Hi Q.
I've got the 'Liquid Trust' version as well. It does seem to work the way they say.I'm suprised these guys who sell it got around the FDA, by using what's basicaly a pharmaceutical and marketing it as a "body fragrance". This also happened with GBL, marketed as a muscle enhancer ( gamma butyrolactone) but the FDA eventually shut the various operations down.( not that the FDA always has our best interest in mind though)I would reccommend only certified products like the nasal spray version from Novartis or other recognised institution.
The oxytocin trust thing is hard to explain, it's more like damping down of skepticism, rather than full blown trust. It's anti-anxiety effects seem more akin to the neuroleptics, ie. not getting worked up by a certain threatening situation, rather than feeling tranquilized down, like one would on benzos, etc.
I only use it occasionaly, a while back I was using it regularly, and on stopping noticed a kind of discontinuation syndrome. Slight anxiety, myalgia, and noise sensitivity.
