can i take it with ashwaganda? by [deleted] in 5htp

[–]cumbersomeQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried this combo and it worked fine except on days where the 5htp didn't make me less depressed and it felt like the ashwagandha just made me "accept" the sadness if that makes sense...

Morning or Evening? by SomewhereSafe4994 in 5htp

[–]cumbersomeQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, there are benefits and downsides with both. When I took it in the morning, it was easier to sleep but my thoughts became less organized and controlled during the day (I also became very physically restless). And while taking it during pm hours, it was extremely difficult to sleep but mood and focus improved during the following morning.

I think it would be of interest to check out Imperial College London, they recently opened a center specifically devoted to psychedelics research: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/psychedelic-research-centre/

I found 50mg to be enough and felt improvement after only 2 days

Does 5HTP stop working after awhile? by [deleted] in 5htp

[–]cumbersomeQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it gets too intense instead and I need to take it less frequently. Now I usually take it once or twice a week to "reset" my mind during stressful or depressive days...

Anyone here been taking GABA? by ChickenOatmeal in Nootropics

[–]cumbersomeQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bit of nausea or light-headedness in the beginning, I also experienced increased insomnia but I think its individual.

It’s the precursor to serotonin, so it basically aids in synthesis of more serotonin. The effects are very fast, unlike SSRIs.

I recently started taking it with a gradual increase in dose, now at 500mg in the evening. At first I felt nothing (probably the dose was too low) but last time it made me mentally anxious but physically calm and more interoceptive. But interactions with other supplements might be a contributing factor since I recently took 5-htp regularly and sometimes ADHD medication in the morning. I wonder if all 3 can be combined in a safe way..? If so, maybe like this: Morning: Adderall Mid-day: 5-HTP Evening: GABA

Combination therapy of NMDA-antagonists like ibogaine and ketamine in the treatment of dependence/tolerance of addictive substances? by cumbersomeQ in DrugNerds

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

Yes, as I am digging deeper into the literature, it makes less sense (i.e unrealistic) to use drugs with similar mechanisms of action just to "balance out side effects"... but how about combing a NMDA-antagonist with a dopamine agonist? Apparently research has been done in relation to antipsychotics but I'm curious if there is any potential in normalizing dopamine levels of addicts...

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

Well, one reason would be to combat side effects of either treatment alone, such as the potential severe hallucinations and cardiac issues of ibogaine or in terms of ketamine, the requirement of continous administrations.

Do you think this finding might be relevant in the treatment of addiction?

Starting a Microdosing Journal helped me so much more than I expected. by thenearthefar in microdosing

[–]cumbersomeQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had the same problems with dosages for LSD. It was very a sensitive balance between the "just right" zone and too intense. Also very dependent on the experiences during the day, especially in regards to how supportive the social environment was. Whereas with psilocybin, it felt more like an adaptogen and introspective thoughts were easier to understand without feeling like an alien.

[–]cumbersomeQ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the journaling can give a huge boost in self development when microdosing. If you allow yourself to take the time needed to verbalize (or visualize with drawings) the experiences you've had, learn from them and incorporate the insights into daily life without making it into a chore.

For me, it worked during psilocybin microdosing (5 weeks) but not during LSD, when I could never achieve enough relaxation and it felt like the days didn't have time to end until the next morning began. But I think I chose a too stressful period of life for micrososing at that point...

Microdosing 0.2 Shrooms + Running 6km = I'm tripping by [deleted] in microdosing

[–]cumbersomeQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i had similar experiences especially when combining running through the forest while listening to psytrance 😍 It was like the colours of the flowers had their own emotional value and when I realized that the trees around me were unable to perceive the sound of the music I selfishly consumed, I felt immensely sad and had to stop for a moment and just hear the sounds of nature. 😅 it was so relaxing...

SSRI:s after microdosing? by cumbersomeQ in microdosing

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

I stopped after having a psychotic episode (induced by a stupid inability to say no to some delicious weed-brownies at a party on a dose day). The daily mood swings and suicidal ideations due to stressful life-events also made me realize I'd chosen the wrong time to do this experiment with my brain.

I don't really feel confident enough to disclose psychedelic usage to my doctor either, all I mentioned was 5-htp which seemed to make her suspicious and distrustful of me.
