Cognance - no effect
Original post in this thread

Took one pill yesterday and two today, no noticeable effect. Still tired, no noticeable difference in cognition. I'll update this if anything changes. Also, placebo is a strong effect, not sure how much I can trust other's experiences
Edit: Not sure why this is getting downvoted, literally just sharing my initial experience
Update (10 days later): Even after 2-3 pills daily I have no noticeable effects. I see that other people are getting effects so I won't discredit their results, but for me it does nothing.

There is a downvote bot on our sub for a while. Initial posts and comments are hit by it. Not sure who is doing it, but we have done testing to confirm it is happening. It's annoying, but whatever. I wouldn't worry about it. You're up now.
Not everyone is going to react well to Cogance. Anyone expecting otherwise just doesn't understand pharmacology. There is someone on one of the other threads that said they didn't notice low doses of psychedelics, and those are certainly active. Body and brain chemistry is extremely variable. One person getting effects and another not doesn't mean the first was placebo, just like claiming your effects are nocebo wouldn't be appropriate. People are being a bit overzealous posting experiences within hours of taking it the first time, as benefits usually take regular use for a period of time to really assess. I agree with that. People need to give it time, just like every other substance on the planet. Even then, some people are just not going to react, or have side effects. That's okay and expected.
