Back in my school days I used to pop Pro Plus regularly – it became an almost ceremonial event during the exam period. Looking back on it now, I do not know why I bothered as they did not have any positive effects at all. It would have been more worthwhile smacking myself over the head with a hammer a few times. But stilll I took them. I was quite a silly boy.

I first heard of PEP pills about 6 months ago. They were being marketed as the best legal substitute to ecstasy since….well..the last alternative that gave you nothing but a massive headache!

Upon ingesting two PEP Original’s I was highly skeptical and remained so until 2 hours after dropping them. I began to experience weird tingles all over my body and although I’m reluctant to call them pleasurable they were not in anyway uncomfortable. It was around this time that I started feeling paranoid and little did I know at the time but the experience was properly kicking in. I felt as though someone had switched a light on inside my head and could sense a distant whirring sensation. It was very odd.


If you like your highs to be anything but mellow, PEP Pills Original might just be the ticket for you!

I must admit I was extremely anxious at this point as my mind was focusing in on my breathing and heart rate both of which were elevated at the time. I tried to take my mind off it by turning on my T.V. Whilst watching Newsnight I noticed some weird colourless ripples on the screen. The presenters heads also looked a little warped too.

Around this time the infamous dry mouth began kicking in which was extremely annoying. I had absolutely no appetite either for fluids or solids. Drinking too much water made me hiccup and I started feeling like I was going to be sick. This did not pass until about an hour into the trip.

By this stage my anxiety was greatly reduced and so were any hints of euphoria. I now felt quite content although I was still aware of my elevated heart rate but it wasn’t that much of a concern.

It stayed like this for around 6 to 8 hours and trying to get to sleep proved to be a complete nightmare. What made things worse was that if I opened my eyes whilst lying in bed I started to see pale outlines of people. Not particularly pleasant. This continued on for about 3 or 4 hours until about 6am in the morning when I finally fell asleep.

When I got up the next morning I felt quite rough and my pupils were still related. You are probably best not taking PEP’s if you have any official appointments the next morning as in my experience I still felt out of it well after sunrise.

If you are trying these the first time I seriously recommend that you keep to the advised dose on the package. It seems as though people gain the best effects from these in clubs or pubs. They aren’t exactly great for just staying in alone. You’ll have a hell of a lot more fun if you try these with someone else. Watch out for the paranoia too. It can become quite crippling. As with everything like this it is best erring on the side of caution. Have fun.
