I can’t be 100% sure it’s not just the circumstances, but I have a feeling that IH has a depressing self-effect on me. Didn’t test it a lot yet, but every time I try, I end up with a really shitty mood.
Does anyone encounter effect like that? 
Yes, i used to get upset by Instant Honesty. Try to use it where it doesn’t affect you that much, like the back of the neck and the forearms. I believe one can build a tolerance towards pheromones so nowadays I’m not that affected by Instant Honesty.
Not a usual or normal reaction to either alpha or beta androstenol. At the least, many get a bit of gleeful high. For some it’s total happy sauce. I’ve used androstenols in mind numbing doses and have never experienced a hint of a depression. So I’m guessing it’s just you: maybe a food additive nailed ya. Of course if it happens every time you use it, could be something to it. I strongly suspect you’ll be fine. Otherwise this forum would be filled with depressed posters…
Realize artificial mones are just like the natural ones you’ve been exposed to since birth. Well, the dose is much higher and sometimes that overwhelms/confuses noobs. However you get used to it quickly with regular use. Nothing fazes me. I can swim in friggen happy sauce and be cool as a cucumber.
I agree with gegogi.
The nols are upbeat, fun and chatty normally. IH can be deeper though and make you more connected to your feelings but it doesnt cause the feeling it just makes you notice it. Those feelings were already there.
Spray them to the back of your head or neck so they dont effect you as much.
How much are you using by the way ?

I would say try applying IH to your back or somewhere away from your face. My odd reaction was with Instant Shine it made me sleepy so I put it behind my knees and on my back.Tisha helped me with that a while back when she was still a moderator here. Thank you tisha. 
B-nol or one of the main ingredients in instant honesty kind of brings up whatever is in your subconscious.I’d avoid using the straight b-nol if the buffered version affects you in this manner.
So basically if you’re in a bad situation or having a rough time right now b-nol could be amplifying that feeling or freeing it to the surface.
Im my case a few months back when i was having arguments with my ex-boyfriend and we were still together I’d get angry whenever I wore b-nol.
Sweetie if you’re feeling in the dumps and having a bad time of it right now you might try getting some Instant Shine or some p78. So far p78 seems to be a fairly happy molecule for anyone that tries it.
Also how may sprays are you using and where?
Yeah, I used IH the other day right before I quit my sorority because I wanted them to feel like they could still be comfortable around me. I haven’t had any problems with it at all until yesterday. I was fine about quitting, but after it was all said and done I took the quitting a lot harder then I thought I would. I literally cried…tears running down my face, sobbing. And I’m not one to just straight up cry unless I’ve been broken up with. Especially while I’m driving.
So yeah…I think Electra’s right. It does bring things to the surface. I guess it’s good if you’re guilty of bottling up your feelings.
Oh, thank you ladies! I really see what you mean about IH amplifying feelings - as it is I have an annoying tendency to take insignificant things a little bit too hard. I guess it simply makes sense.
And it’s not just that - in my first report I mentioned that IH even makes me bitchy! It really does. Wow, I need to have a good talk with myself, I sense some deep issues. 
Gegogi, I get somewhat gleeful on IO, which is almost IH, right? That’s why I’m not entirely sure if it’s IH or circumstances - most likely both. And my natural overly dramatic mind. 
I actually try to use pheros moderately - I soooo don’t want to get used to Instant Shine - self-effect is just too wonderful!
tisha23, yes - looking back I can tell how IH made some things at the back of my mind more apparent.
I’m not using much - 1 spray of 2x to my neck. I don’t think I tried more than two sprays at once of any pheros I’ve got. I feel really greedy, too - especially for Instant Shine - just a whiff off a bottle lifts my mood enough, so I’m just sniffing it till my big order comes.
ElectraComplex, I’m definitely going to start putting IH somewhere away from my nose - I think I’m pretty much the only one who gets really affected by that one spray. Couldn’t help it though - the smell of pheromones under neroli is almost addictive. Love it!
I suppose using IH at school isn’t the best choice, but both my targets are there, so… :o
I’m using Instant Shine too - it’s a delight. I had the most wonderful three weeks with it. In fact, I’m astonished. Before, I used to have my mood go from really good to really bad very fast and very drastic - but after I got my first small order, it’s been amazing - with the exception of a couple of times I used IH. Actually, the first time I used it I got really good hit.
Hmm… I’m bit confused, I thought experimental mixes weren’t sold to newbies? Isn’t p78 one of these? I ordered Spaceland(can’t wait!) - and now I would reeeeally like to try p78. 
happykitsune - I’m mostly guilty of being overly dramatic occasionally - IH might just be bringing this part of me out. 
matthie, thanks - certainly need to rethink application points.
Probably the reason I have problems with IH is because I get upset easily, so it amplifies that. I’ve worn it before when I was in a chilled out mood and I felt fine. I’ve worn it other times when I felt alone or got upset about something and it only seemed to get worse :-/. I’ll have to do more testing with this one.
yuppers! This is great info! Im suprised that this is my first time hearing this. It really expains alot! In my Journal I recorded my on my first usage with pheros. I was going to an event where I would see my ex, and I was already super nervous and upset. I was also really sad about a fight with a friend. So I put on 3 sp IS/A and 3 sp IH. WAAYYYY too much for a newbie TO BEGIN with anyways hee hee Long story short, I had to LEAVE the party cause I felt like i was gonna burst into tears (which I did once I got into the car) I dont know, it was like I got a REALLY bad anxiety attack or something! i could NOT stay there with all those ppl I had to get out! Also before I left I ended up in the corner with one of my friends spilling my guts about EVERYTHING that was bothering me! LOL she was very attentive tho. I think that I personally have to save IH for more one-on-one and small groups of close friends situations. Or definitely use AWAY from face.
