Right on man!Yeah, thankfully I haven’t had to experience any significant mental issues very often in the past 15 years or so. Though I have gone through 2-3 subsequent episodes. Overall, that’s pretty darn good though..
You know me, I have taken just about everything under the sun for supplements, including those in this product in one form or another- and vitamins we normally obtain from the sun. I have never had any issues with med reactions that I am aware of. I am only on 10mg Prozac...so very little. I will still be picking this up though because I feel that my occasional relatively mild anxiety could still potentially benefit. I’d imagine I will be placing an order for it within a week or so..
Yup, small talk is for the birds. In fact I’d rather talk to birds than participate in small talk...

Awesome really appreciate the input broYou'd be wise to keep this thinking moving FWD, when my kids were born (25 and 22 years ago) we opened Fidelity 529 savings plans, one for each kid. Those, plus putting extra money into a separate "college" savings account over the years, we were able to pay for both kids colleges w/out loans, right out of pocket. (250K over 6 years they attended (they overlap in age) would have been disastrous w/ loans for ages. Youngest just graduated (oldest did a couple years ago) and it feels good that no loans were needed. Highly suggest talking to a financial person whenever you can.
Probably is the culprit, I hate that feeling but I find once I get to the gym I’m usually good to go. Seems like those days I usually have some of my best workouts ironicallyI did 2 grams of Cordyceps and 1.75 scoops of Prolific preworkout so about 280 mg of caffeine 45 mins ago. I am not motivated at all to workout. Maybe too much l-theanine since it’s in both S&A and Prolific? 225mg of l-theanine is a lot before a workout.
I think so too. I haven’t used Prolific since started S&A. It’s not very often I get this feeling of not wanting to workout. It is one of my favorite things to do.Probably is the culprit, I hate that feeling but I find once I get to the gym I’m usually good to go.

Man I miss the glory days of PES haha. If you’re looking for a pump I’ve really enjoyed vasoblitz, fullblitz seems nice too if you don’t mind the BA tingles and a bit of Y. Haven’t bought a stim pre since conqu3r unleashed though since I work out at night for the most part. Off days I usually just do focus xt and a bit of extra caffeineI think so too.

I may have to just throw out Prolific since it’s just a mediocre pre anyway haha
Maybe but not necessarily. Some of the studies on Theanine being synergistic w caffeine used 200 mg of Theanine. I think 200+ mg in one dose could have a very relaxing effect for some but the caffeine could offset it for some too.I did 2 grams of Cordyceps and 1.75 scoops of Prolific preworkout so about 280 mg of caffeine 45 mins ago.

I know the studies on l-theanine and caffeine. I also know from personal experience that a high dose of l-theanine blunts all stimulation for me. I can do low dose theanine like in S&A. I think it’s dosed perfectly in that product.Maybe but not necessarily. Some of the studies on Theanine being synergistic w caffeine used 200 mg of Theanine.

Wouldn't be surprised if that was the poblem. My caffeine limit is about 100 mg. However, with 200 mg of l-theanine I have to take 300+ mg of caffeine to feel anything (and even then there's still a lack of motivation). I really like that this product only has 50 mg of l-theanine per capsule. For me, that's the perfect dose for daytime use.I did 2 grams of Cordyceps and 1.75 scoops of Prolific preworkout so about 280 mg of caffeine 45 mins ago. I am not motivated at all to workout.

I still experience those issues in social situations or giving presentations at work. No amount of practice or experience has improved it. Keep going back to a low dose of zoloft to help...just don't like the side effects. Really hope this product allows me to drop it for good this time.That is valuable information..
I had severe social anxiety growing up, I was actually held back in first grade because of it! As if that helped anything...ha! That was in the 80’s though, so I would hope that is not common practice in schools nowadays. My social anxiety continued up through my college years, and it really took a significant mental toll on me. It’s a very lonely existence when you feel you can’t fit in with your peers because of SA. I finally requested to be prescribed Paxil by my PCP....and it did help tremendously for awhile. Still, I think going untreated all those years largely contributed to my very severe GAD and depression I developed after a series of acute events when I was 27..
I have been on Prozac and Klonopin ever since that time, and have been mostly stable. Despite this, I feel that my SA has naturally gotten better as I get older, and more bitter. I have definitely started to care less what other people think of me without even thinking about it. Sometimes I even shock myself (and often others) with the things that I say out loud, yet I am still not a fan of “small talk” - it just doesn’t interest me. I have definitely come out of my shell though...haha!
I still have to take a beta blocker though if I am to do a presentation at work. Again, much mental trauma growing up in school when I had to do oral presentations. I would sweat profusely, feel like my heart was beating out of my chest, face beet red, and my throat would close up to the point that I was gasping out the words. Horrible experience..
PeakO2 (or just Cordyceps if elrock’s observations are true for everyone)You want a great stim free pre? Is that what you just said?
Better than nothing! No zero days is the best mentality. Wish I had somewhere to put equipment at home, you have a pretty decent set up?I eventually did the workout. I wasn’t 100% in to it, but that’s alright I got through it. I chose not to go to the gym. I just did a workout at the house.
6 sets DB (lightweight) squats-each set to exhaustion.
6 sets DB Lunges- each set to exhaustion.
6 sets DB calf raises- each set to exhaustion.
Legs are on fire now! Endurance was good.
I hope it helps as well. For presentation anxiety specifically, Propanolol or Atenolol are magic. Neither have given me any acute side effects either. I only use it like once every month or two. Great confidence builder, even though you knew you took a drug to get there. Some people gain enough confidence after using a beta blocker for presentations that they end up being able to drop it altogether.I still experience those issues in social situations or giving presentations at work. No amount of practice or experience has improved it. Keep going back to a low dose of zoloft to help...just don't like the side effects.

Totally respect that. If you follow my posts, I’m probably the all time biggest proponent of different things working different for different people.I know the studies on l-theanine and caffeine. I also know from personal experience that a high dose of l-theanine blunts all stimulation for me. I can do low dose theanine like in S&A. I think it’s dosed perfectly in that product.
I know the higher dose of Theanine with caffeine is popular and some love it. I am just not one of them.
I hope so as well. It’s helped me out tremendously.I still experience those issues in social situations or giving presentations at work. No amount of practice or experience has improved it. Keep going back to a low dose of zoloft to help...just don't like the side effects. Really hope this product allows me to drop it for good this time.
Huh? What? HahaI have issues with doses of Theanine as well. Definitely not a fan of it in pre-workouts but I guess I can kind of see the reasoning behind it.
Oh, and a non stim pre-workout!?
Exactly man, it was better then nothing. Like usual I felt better for doing it afterwards.Better than nothing! No zero days is the best mentality. Wish I had somewhere to put equipment at home, you have a pretty decent set up?
Ah yeah screw that humidity haha I wouldn’t want to workout in there either. Doesn’t sound like a bad setup aside from that though. Wish I had more equipment myself, really just resistance bands and a stair climber. I want to buy a power tower but don’t really have anywhere to put it.Exactly man, it was better then nothing. Like usual I felt better for doing it afterwards.
I have decent equipment at me house. I have a DB set that goes from 8lbs up to 45lbs. I have a Universal Smith Machine for bench press, squats, etc. there is a high cable for pull downs, etc and a low cable for curls, etc. There is the attachment to do leg curls and leg extensions and even preacher curls. The thing is it is in my garage and I live in Florida. It is so hot most of the year it’s a tough ass workout in there. I prefer to just go to the gym haha
Yo that set up sounds great! Except for the whole garage thing. Still nice to have right at your home for less excuses not to get a workout in.My garage set up is pretty epic (power rack, yolk, sleds, bike, rower, climbing rope, rings, a few different bars and all sorts of weights of various implements)......but I still just go to the gym to lift most of the time haha
It’s nice to have to when I want it though! I recently moved and I did use it pretty much exclusively in my last place of residence.
Sorry to hear about anxiety issues and the divorce. I would definitely recommend this product to you. Don’t expect for it to feel like phenibut though. For me this product doesn’t have much of a “feel” to it. It simply prevents anxiety and lowers stress. For me it has been incredible at doing that. Now I feel more in the moment with my kids and during conversations.Glad to hear some positive feedback. Thank you for sharing with us. I suffer from such bad anxiety my body shuts down. I've been on prescription xanaax and it's a absolute nightmare. Dont reccomend anyone to take xanaax. I'm off a year now but still suffer anxiety. I never knew how bad anxiety is till I got it . Like some of u guys I was dealing with divorce and my 3 sons.. 6 years later after divorce I'm finally feeling lil better. This supplement I will think about trying. I've tried many o.t.c. anxiety relief and the only thing that helped was phenibut. Although phenibut can be dangerous and addictive. I'm pretty sure it actually is a benzo. I think I'm gonna give sns a try.
Do you typically take it on an empty stomach? I'm curious if taking it with food would impact the results.I took my second cap of the day at 11:15-11:30am.
I have done it both ways. It continues to work for me regardless if I take it with or without food. I will start mentioning that in my posts if it is with a meal or before. Since, these ingredients are not known to cause GI issues I would start it on an empty stomach first.Do you typically take it on an empty stomach?

I'm not telling you this in any way to try to sell you on the product - I'm saying this in case you do decide to use it - some of the ingredients have been shown in clinical studies to improve memory as related to stress and anxiety; so given your experience, I would be personally interested to see if you notice an improvement in that. If you don't want to post that, please pm me. I'm just curious as maybe it could help us help others. I've noticed for me, my short term memory as far as forgetfulness has improved quite a bit on the product.Thanks guys. I'm over a year off that. It's a trap drs put u in. U don't realize its addictive till u don't have it. Plus it fries your brain. It should only be given to people with extreme trauma. I cant remember the past few years.
This is great! We have done many trades over the past few years trying to find something that can help with our anxiety. So far this one is doing it for both of us.I have to admit, I was a little leery about trying this supplement since I've had negative effects from 3 of the 4 ingredients - ashwagandha, l-theanine and bacopa (mostly just really tired all day long and an increase in depression). I tried various doses and forms (patented and not patented extracts). Rhodiola I've mainly just tried in the standard 3:1 (rosavins:salidrosides) ratio extract and while it did improve mood, it also increased my anxiety a lot.
However, based on Elrock's review I decided to give it a shot (I've noticed we respond similar to a lot of supplements/nootropics). I've only taken it twice so far (yesterday afternoon and this morning) but so far I'm impressed. I do get a little lethargic for the first hour or two but after that it goes away (I'm assuming that's when the rhodiola really kicks in). What I notice so far is an absence of anxiety (which is pretty much 24/7 for me) and a boost in mood at about the 2/2.5 hour mark. Two things that really showcased the effects were my calm drive to and from work (daily traffic really stresses me out and I tend to be an aggressive driver as a result) and when my wife caught me happily humming the tune to gilligans island while cleaning the kitchen/doing dishes last night (I hate cleaning and never hum/sing due to terrible voice). I even calmly laughed it off when my sick toddler ripped his dirty diaper off and dropped it in the middle of the family room floor.
All of this is very abnormal for me...especially so soon after taking a supplement as I tend to either have no reaction or a negative reaction to pretty much everything. I really hope these results continue.
Man, you aren't kidding. We've tried a lot of stuff over the years for anxiety.This is great! We have done many trades over the past few years trying to find something that can help with our anxiety. So far this one is doing it for both of us.
Have you found a cheap place online to get those shots? I tried making my own yerba mate tea yesterday but it just wasn't the same (even with what should have been equivalent caffeine content)....I took my second cap of SAS at noon today on an empty stomach. I am eating lunch now 12:30pm. I am going to take a RTD Yerba mate shot (140mg caffeine) before starting back up at 1pm.
In your situation, I think that seeing a counselor is a great thing, especially if its a good counselor. I think that Stress & Anxiety Support will help, but in your case it would definitely just be one piece of the overall puzzle. If you do use it, if you do a log please send me a link. If you don't do a log, still feel free to pm me and let me know how it helps and if you have any questions.I would like to try the product and I can do some kind of log of how I'm feeling. I don't know if I'm the best subject cause anxiety and neurological diseases run in my family. My anxiety would be so bad my body shuts down. So I said f it and took xanax but I know the evil now and would never want to go through it again. It just makes you forget the **** u have to do that was causing u the anxiety. I found going to a counselor helped me most. I not only will be taking the supplement but will be starting exercise full time serious also. So I'm sure I will feel benefits from many things.
Not really. Amazon’s 12 pack is the cheapest I have found. It’s still over $3 bucks for the shot.Have you found a cheap place online to get those shots? I tried making my own yerba mate tea yesterday but it just wasn't the same (even with what should have been equivalent caffeine content)....
