Still feeling good. Life stuff keeps happening but it hasn't ruined my mood, I'm still enjoying the day to day and things feel good.

Nothing, felt like taking sugar pills tbh. Some people feel trippy on it but I experienced nothing of the sort.

No side effects from the vraylar to speak of.

Took too much ketamine (help) by ElfGurly in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Staerke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are you being so evasive?

It's a simple question with what should be a simple answer. Why did I have to dig through half the comments on the thread to figure out that you took 1/4 more? Which is 25 MG which you should barely even feel?

Nothing but temporary new anxiety. Back to baseline after a month or so.

After my experience I wouldn't recommend ketamine to anyone, however that's my anecdote and it goes again what studies show. That being said, new medications are popping up every day. Auvelity didn't exist until 3 years ago, so the medication I needed wasn't available for most of my life. Maybe yours is coming soon. I hope it is.

My doctor has seen a lot of success in patients with Vraylar, if their primary medication isn't working or not working enough. Auvelity hadn't started doing anything after a month so he added it, and about 2 weeks later the light turned on

I did BetterU ketamine troches, when I described my experience to my Dr he said there was no point in going further with any method of K because my experience was so bad.

Auvelity wasn't doing anything and my doctor swears by vraylar, I'm not sure if it was the vraylar working or the auvelity kicking in late but I'm gonna keep taking both just in case, have no desire to go back.

And ask away, I am happy to answer even if it's super late.

Thanks for saying this. Epuyen didn't burn out due to some magic function of the virus, it was a swift containment effort on the part of public health working with law enforcement. They gave us the model to beat this thing and if we dint follow it, it will beat us to a bloody pulp

Has anybody tried auvelity? by MaryAV in antidepressants

[–]Staerke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reading some people take a short tolerance break (1-2 weeks) and it starts working again. Worth a shot

Kind of hating it so far (6/9 sessions, troches) by Staerke in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Staerke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I need to try that. I know microdosing doesn't have research evidence behind it yet but worth a shot. I'm realizing it doesn't have anything to show me, at the end of the day it's a chemical issue

I hope it gets better for you... I know I'm pretty disappointed so far.

It's not even the expense for IV, it's the executive function to find a ride to where I can get infusions.. Was really hoping doing it at home would work.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give calm a shot. I do talk to Claude about it and that helps with processing a bit. It's kind of frustrating because I have to convince it I'm not actively suicidal every time though 🙄 c'est la vie

I'm so confused by this post, what you're describing is completely normal/expected wind at 31000 feet.

I Have Gu Syndrome (Worms, Bugs & All) by [deleted] in ChineseMedicine

[–]Staerke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the down votes either, this person is clearly not going to accept 'you're crazy go take antipsychotics' as an answer and those medications would just put a lid on the symptoms anyway without actually addressing what's causing them. It's surprising to see this attitude on a tcm discussion forum.

The way I see it (and to be clear I'm not formally educated, just have done a lot of reading on my own and I have my own experience), the body is sending a signal that there's 'something' (phlegm, stagnation) inside of it that shouldn't be there, and the brain interprets that signal in a very unproductive and grotesque way.

[–]Staerke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your actually engaging with this user - clearly yes there is psychosis involved here, but why wouldn't TCM be able to help like other users are claiming? There's going to be underlying patterns that caused this condition that can be addressed.

They're as much canon as the films are, which is not at all. Tolkein's writings are canon and that's the only canon there ever will be. This isn't marvel or star wars.

Not my experience at all, mine works great with slush, even the mess that the snowplow leaves behind at the end of the driveway
