I was a part of a group of people who obtained and took ISRIB a year ago. We made contact with another group from the Baltic’s who had a chemist in their ranks who had already synthesized and taken it, before we took delivery of ours.

The most important thing I learned is that you form a tolerance to it. At least that’s what the experiential effects indicated.

One person took it and developed heart rhythm problems.

Another person took it and became full of energy. Some people reported being much smarter and being able to socialize at a much higher level than before. Some people said they had hyper realistic dreams and compared it to schizophrenia. There were many stories but I can’t remember them all. I’m the end nobody took it long term.

The NMR results made it clear that everyone was taking pure ISRIB and not some adulterant.

One person said he gave it to his grandmother with Alzheimer’s and it made her better but she died shortly afterward. Some people said this is normal and it was a coincidence. We don’t know.

I never took it because right before we had secured a supplier I had a bad reaction to another experimental drug which has given me a permanent injury.
