Title says it all. I've seen a few promising experiences on Reddit, one of them actually abbit worrisome, but the vast majority of people seem to get bad effects or nothing at all.

There are more posts.
I understand it's also fragile and difficult to recon.
At the risk of oversharing, and perhaps sounding like a sissy, I have some experiences that make me suspect that additional oxytocin could benefit me.
I wasn't close with my mother growing up and she was unable to breastfeed. Me and my dad were very close, until he had a paychotic break after the divorce when I was 13. I went with him and went no-contact with my mother for six years, and felt very intense lonliness for a long time that turned into hardcore drug abuse between the ages of 16 and last year.
I handle breakups the way that other people handle death. Dreams and nightmares and vivid memories that linger for years afterwards. Wailing, crying in my sleep.
When I have the opportunity to be with close friends, which is rare, I initiate a LOT of physical contact – and I honestly wish that sleeping in the same bed with your friends wasn't so stigmatized as a man.
I also exhibit a lot of autistic behaviours. I'm not sure if I always have or if my unique combination of environmental stressors and weird upbringing have caused some kind of functional equivalent. There's a bit of a dichotomy since I can be very outgoing one minute and struggle intensely with eye contact the next.
All this to say that I am a bit of an odd bird, and I often react very differently to substances than my peers do. For instance, benzodiazepines make me euphoric and are incredibly addictive to me, but opiates don't bother me at all. I actually used kratom for a few years for this very reason, and was able to quit the habit practically overnight when I suspected it was no longer serving me.
On an unrelated note, for those still reading, allopregnanolone and Clonidine were recommended and interest me as well.
I understand that Clonidine sort of works in the opposite way that caffeine does, and caffeine makes me very anxious and causes sleep disturbances 16+ hours after dosing.
Sorry for a shitty and weird post. I didn't get into peptides because I was a happy, healthy individual lol.
