I bought pyritinol from Ceberal Health over a year ago and never used it. Tody I took 600 mg and in about 30 minutes started to feel like my body was effected. Its been about an hours now and I have feeling very strange!
This feels like low dose MDMA but I am having difficulty with typing, ordering my thoughts, and my appetite is completely killed.
I just read on Reddit that Cerebral Health accidentally sold MDPV as pyritinol and now I'm extremely worried.
Am I supposed to feel these weird effects at 600mg? I read some studies where the participants used 600 and up to 1000. I'm a bit scared. Should I drive to the ER?
My heart is beeting pretty fast as if I was on stimulant. when I toch my arms i notice that I hcant feel them to a small degree. Its hard to type.

Ok. I jumped in my car 10 minutes after writing this and drove to the hospital -- a bad idea, incidentally-- I'm lucky I didn't hit anyone.
I was in the ER for 3 three hours. They took an EKG, urine sample, and blood sample. My heart was beating very fast but not irregular (it passed the EKG test) It was very, very difficult to communicate with anyone, follow basic instructions. I couldn't remember words. When I tried to read smaller text, it because so blurry that I couldn't read it. I was uncoordinated. When in a conversation I repeatedly had to ask "Sorry what were we talking about?". The doctor said I looked like someone on amphetamine. I felt like I was on some type of amphetamine, except that my entire body was very, depressed--my arms became very heavy to lift, and I felt like it would be a good idea to go to sleep but I couldn't keep my eyelids shut. I was also having slight audio and visual hallucenations: seeing daddy long leg spiders crawling and building nests in the ceiling. hearing my radio talk to me when I drove to the hospital when I turned the radio off specifically. The ER asked me for the name of someone to notify incase something goes wrong, I gave the number to my good friend and coworker. Then when I'm on the IV drip, I could clearly here 7 of my coworkers outside in the hallway. They had the same voices and they were talking about me. In otherwords, wh…

While it may be embarrassing, a hassle, and have cost money, it's better to be safe than sorry. You took 100mg more than the guy that went into seizures for months. Luckily you did not have as serious of a reaction as he did. However, if you had gone into seizures, and were alone, it would have been worse. You should NOT have driven yourself, though. Trying to operate a car while in a deleriant trip is very dangerous. Luckily you got there safely. Next time have someone else drive you. Hopefully there won't be a next time.
now I'm going to be relatively scared from trying pyritinol or other nootropics in the future.
It's a shame that this happened. However, it is not surprising. This is what we are trying to change in the community. That is why we have the testing program, and why we make it clear to all vendors the seriousness of the issue. If you are not testing your products, you are endangering the health and safety of your customers. Period. Doug from Cerebral Health should be ashamed of himself.
