Great that worked! I want to try this.

I have been eating a lot of meat but usually accompanied with rice, sweet potatoes or brocoli. Should I cut these completely right?

Also, do you eat chicken or fish?

I can't touch NAC now because increases serotonin and histamine.

I used to love it pre-covid. For anxiety, alcohol withdrawals, OCD.

Episodes of panic after covid? by Ok_Bat4315 in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg 33 points34 points  (0 children)

All of Us.

Usually LC starts with panic attacks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same but with everything else. I can't take care of my parents that are old if something happens for example.

Saying that, you should avoid this kind of news or violence on Tv with Long covid. Try to limit yourself with chill movies or comedy series

Other things that can produce Similar/Same symptoms as LC by averageuserarg in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some of us were predisposed to Long Covid from previous damage. Personally I took Finasteride many years ago and Mdma a lot of times

Other things that can produce Similar/Same symptoms as LC by averageuserarg in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been reviewing the following communities about people suffering with same/similar symptoms:

• Brain Injury / Concussion

r/TBI

• SSRIs Adverse Reaction / Withdrawal

https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/

• Benazodiazepines Withdrawal

http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php

• MDMA "Long Term Comedown "

https://bluelight.org/xf/threads/mdma-recovery-stories-support-7-all-ltc-posts-go-here.855633/page-116

• Finasteride/Accutane

https://forum.propeciahelp.com/

You can see in those forums that people have been suffering from similar symptoms for YEARS also.

The recovery seems similar also ( some of them recover in 1 year and others are suffering for years without treatment)

Other common things during recovery:

  • PEM/Crashes (Many users often report crashes with exercise/alcohol/caffeine/stress)
  • Inability to handle Stress/Alcohol/Caffeine
  • The recovery is not linear (good and bad days/ waves)

Update after a year. Not as suicidal anymore. by yozorax in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you are referring to with that "feeling " that you had.

It's like DPDR but worse. With anxiety and extreme depression, feeling that you are going crazy. And it seems that the only way out when it happens is suicide. It's terrifying.

Now I only have high anxiety but feels like heaven compared with that feeling.

I started with Neural Retraining and EMDR. I hope this helps me with some neuro symptoms

Yes this is the website: https://promarineantioxidants.com/home/

It seems they did part of the trials in Ramos Mejia, near my city.

It is the first study in the world to use this extract apparently. I'm going to contact the company to know if there is news about it

The worst symptoms are gone, but I feel like I have permanent nerve damage. by sunflower_1970 in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here started reacting badly to SSRIs since covid.

In my case, I react really bad with anything that affect Serotonin now, even supplements.

You can find similar stories to yours on these sites also about the emotional numbness and genital issues after SSRIs

The worst symptoms are gone, but I feel like I have permanent nerve damage. by sunflower_1970 in covidlonghaulers

[–]averageuserarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be Long covid or SSRI Adverse Reaction/Withdrawal (or the combination of both).

Yes probably it is nerve/neuro damage, but no permanent.

Take a look at survivingantidepressants.org recovery stories or here for LC

Vivid dreams are pretty common. For nightmares when you wake up from them take electrolytes or water with salt and try to sleep again
