Greeting folks, Although new to this forum I am not exactly new to the pheromonal world having ordered A314 and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) from here about 2 years ago. I noticed some odd results about A314 that I would like to discuss that may be related to self-hypersensitivity to pheromones. I never used more than 1-3 drops and it achieved the subtle effects that people are looking for in others I noticed that it had a more pronounced negative effect on myself. I have always been self-confident but generally very anti-social yet friendly to individuals; I found that A314 inspired respect from others yet made me edgy and ready to rip a throat out but not directed at anyone…a weird, disturbing feeling. Could I possibly be self-ODing from the small doses? I suspect that I was already producing adequate pheromones (although 31) and the A314 tipped it into the negative terrain. On the otherhand, Instant Openness had a very positive self-effect and it inspired good conversations where otherwise nothing might have been said. It even seemed to have a euphoric effect on myself and others like the good words just bubble to the surface. I found myself just using IO and shying away from the A314 and that seemed to be best for me. Well that is my story. Also, I am a chemist and generally interested in all things molecular and biological so that sort of led me here. I also just placed an order for some more IO and am going to try Ammo and TUTH for kicks. Glad to join, berylman 🙄 ---

Welcome to the board. Maybe instant gentleman would have been a better fit than the A314, not sure. I really like the chatty effects of the openess and honesty. have fun with ur tests 🙂 ---

Hi berylman, I think it’s a good idea to think of pheros as supplements; if you’re already self-confident and in-charge, A314 may not benefit you as much as the softer or more exuberant social mixes. [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) is a good call; I’d also recommend MX105 (a more fun, social variant of A314). Even heavy doses of 'nols like Instant Honesty 4x might be worth a try. Does Instant Shine do anything for you? I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up crossing over and experimenting at some point with the more female identified ones like TAL and TAH, and feminine mixes like MX135 - simply because they will expand your palette and the kind of responses (and self-effects) you’ll get. Carrie edit- forgot to mention that the way you responded to A314 reminds me of how I responded wearing Instant Sexiness A (at least at first) … not good! that’s when I realized it was all about complementing my own personality/signature, not matching or amplifying it. ---

Hello and welcome to the forum. You’ll have some fun with [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), it’s a fun product to try out. While AMMO is a branch on a different tree it’s also fun to use. Good luck on your tests 🙂 ---

Thank you all for the feedback, this is a great forum I can tell. I am agreeing with Carrie to view the [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) as supplements to what we already have going to cover deficiencies. In my case I project a strong yet unapproachable self so the more social mixes should be the way to go for me. I will heed the advise of the elders. 😃 ---

Hello Welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 Excellent post by Carrie (reps) 😃 I used to have trouble with the way TAH made me feel. I learned to offset it though so I can still use the molecule without getting that ditzy vulnerable feeling. Have you tried using the IO and the A314 together ? I suggest getting some Ishine to use to offset that hostile feeling you get with the A314. If you have questions just ask. We look forward to hearing from you in the forum **Your GC is on its way 😉** Tisha
