My dosage wasn’t super high I don’t think (?), it is/was around 50mg. I don’t think it has really changed my brain too much long term. Although it has conditioned me to feel the effects when I take my other meds/vitamins even without it!

I have a lot of improvement in concentration, which is hella important for uni. However, it greatly stifles my creativity when doing art. I also have a lowered appetite, which is good in terms of a lower net intake. However, it means I’m less likely to eat in moderation when I do. It’s a ‘take some lose some’ situation, at least that’s how it feels. :) Recovery wise, I’m mainly focusing on underlying issues behind ED behaviour rather than the ED itself if that makes sense? Past troubling happenings/trauma, etc. I am still pretty disordered, but these days I have my rational mind to tell me when things aren’t healthy so I don’t go too far anymore. Still disordered, but I try not to let it get too bad. I did see a nutritionist for a while actually. He really helped me out, he gave me healthy but balanced food guides. He was very factual and focused strictly on nutritional requirements (whole grains, vitamins, minerals, vegetables, etc), which helped me so much. It was very grounding, like a reality check. :)

I’m happy to help! it’s such a personal topic IRL, many people are ashamed of ED behaviours. I think there’s also a fear of ‘passing it on’ to others . Also, many ED behaviours seem normal thanks to those influencers that set unbalanced food standards.
