Drank a Matrix this morning

[sumguy]

I downed a Matrix energy drink at 7:30 this morning, and kept my stomach empty until 9:30. I can't say I really noticed any effects. Maybe a little bit. I was tired as hell this morning, so finally at 11:00 I said **** it and took my EC. Being on EC probably interfered with the results somehow, but I was at least expecting something. I think a cup of coffee is stronger. I shook the thing too, to make sure none stuck to the bottom.

Maybe if I didn't drink the Matrix I would've been even more tired?

I guess I'll save the other one for later and give it another chance, but from the ingredient profile, I thought the thing would really kick my ass.

I think we might be having problems with this particular batch, you are the second to have said that and out of all the samples I have been giving out around here, no one hasn't absolutely loved it. It is like crack here, I have people calling me late at night wanting matrix and x-force lol.

I will talk with IBE about it and go over some things with him and maybe see about dumping out this batch and using another. Bear with us on this, it was our first actual mixing that we used for Olympia and that is why the flavor and formula are changing. Try the X-Force pills though, shouldn't be any error there. Take them the same way you took the matrix, empty stomach first thing in morning, then eat a meal.

What level of stimulation should I be expecting? It's been a long week, and I only got 6 hours of sleep last night. I stored it overnight in the refrigerator since I got it last night. I take 100mg caffeine and 24mg ephedrine 3x per day, although a cup of coffee at night still keeps me up so tolerance isn't too bad. I can post a pic of the bottle if that will help any? I might be going on a road trip in the morning, and if I do I'll take the X-Force, but I won't be able to report back until Monday.

For reference, stim-x had a very strong effect, but only for about 4 hours. Amp didn't do much more than caffeine alone. 5mg amphetamine has noticeable effects. 25mg Ephedrine alone doesn't have much of an effect, although the EC does.

Well the funny thing about what you are explaining is we have a lot more active in ours than in stim-x so it doesn't make much sense that the other worked "better". Could have just been that you were overly tired that day or you could have gotten a pill that was underdosed. Not really sure personally, all I can say is to try another sample.

I found the best way for me is to take it right when I wake up, then I eat breakfast 20 minutes later.

I'm talking about the Matrix drink still. I haven't tried the X-Force yet

If you mean me go read that same thread again. I gave the second sample to my GF and she loved it. I posted up a review she gave for it there. I doubt its the batch

Oh gotcha, my B, I have been really busy lately and only commenting on the last couple responses lol. Strange that you are that much of a non responder! Does caffeine from other sources not effect you either? What about ephedra just out of curiousity? Glad your g/f liked it though.

Our active and caffeine work through very different pathways.

I like caffeine. I felt the mild caffeine "buzz" from the matrix which I know dearly just nothing else however. Ephedra itself and not ephedrine woa that stuff makes me super hyper in a bad way. Ephedrine HCL I like more its more controllable and less dirty/harsh feeling for me.

Yea caffeine exerts effect by blocking adenosine and boosting cAMP which I seem to be fine with. I'm guessing your active is a adrenergic beta-antagonist (I'm not sure) which I'm usually very receptive to.
