First impressions of oxytocin from an Aspie Nootropics

TL;DR at the end

Background: Ok so let me start off by saying that I've tried a very large number of nootropics/supplements/drugs to help improve my symptoms of aspergers, with many varying results. I don't post too much but I summarized a good amount of my experiences in this single post for anyone interested: http://ift.tt/20bMvfD

Intro: So naturally when I saw my favorite vendor offering oxytocin, I knew this was something I had to try after seeing research with oxytocin for autism. I just want to preface by saying these are my first impressions(first few days), and I'll need a good month or so of consistant dosing to give my favorite reddit community a good detailed experience report. So far, this is what I've experienced:

Effects: -Increased Anxiety. Not necessarily a bad anxiety though. Its kind of hard to describe. Almost like an excited anxiety. Like if you're about to do something important that you've been really looking forward to, like you're nervous/excited at the same time. I would call it a neutral feeling as opposed to traditional anxiety or nervousness

-It has somewhat of a sense enhancing effect. Like immediately after I made the solution (shout out to /u/srubek for explaining exactly how to make the solution), I took a dose and within about a minute I found myself staring at my carpet for some reason and noticing the texture of it. Like it looked even fuzzier than normal. I just ran my hands through it thinking damn this is a nice carpet (lol). I haven't really experienced this since the first time I've tried it though.

-Sort of a giddyness type feeling. Like while texting me girlfriend, she texts me that she misses me and I always reply that I miss her too. That first night I tried it, I got that text from her and I just had the biggest smile on my face, and just kind of "felt" that she was missing me. We text each other this all the time, but this time it just felt more meaningful. Like it wasnt just simply something we always text each other; rather I felt happiness and a connection knowing that she misses me and I miss her too. I'm actually hanging out with her tomorrow night, so it should be interesting to see if I notice any changes while being with her in person.

So this is all I have for now; For some reason, that first night immediately after my first dose I felt it the most, and the other 3/4 times was sort of a similar feeling, just to a smaller extent. What I'm starting to think is that putting it in the refrigerator was a bad idea. I read online that it should be refrigerated so it doesn't degrade, but that first time I tried it was at room temperature immediately after making the solution, so maybe it became less potent? I'm not sure if I should keep it refrigerated or at room temperature, or if I can leave it back at room temperature once I've refrigerated it. Isn't it supposed to be refrigerated? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also the effects seem to last about an hour or so, and maybe after consistently taking it for a month will help it build up some in my system and last longer.

Either way, a good consistent month of dosing will give me a good idea of how it really affects me. I've read many raving posts about different nootropic experiences during the first few days, only to be updated some time later saying it wasn't really all that great; the placebo effect is definitely real. And I have asperger's, so it may affect me differently than it would a neurotypical person. Also I apologize in advance for any possible misspellings or bad sentence structure, I just felt compelled to write this up and share with you guys really quick before bed because I haven't seen any reports yet and I know some people have been asking about it.

TL;DR -these are only my first impressions after a couple of days -increased anxiety(not the bad kind)/excited type feeling -increase in senses/attention to detail -giddyness/ big cheesy smile to everyday text from gf that would not normally give me that feeling
