlook on life and feel very sociable. Normally when in the gym I don’t like to talk to people but when i’m in this “state” I have a strong desire to start random conversations with strangers, smile at people etc.
Yes OP, I get all those feelings out of caffeine. Mildly euphoric, etc. But I pay for it later. Meaning the next day I’ll be mildly withdrawn and lathargic without it. You don’t get something for nothing. At least, I don’t.
