One of the things that we write and read the most about on this forum is the supposed addictiveness of PM.
A few days ago I took 1000mg all at once (Ainterol's) instead of 500, and a few physical responses came to me stronger than usual. It's nothing new, I always feel them with PM, but with more PM they are stronger, so I am starting to wonder if there is something in it that goves an actual chemical "high" to the body.

I can only describe this "high" with:
1) a feeling of dry throat, as if I ate a dry cracker
2) a smell of iron in my nose. As if my nose was bleeding (same smell)
3) a sense of warmth at the back of my throat
4) a feeling of light-head for about 10 mintes

They all kick in, in this order, about 5 minutes after I've swallowed the caps.

So, it's not really a "pleasure high" like you can get with some more or less legal (depending on the country) drugs. But it's more like a "familiar feeling" that always comes with taking PM.

I am not saying that this is what causes addiction, but knowing that PM does something more immediate than releasing oestrogens in your body could be a starting point. Then, all drugs act on some hormone receptors so I am sure that the fact that we want to go back has more to do with that, but it would be nice to know if the 4 effects that I mentioned are familiar to anyone else.

Thank you

No, I never had that experience with Ainterol's PM.  I've taken up to 1,500 mg at once and never had such symptoms.

Never had these experiences yet either, but im on a lower dosage so.

Kinda sounds like an allergic reaction.

I never had those symptoms. I would get really tired if I took two capsules at the same time, but that's about it.

I've never had anything like that, but then again I've never taken that much in one go. The most I can take is 2x500mg twice a day. More than that and I get the headache from hell.

I've never had anything like that to me. 

[ukxdress]

Nothing like that with me either.

Don't post much but yeah that sounds like a mild allergy or possible it's in your head (not to be mean or dismissive but the brain is damn powerful). 5 min isn't really long enough for stuff to be acting systemically but  it could be enough to trigger an allergy. Consider opening a cap, and mixing it into a paste and applying some to your forearm/underarm and see if it reacts.

I’m getting a headache from just 1x 500mg per day. Also get a hot flush.  ?

I can’t reduce the dose lower than that. The ainterol pills only come in 500mg caps!

Am I just too ‘open’ to the power of PM or is my T/DHT fighting back? Any ideas welcome...
