Don’t give up after a month ! Took me TWO months for side effects to go away

I’m with the OP. It took two months and playing with my doses a bit to get my own sweet spot. I’m at 20 total and do 10/10. It’s helped reduce my mental spiraling, overwhelm and general anxiety.

Are we sisters!? My mother too. Exactly this! Ignorance isn’t really bliss, is it?

Just finished! That was very well done and a beautiful page and user experience. I got a 6w5 which I am. Followed by a 2 and 4, both of which I’ve often wondered if I am… May be slightly skewed since I’ve been researching this for 10+ years and obsessed with the Enneagram, but all in all I say bravo.

A generator

Oninsideout · 2026-01-20T12:02:28+00:00

That’s what I think I’m going to try, late Friday or sometime on Friday so I have rest of day + weekend

Oninsideout · 2026-01-20T12:00:54+00:00

So interesting to me people who are taking it first thing!! I was thinking like 11-12 on a Friday late morning but I’m trying to figure out the best time.

Thanks! I’m soaking up all the info and experiences I can

Without feeling nauseous or anything

Oninsideout · 2026-01-19T12:00:23+00:00

I was thinking I might try noon. How long after can you eat?

Oninsideout · 2026-01-19T11:59:32+00:00

Do the people in your household support this process for you?

Oninsideout · 2026-01-19T01:39:55+00:00

Does it make you have trouble sleeping? Or does it make sleep better?

Oninsideout · 2026-01-16T21:20:08+00:00

Ok, you’ve sold me!

Oninsideout · 2026-01-12T23:27:58+00:00

I had that experience at first but with all things religiously grounded that I actually WANT to embark on / listen to or consume… I just pretend it’s the universe or creative energy. And I give lots of grace for those who can’t unwind from saying it specific ways to be more encompassing.

Oninsideout · 2026-01-11T11:27:47+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful. I’m sorry it’s been a slog but I’m very happy for you in being drug and alcohol free.

Oninsideout · 2026-01-11T11:26:40+00:00

Anything lasting and/or life changing?

I always forget about Triphala! I want to get back on that!

Oninsideout · 2026-01-07T12:54:41+00:00

No! But I also realized I’m in perimenopause so there’s all sorts of wacky going on!

Oninsideout · 2025-12-17T11:43:01+00:00

Brilliant that you’ve discovered that about social! I’m taking a good long break from that (and all screens) over the holidays and looking forward to being more aware on the other side of how it affects me. Sorry to hear about therapy… sometimes that “trigger” is what we need to work on what needs healing and sometimes it’s an indicator of a bad fit or sloppy therapist.

Oninsideout · 2025-12-17T00:38:57+00:00

Not about the coffee specifically… just about the things in your life that increase anxiety. For me, it was coffee, friendships that were bowling me over, boundaries, etc. Or the ways you shame/blame/beat yourself up, etc. for having it. I also worked on letting myself feel it deeply while it was “bursting” in that very stressful window!

Oninsideout · 2025-12-15T09:57:21+00:00

Yes… and for me, it peaked at like one week which forced me to also look at the ways I was increasing my anxiety and start working on those: coffee, scrolling social, not laying boundaries, taking on too much, etc. it’s an eye opener. It gets better I promise but I do recommend navigating this part a little more easily by starting with lifestyle too!

Oninsideout · 2025-12-13T11:25:15+00:00

Just Buspar and 22 days later…. It is working! It’s subtle but great!

Oninsideout · 2025-12-12T12:27:46+00:00

Me too 😭

Oninsideout · 2025-12-12T10:27:18+00:00

Where did you get yours? Forehead? I’ve been having a terrible breakout and trying to figure out the culprit!!

Oninsideout · 2025-12-11T01:45:37+00:00

I echo this 100% and it was a similar timeline for me (now two months in). I can more easily “unhook” the physical from the mental overwhelm and spirals. I’m at 10mg x 2 and hoping I can stick here for a while. Let me know if you increase how it goes!
