While mucuna definitely helps me, it also seems to make me feel a bit tipsy, spacey, and slow..anyone else experience this ?

I'm on Banyan Botanical organics mucuna 500 mg 3-7% tablets which I chew. I usually take 1 , 4x a day more as needed. They work fast.

For me it is the exact opposite. I am slow without it and speedy with it.

Yes, it reduces the severity, but it's still there. I take more, or less depending on the situation. For instance last night I joined relatives for a fun dinner at a restaurant and took 6-8 mucuna tablets between 4 & 8 pm. A usual night at home wd have been 1 or 2.

I have been taking mucuna for 8 weeks and have to take it before bed as it makes me extremely tired. I was sitting at work when I tried it in the morning and, boom, I fell asleep.😴 I take 1 tsp. Sun Potion Mucuna 15% l-dopa.
