As I had said before in some posts. There is something seriously wrong with my head. To be more specific I have Bi-Polar Disorder Type 1 (with Psychosis) =X. In a nutshell, I’m bat-shit crazy. My disorder has been bad enough for me to be ‘institutionalized’.

Now my question is, is it bad for me to use pheromones? I mean, nothing bad has happened, but I do notice pheromones influence my mood big time. A314 makes me feel very confident and somewhat aggressive. Instant Shine makes me feel good. [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/) does make me feel down, but not too depressed. TUTH makes me feel naughty.

I am taking medication to stabilize my mood and I have a physically active life, but I’m wondering if this may affect my mood stability. I feel great, even more so now that I am using the pheromones, but I still need to be careful.

Jesse, in a sense, of course, you are already “using” [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) and there is little you can do about it - I speak of course of your natural pheromone secretions.

But of course I am being pedantic; you want to know about the use of artificially huge doses of artificial pheromones. Well, it seems to me, and with the appropriate disclaimer that I am no medical professional, there is no “comeback” like a hangover or post-drug “crash” that you have to worry about with pheromones. For some, there is a small physical “crash” at the beginning stages of wearing a heavy alpha-androstenol product like IO, but it is just a mild feeling of tiredness. There is no neurological “debt” that has to “paid off” after the self-effects wear off. So they do influence mood, especially during the newbie phase, but they are not to be compared to psychoactive drugs or anything. They are simply chemical copies of things that we all secrete anyway, albeit in megadoses.

What is good for your head though is being treated well by other people around you wherever you go, something that the pheromones can assist with. Of course, you have to be careful with the IFM, and also realise that if you are really not in a fairly good mood to start with, pheromones are not going to be of much use either for the self-effects or in interacting with others. And of course any man has to take care when wearing significant amounts of androstenone, (realising that he has activated his inner caveman & taking care to keep him firmly controlled!). Keep in touch via the forum and continue to file reports. All the best.
