5‑Amino‑1MQ Late‑Day Dose and My Insomnia – Any Light?

Posted by greg208 in Safety & Side Effects - 1 points, 0 comments.

I started 5‑Amino‑1MQ about six weeks ago at 50 mg each morning and 50 mg in the late afternoon. The first couple of days I felt a mild GI ache and a slight headache that only went away after a full night’s sleep. By week four I noticed that taking the second dose after 3 pm seemed to keep me wide awake well into the night – agresively so, I’ll be honest.

I’m 42, ran a full training block last month and still feel the same tiredness at the end of the day. I’ve tried moving the second dose to 10 am, but then the afternoon energy dip is real. Does anyone else see that correlation?

I’ve also read that 5‑Amino‑1MQ can increase NAD+ and might affect circadian rhythm; would a split dose or a lower dose in the evening′s help? I’m keen on it for the metabolic benefits but want to keep the sleep pattern intact. Any tips or observations?
