So I just got some A1 today and I was wondering if I could just mix it with some IS rather than PA or any other cologne. That way I wouldn’t worry about bringing any IS to reduce the chances of depression. I was thinking about mixing 1ml a1 and 4ml IS. Will that work, or should I just bring some IS with me in case?
It is not a definate that you will feel depressive effects from A1 many users use it without a problem, however Im one of the unlucky few that get the negative self effects and have found that IS is not really a great solution, its only a short term fix because it does’nt last very long, once it has worn off I get the IS crash which often makes the depressive effects much worse.
A better solution for me was to use it in conjuction with Alphanol, IO or straight EST.
I say mix it with PA at either 12.5mcg or 25mcg per spray and carry something mood elavating with you in another to-go just incase.
Yup - I’m another in the same boat and IS was no answer as it is too short acting and repeated topups left me feeling a bit drained. Nols were only slightly better.
The best thing I found was to mix a low dose (@6.25mcg) of A1 in a togo and wear it every day for two weeks solid. Only washing it off when the bad effects were getting in the way of whatever I was doing.
After a few days you begin to get inured to the A1 and can start to increase the dose by adding more sprays. By the end of a couple of weeks, you should be fine and even if you are not afflicted, you will have had an excellent round of intro testing to the stuff.
I will not say that it depressed me but I did try it over 50mg and honestly I just felt ick, not depressed, but not excited either, I have been only wearing it occasionally and apply it to the back of my neck and my wrists and have stayed to 30mg. I guess I could see if I could build up tolerance slowly, but honestly I only wear it certain times and occasions anyway. Best of luck with your journey into A1 land.
As of this week I’ve been playing around with a1 and I love it!
Im using 25mcg of a1 mixed with 2x instant shine. I’ve been using several sprays a day without any feelings of depression. My a1 and p83 is pretty much all I use now.
