I just started taking Maca root 3 days ago for energy and libido purposes. I have the powder form of it. So far I have noticed a calm energy that peaks 20 minutes after taking it with subtle effects lasting the rest of the day. And while I have been having memorable dreams ever since I stoppef cyproheptadine in the past. The past 2 nights my dreams have been more vivid. No effect on my libido yet, though.
I'm wondering if any other babblers have tried maca and what was their experience with it? And were there any new effects from it with chronic usage?

I've tried maca several times and found it to be profoundly strong, not in a good way. But that's just me, probably a lyme complication. It felt immediately antidepressant for a day or two, and then turned into a seriously deep dark depression. It all went away within a day of stopping it. It was bad.
I always have cold hands. When I was on it, I had warm hands. That was nice. But the mental effects were intense..

I use maca root for libido purposes. It seemed to work best the first few times I tried it, when it also gave a noticeable euphoric effect that I have not experienced since.
In my experience, even a lot of it is greatly inferior to a 300mg dose of 1:200 tongkat ali extract. I usually take both but I think the tongat ali does the heavy lifting.

Oh and another effect I have noticed is that the redness around my eyes has gone away as well as the burning in my eyes has gone away. This supplement seems to be worth sticking with in my case.
