What are the most common mistakes with DSIP?
The most common DSIP mistakes are expecting it to work like a sedative (it doesn't sedate, it shifts architecture); trying once and giving up, give it a week; stacking with too many sleep aids and crediting DSIP for everything. Most issues people run into come down to protocol and expectations, not the compound itself. Going in informed matters here because human evidence for DSIP is limited.
