    Recoop

    Do not buy

    • Length of Use: Less than 3 months
    Overall Experience:

    I regret impulsively buying this product via a Facebook ad.

    I take medication for ADHD, a condition that causes me to struggle with detrimental levels of procrastination, impulsivity, as well as constant struggles with memory and motivation.

    This medication has side effects which Recoop's marketing says it can alleviate.

    In my experience, not only did I not experience relief from side effects, I experienced dense 'brain fog,' a complete deterioration of my already inhibited motivation levels, difficulty concentrating at even my pre-medicated levels as well as nausea and dizziness.

    Not all supplements work for everyone, I get that. What really compelled me to leave this review is that I foolishly signed up for the subscription service, and now I have two VERY EXPENSIVE unopened bottles that I will never use and wouldn't give away let alone sell. I'm not employed, in a pandemic. I was on disability for mental health reasons and am trying to transition back to work at the worst time possible in my lifetime. Not only did they take my money, but the effects of their product interfered with my ability to better my situation.

    Now, you may say, "you signed up for it, the onus was on you to cancel or return it within 7 days." Normally I would agree with you, as most services with subscription plans are not marketed at a specific subset of the population which is diagnosed with a psychological condition whose criteria include impulsivity, forgetfulness, and procrastination at levels that impair their ability to function at a normal level.

    This product is. The ONLY people this product is marketed to are those taking prescription drugs for ADHD. Perhaps people abusing stimulants, but that's a different conversation.

    If you order this set and have ADHD, journal about how you feel each day so you can track its effectiveness and set a reminder in your calendar to review your notes and assess its effects on you while you still have time to cancel. I wish I had.

    Because I didn't do that, this company has $100 of my money that they have stated they will not refund even if I send back the unopened product. I am sure this has happened to a lot of people who have kept the experience to themselves as we ADHD people tend to see the manifestations of our psychiatric condition as personal failings instead of looking at the bigger picture - a company that knew you were likely to impulsively buy their product gave you a shiny, targeted ad promising you relief from your suffering, gave you a discount for signing up for a subscription that you were unlikely to remember to cancel, and made a return policy which very few of their targeted audience were likely to read or be able to adhere to.

    Is it a scam? Maybe. Is it predatory business practices? Absolutely.

    Pros and Cons:

    • The ads
    • Decreased motivation
    • Increased brain fog
    • Depression
    • Vivid disruptive dreams, poor sleep quality
    • Predatory business practices (subscription and return policy)
    • Did none of what it promised

    Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
