I'm not usually the one for writing reviews, but my experience with DS Craze has compelled me to share my thoughts.
I'll begin this by saying that I have been a fan of DS for a long time. I have used its supplements for several years with a couple of their products quickly becoming staples. Their supplements are of those few that change my physiology enough to elicit changes in my physique, the best one can hope from anything natural.
Rightly so, I therefore had high expectations. So much so that I purchased its most recent product Craze without reading many of the reviews. I was fatigued of 1,3 products and wanted something different, something cleaner that felt safer. I had been using Scivation product Novum for some time because it lacked heavy duty stimulants and having enjoyed it I was looking out for another pre-work out free from geranium. My experience over the last two days of use has been thus:
Day 1
I took one scoop at 6.00am, 30 mins before a workout. Within 30 mins I could feel the effects coming on and by the time I arrived in the gym I was awake, energised and surprisingly happy. I had a good workout. I enjoyed being in the gym and I remember walking outside feeling I had made the best decision of my life. Here was a product I could not only use in the gym, but it had the potential of improving my life outside. I was a happier person. But then after 3 hours...things began to change, quite significantly.
I started feeling anxious. My heartbeat increase and I was suffering from cold sweats whilst sat at my desk. As time passed, my brain would switch being focus and scattered. I would miss parts of conversations, have to read sentences several times and my vision would momentarily blur. By the end of day, I was tired but stimulated, focused but lacked intelligence caught between spells of feeling happy and extremely anxious bordering on depression. I could feel a contant warm buzz in my brain. This was my state until about 11pm, a full 16 hours after which it subsided and thanking God I drifted off to sleep.
Day 2.
I thought my experience was unusual a one-off. Preparing to give Craze the benefit of the doubt I used a smaller dose, 3/4 of a scoop at 6:00am. Again I felt the rise in energy and mood and like the previous day my workout and travel from the gym was a joy. But again a few hours later I began to suffer. This time however some of the effects weren't as intense, for example the sweats were not as frequent or as intense. But others were worse like the blurry vision and constant loss attention during conversations. But the worst was yet to come....from 10:00pm until 3:00am I lay in bed with my heart pounding through my chest. My anxiety increased and for the first time in my life I was almost overwhelmed and thought I would end up in mental institute. I distracted myself by finding things to do...eventually my body and mind calmed down and I fell asleep at 3.30am....almost 24 hours after taking the dose.
After using it onl for two days I putting the rest in the bin. I only wrote this review to advise people to test this before purchasing it. Its not like other supplements in that you can easily manipulate the dose to suit your needs. For some people like me, this just doen't work well at any dose and side effects are not only unbearable but impact on ever aspect of one's life because it seems as if this supplement alters the architecture of the brain rather ramp up existing neurochemical processes.
