Welcome literaturelover! To answer your questions: 1. I have not noticed any dependency…in fact I’ve been stingy with mine even though I’ve had good experiences. It almost seems like a privilege to wear them sort of thing. 2. Side effects…well first off, IS will leave you a bit tired (increasingly so which each spray added) The next morning you will be groggy…I suggest plenty of fluids, and a good nights sleep after playing with IS for a good amount in a day. 1 or 2 sprays shouldn’t be too noticeable…but when you get upwards of 3 sprays of IS, things get dreary afterwards. With IO, I personally felt a little spaced at first…and not as much so with IH. Check out my journal for details if you’re interested in knowing more about my experiences: [Extreme Self Make-Over: Pheromone Edition](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/extreme-self-make-over-pheromone-edition/49831) 3. Sanity is subjective 😉 I consider myself in the same mental state as before starting [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/). While you are on them…whether it is placebo or not…you WILL feel a different mentality…but not deranged sort of thing…kind of like an alter ego (not schizo or personality disorder type of thing…just an altered sense of viewpoint) In terms of others’ sanity…thats what this forum is for…reporting how others react. But in terms of becoming insane…that isn’t going to happen with mones. I mean…maybe if you’re changing your signals all the time with new mone mixes daily in high doses…they will be confused at most…and probably disassociate with you if anything…not become insane! 4. Start out with the socials…in any order you want really. I started with IO testing, then went on to IH testing. If you want **quantity** of conversation do IO first, if you want **quality** of conversation go IH. IS, in my opinion doesn’t need too much testing involved…and can be your first product if you’re looking for a less-effort beginning to mones. Finding your sweet spot with that product is basically just adding the most sprays you can before you feel too tired the next day. You have experience some tired mornings before you find your sweet spot of this stuff. Good luck, hope that helped! --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/hola/50127)._
