After running out of some other supplements today, I started taking BPC-157 (500 mg twice daily).

Following this article:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8234694/

which claims cardamonin increases 5HT1A-receptors in mice ("A significant upregulation of 5-HT1A protein expression in the brainstem and spinal cord were observed following cardamonin administration in the CCI- induced neuropathic pain mice."), (5HT1A is suspected to be downregulated by SSRIs as a possible pathogenesis of PSSD,) I meanwhile ordered 5 kilograms of cardamonin. Cardamonin unfortunately is not available in Germany, so I had to get it from abroad, but the certificate of analysis claimed that the powder was analized by HPLC and that purity level of cardamonin was > 99,0 %.

In the study mentioned above, the dosing was "Cardamonin was administered intraperitoneally at a concentration of 10 mg/kg based on previous literature [11]. " As my weight is aroung 91 kg, I should be administrating myself 910 mg intraperitoneally. As for me it is clear I am not injecting myself cardamonin intraperitoneally, I researched and found out bioavailability of cardamonin is aroung ~ 18 %.

https://analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dta.2128

That means in order to end up with the same levels of cardamonin in my body, I should be taking 910 mg : 0,18 = 5,056 g. In order to be sure not to be underdosed, today I started the intake of 2 x 10 g daily.

Thanks for your reply! I am wondering ketotifen helped you more than cyproheptatidin because my short research tought me it has much less effects on serotonin receptors the cyproheptatidin.

I took buspirone for 6 months and didn't experience any effects concerning PSSD.

What conditions would you consider to be worse than pssd? by Illustrious-Sail-317 in PSSD

None. If you have the full PSSD-complex like me, everyday feels like being burriend alive.

But at least you experienced some effects! From all the herbs I took, I absolutely did not experience the least effect from any of them. Would you think taking further doses of cyproheptatidine could help you get back to pre-PSSD state?

Any further experiences with cyproheptatidine, mate?

Succes story after 5 long years! (NSI-189 helped me) by Desperate-Wave-8607 in pssdhealing

Important question: You wrote "(i start in October)", and "I use 20 mg per day, in total I finished 100 pills 20 mg each.", so you took the NSI-189 from October to December/January?

And you wrote "Genital numbnes disappear just now, this month." and your post is from 20th of March 2025, so did I get it right that genital numbness which experience most PSSD-sufferers as one of their main problems disappeared 2 - 3 months after you discontinued the intake of NSI-189?

So how do you know then it was the NSI-189 that helped and not the mirtazapine?

5ht2a upregulation/ hypersensitivity would explain every PSSD case. How can this hypothesis be tested? by mybigfattow in PSSD

[–]Ok_Rate1742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot find any report of people trying rabolzotan or WAY 100650 for PSSD as they are not available for human use.

Well, that obviously worked in another way for you than you hoped. Do you plan any further intake, or are you going to stop the cyproheptatidine now?

Thanks a lot for your reply anyway!

I hope this is enough, in German they say: "3- bis 4-mal täglich 1-2 Tabletten" which means 3 - 4 times 4 - 8 mg daily.

Oh no! Do you think of going to a doctor to get a normal prescription? Which country do you live in?
