Out of all the Peat recommended things, coffee continues to be the thing which helps me the most. It is the only thing which removes emotionality and depression, decreases bloat and "estrogenic signs", improves muscle tone and hardness, and which makes me feel more "manly" (androgenic effect?)
I have tried pretty much all the "Peat" supplements, like aspirin, pregnenolone, progesterone, DHT, theanine, thiamine, thyroid, magnesium, cyproheptadine, antibiotics, niacinamide, methylene blue, Vitamins A,D,E,K, etc. and none of them even come close to the effects of coffee. All the supplements also have some bad side-effects for me, which coffee doesn't have.
In high doses, coffee does provoke a bit of anxiety and such, but I would rather have a little anxiety and be functional, than to be non-functional and "calm".
Are there any *safe* supplements or approaches out there which are similar to coffee? (I realize that coffee does many different things, like being anti-serotonin, anti-NO, pro-androgenic, etc. so it may be hard to pin-point exactly what coffee does that normalizes my body so much. But, I have tried many specific drugs, like anti-serotonin cyroheptadine, anti-NO tetracyclines, etc. and their effects don't compare to coffee at all. In fact, many of the supplements seem to do the opposite of coffee, making me more emotional, depressed, bloated, so forth. There must be something unique about the coffee)
(Maybe @haidut can chime in, I know he has a lot of experience with caffeine and many other supplements)
