SPIKE: The Peer Reviews

Anyone notice any appetite supression while taking SPIKE. As an amphetamine fan i know that things like adderal, ridalin, and dexadrine, make eating a little lower on your list of priorities.

I have had no appetite suppression to speak of, but then again, I have been on 4-AD-EC as well for the past two weeks and my hunger is constant.

I’ve been really frikkin’ tired all day, so I wanted to see if SPIKE would still be able to help me focus or remove that feeling of being tired. I only took one (as per label recommendations), and while I find that I still feel like I’m going to fall asleep, I’m a little better able to focus THROUGH that. I’ll give it another couple of days at one pill a day, and then I’ll take it up to two and see what happens.

I hope mine arrives tomorrow; I can’t wait for Sunday morning’s workout. The posts on this thread are so uniformly glowing that I’d have to say SPIKE goes beyond Biotest’s usual level of excellence. I’ll be back in a couple days to jump in with my experience.

Anyone else care to comment on this?

Had my first single dose at 8 am this morning with mixed results.

Pros - I felt a certain ‘clarity’ in my head about 20 min after taking the cap. I’ve got ADD, and while SPIKE hasn’t given me a ‘laser beam’ focus, I’ve noticed I’m more aware of things I need to do rather than have my thoughts scattershot around.

Con - What I haven’t felt yet is the energy upswing everyone else is talking about. In fact, I could probably do with a nap.

This being said, I took two grams of GABA for the past two nights and while I got a restful sleep, I find I’m still tired throughout the day (even with a cup of coffee and a serving of Power Drive at 1 PM today). Didn’t have this before GABA so I’m thinking of upping the dosage to 5 grams or cutting it out completely for a bit.

Anyone have any similar experiences with GABA?

Anyway, I’m planning on taking two Spike caps tomorrow and seeing the effect. The mental clarity is still ‘on’ at the moment so I’m waiting to see how two caps will affect me.

An idea for anyone with ADD & trying SPIKE is to mention their ADD so we (and Biotest) can get an informal idea of how it works on people like us.

3 day on SPIKE…
first day (@2 pills in morning)= seemingly nice head ‘hum’ and sharp focus all day…
however much less noticable effects 2nd day…
Today…frankly I was not aware of any discernable difference…(PERHAPS a little more awake than normal)
I WISH I had more to report.

It’s not quite ritalin, but it is far better than straight caffeine. Straight caffeine stimulates my nervous system but makes me wide eyed and drowsy at once. It also makes me throroughly nauseous. SPIKE though had only modest appetite suppressing effects, void of most of the nausea I usually associate with stimulants. The assessment of it as being “clean burning” seems acurate. I took it (one) after I got home from work- the day it arrived- and it cleaned my apartment as well as my car. I felt wired, but not in the taxing sort of way in which the crash can be seen coming several hours in advance. In fact I felt no crash-- I went to sleep as it wore off-- but I need more experience. I think I’ll have one right now.

More Stimutacs…

3rd day on SPIKE.

My workouts have been incredible. And the effects are even better if you get a full 8 hours of sleep, take SPIKE, workout, then drink Power Drive for CNS recovery.

Maybe it’s all placebo effect (i can hear TC and Tim cringing) but fuck if it doesnt work for me. This is a godsend, just intime for spring practice.

Thank you so much T-Nation and Biotest

On what Steeljack wrote:

Maybe you don’t experience the energy upswing because your are ADD. Let me give you an example. Back in my drug days coke and amphetamines were my drugs of choice. I had several freinds into both. One freind in particular was ADD and when he did coke it didn’t make him energetic or talkative like it does to so many other people. It just made him balanced he would just sit there in a very focused state. When he was not on coke however he could not shut up. So maybe those with ADD or ADHD will get a different sort of feeling than those of us who dont’ have these disorders.

Well, my SPIKE also made it through customs. Woohoo!

I’m on the single dosage and will report in a while after I’ve got more experience with it.

bumping this for everyone’s benefit

I took Spike on Saturday, and again today(Monday). I took just one dose, first thing in the morning each day. I got a bit of the jitters about 30 minutes after consumption. This did not last long, however, and afterward I was “in the zone”.

Right now it is about 4 hours post-consumption and I don’t notice any negative side effects. I had one hell of a workout this morning, and I notice a greater ability to express myself. Not that I sound more intelligent, it just doesn’t take as long to pull up the words I’m looking for.

While I don’t notice a sense of euphoria, I do notice that I’m not as upset about having to go to work later as I usually am, haha.

I will continue one pill for the rest of the week, and see what happens. Maybe I’ll up the dose next week.

Just my two cents…

Fourth day using SPIKE, for the purpose of not wasting it I didn’t take any yesterday since it wasn’t a training or gpp/cardio day. Felt kind of groggy and flat all day, though no oversleeping.

Took two this morning since it’s a workout day and made a point of it to take them with water only and nothing else. I usually been taking them with my morning Grow! shake. Waited until 45 minutes after taking SPIKE to have the shake. On the walk to work this morning I was moving pretty swift and was rather upbeat.

Sitting at my cube today I’ve been constantly thinking about how awesome my workout will be tonight since I’m feeling very amped and pumped. Almost like a hyper kid who feels the need to move just because. However it’s controlable and able to be focused. It’s like a huge battery that can have it’s energy focused at any task and it rocks.

Can’t wait to workout tonight.

Just wanted to throw my experience in the mix.
took 1 on sunday and about 15 minutes later began to feel it. kinda felt like a mild adderal buzz for those who have used it before. the good thing was that there was no grinding of the teeth and i felt like doing things. in light of this i cleaned and worked on rearranging my stock portfolio. pretty productive day as the Spike lasted about 8 hrs.
today i took 2 at noon and then the fun started. very energized all day at work and couldnt wait to get to the gym. i was so focused on every task i tried i even joined a porn site so my “geese feeding” would be easier to accomplish. got to the gym around 7:30 and still flying high. my workout was awesome and now here i sit realizing that the ride is over but there was no crash. freakin’ awesome.

also, i felt in a really good mood all day so i guess the mood enhancement is true for me. i even offered to do things for my boss i never would have in the past. everyone should try this at least once. thanks a million Tim and Biotest.

I recieved my order around 4:30pm last friday and took one by 5. I had more energy than I have had for a while. I was completing projects I had started and set aside I balanced my checkbook (which I never do) and I even cleaned my whole place before forcing myself to go to bed at 7AM Saturday. I can not wait to see what 2 or even 3 caps do to me. Thank you Biotest!!

They should call this the cleaning drug. It is the sole reason why I’m reorganizing my apartment and throwing out as much of what I own as I can.

I shouild get some of this for my wife!

I am sitting here patiently waiting for the Fed-ex guy to show up with my order, I missed him yesterday so I know it’s coming today. I will post my two cents worth as soon as I can.

What are the repercussions of taking the Spike instead of the first HOT-ROX dose? That cuts the HOT-ROX daily intake down pretty low with the single afternoon dose. If I’m trying to lose fat, should I save the Spike for special boost-needing occasions and stick with the HOT-ROX for my regular routine? Thanks, everyone.
