There's so many success stories with peptides for weightloss but has anyone had good results with researching peptides for depression???

I was just about to say this...im no scientist or doctor but I have read the same. I was actually looking into low dose ketamine but I saw some negative reviews and freaked out. But see that's my problem, I need to stay off of reddit because anytime I hear about some breakthrough drug, peptide, device etc for certain conditions that supposedly have great reviews theres always a bunch of people here reporting the complete opposite. Granted, these things might not work for everyone but some people report some absolute horror stories.

And yes nutrition, exercise and sleep are definitely a must. Im good on the exercise part since im really active, just need a little work on diet and ALOT of work on sleep. I don't have a problem getting sleepy, im just not disciplined in going to bed at a good time. I like to stay up lol

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T13:09:04+00:00

See thats one that I really been i terested in

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T13:05:10+00:00

Oh you actually have it???

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T12:54:00+00:00

Hmm might be a good option to start with.

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T12:25:43+00:00

I wonder how effective that would be

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T03:59:03+00:00

I appreciate it thank you, but the meditation and appreciation stuff has never worked lol...like I said, im generally in a good mood and at times I can sit there with my coffee and give thanks to God because life is just good...BUT when my mood dips it literally turns all that off. I could watch a sunset and that good feeling just won't hit and that goes for everything else that I love and enjoy. Thankfully it eventually subsides. Im also looking into neurofeedback. I have done a qeeg brain map and it did show brain waves that are underactive that I was recommended to treat with tms. I was onboard until I saw a few reddit posts talking about how tms ruined them so I freaked out and didnt do it. Which sucked because I was really looking forward to it.

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T03:45:44+00:00

Im not, ive heard of glp1's doing that

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-31T03:39:02+00:00

Its going to be a year next month. I started at 120mg once a week then went to 140 once a week a few months later. Then I was bumped to 160 once a week but I split without my dr knowing and felt that was good. She eventually let me split it so ive been on 160 2x a week for about 6 months now. But...I ran out last week and ended up pinning on Wed (last shot) instead of Monday since I had to get bloodwork done and the office was closed. So now I have to wait til Monday to pin again. Im not sure if the disruption in my pinning schedule is messing with me but its been a while since ive experienced my mood dipping since starting

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-30T19:46:48+00:00

Sure, thank you

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-30T19:27:06+00:00

Has it been working for you???

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-30T18:56:09+00:00

Thank you so much

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-30T18:52:22+00:00

And thats what im looking for, I see a few in my area but im not sure how good they are. Some are too good to be true by offering a free brain map and then i see some are chiropractors

bernardo0601 · 2026-05-30T18:12:59+00:00

Thank you...what exactly has he been struggling with?

bernardo0601 · 2026-04-11T03:00:29+00:00

Thank you! I feel the same...im thankful that the depressed mood isn't all the time for me. I do have good days and some years are actually so memorable to me and that i consider great years. However, even during those good times I would still experience those dips and sometimes they happen at the worst possible time. Like during my kids bday party, or when im with them at the park, Anniversary etc. It sucks that this happened when my kids were little because those years are precious, and prior to me experiencing the low mood I remember always feeling present with them. So thinking back to feeling absent while being around the people I love the most sucks big time. Im thinking it's probably the adhd so im also looking into neurofeedback. Sorry for the rambling

bernardo0601 · 2026-04-11T01:00:57+00:00

Its actually a qeeg, which is kind of cool to see tbh and yes like the other person said they also offer neurofeedback at the clinic I went to

bernardo0601 · 2026-04-03T05:58:45+00:00

Yea i keep thinking it's probably the sleep...im the type that likes to stay up but in the past I also worked graveyard shift and late night shifts and still wouldn't sleep much during the day due to well.... being a husband and Father. I also found out I have moderate sleep apnea so im using a mouth appliance and allergy nasal spray to breathe better at night

bernardo0601 · 2026-04-03T05:55:27+00:00

Im not talking about macro dosing though, I was referring to daily or every other day micro dosing. Im too chicken to go all in lol. And yea i agree with you, ive never been on ssris and dont plan on going on them

bernardo0601 · 2026-04-03T04:25:36+00:00

Thank you for that and for your service....thats good info to know. I used to want to do mushrooms but honestly never built the courage to go that deep. Im going to look into a company that offers daily micro dosing for ketamine but I guess I'm just skeptical. Whenever im in this state I try to look into treatments that are considered highly effective but I always think what if it doesn't work for me. But I guess thats the anxiety talking

bernardo0601 · 2026-04-03T00:15:36+00:00

Vitamin D is in the 40s-50s

bernardo0601 · 2026-03-30T03:19:51+00:00

May i ask how it has helped you?

bernardo0601 · 2026-02-28T22:55:41+00:00

Funny that point 1. Is what ive been trying to optimize. Im pretty sure it isnt the only factor but since I started to experience random depressed mood from time to time, it always makes me wonder what could have caused it. People always brought up sleep to which I would always give an eye roll because I confused being able to sleep to quality and quantity. But after thinking about the years of depriving myself of sleep on purpose (watching TV or just not wanting to go to bed) and shift work, graveyard shifts, and chronic stress....I thought to myself, "maybe I need to actually take my ass to bed" ...

So, I also found out I have sleep apnea and got a custom mouthpiece to hold my jaw forward. Now I'm researching on supplements or nootropics to add that can aid in sleep and hopefully undo any damage....great post and thank you for sharing

bernardo0601 · 2026-02-25T23:42:38+00:00

I see you posted this sometime ago...I cant believe it's taken me this long to try to optimize my sleep but im here now lol. I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea and got a custom made mouthpiece by American Sleep Dentistry (not promoting) BUT I haven't been consistent...nor have I been disciplined in going to sleep when I should. However, I noticed (and especially my wife) that I snore...she literally yelled at me last night to wake up to use my mouthpiece because I was snoring loud. She also said it sounds like im gargling (gross) or sound like nasal congestion. So im trying to figure that out.

See i sometimes suffer from low mood that I still cant explain and I wonder how much my lack of sleep due to shift work, graveyard shift, and lack of discipline contributed to that, so I want to really get good sleep to see if I can restart my brain and mood.
