I took that for an entire cycle then the formadol xl afterwards and had great results with weight loss and yes it gives you the Alpha-male feeling. Makes you feel like a teen again. Now as far as any other side effects. Towards the end of my cycle; things that don't normally piss me off did. Other than that my Strength and mass were awesome from it. I tell everyone to get it and for people that don't like it are the ones that dont go to the gym or are just gay
