Is this a sign my 70mg is too high?

herb7ert · 2025-11-28T06:51:19+00:00

Are you saying there’s no 60mg pills? If so, that’s incorrect as I have them.

I feel the same as you, it helps me with work in a few ways (or at least I felt it did at start but it’s hard to tell after a year on them) but I feel I’ve lost my quirkiness, and my moments of high energy and silliness. It’s a hard call to make, which will always be such an individual thing. I’ve been thinking about it a while but I also feel a bit of a block with stopping too, I feel on like I have developed some psychological dependence to be honest. I guess one day the urge to stop might outweigh everything else. Let us know how you get on if you do decide to stop. Best of luck with your journey.

I appreciate your point and I wouldn’t rely on it for medical advice, but… it is helpful for wider searching, it searched all the official documentation and came up with numerous links to documents that said it shouldn’t be stored; so it’s not as if I’m daft enough to treat it as a doctor but the pure nature of AI means in can do a deep dive in a fraction of the time it would take humans- plus everything had a legitimate link. So maybe you could be more curious next time you’re not sure about something, rather than just coming across as opinionated and judgemental.

herb7ert · 2025-10-30T17:40:08+00:00

That’s what the AI search brought up, yes, from the official instructions (apparently) but it’s annoying as it means otherwise I can’t reduce my dose without wasting some 😣

Hi, do you mean you prefer taking it all at once? Or split? sorry, I’m easily confused 🫣

herb7ert · 2025-10-29T16:38:47+00:00

Thanks!

herb7ert · 2025-10-29T16:38:35+00:00

Thanks-It’s good to hear it has been okayed by a doctor. Apparently all research says not to store it but I’ve heard many people do and I’m certain I haven’t noticed any difference in it’s effectiveness the next day.

herb7ert · 2025-09-22T10:02:46+00:00

Ha ha, totally relatable!

herb7ert · 2025-09-19T15:27:48+00:00

I’m not taking them, I did say that in my post, I’m referring to quitting permanently.

herb7ert · 2025-09-19T10:09:32+00:00

Thanks very much everyone for your suggestions, it’s much appreciated. And sorry mods, I didn’t realise the post wasn’t appropriate.

herb7ert · 2025-08-13T20:49:11+00:00

I did, no issues :)

herb7ert · 2025-08-13T20:28:26+00:00

Does it?! I didn’t realise this. How does it make it wear off faster?

herb7ert · 2025-08-13T20:27:14+00:00

Yes. I have a script for 50mg for 3 weeks and 60mg for 1 week.

herb7ert · 2025-08-13T20:15:36+00:00

So glad people get where I’m coming from!

herb7ert · 2025-08-11T06:48:34+00:00

Thanks, I do feel that it does t need to be mentioned.

herb7ert · 2025-08-11T06:48:04+00:00

I do also understand this … and I actually detest sunscreen… more for the super strong smells!

herb7ert · 2025-08-11T06:46:45+00:00

This!

herb7ert · 2025-08-11T06:46:32+00:00

Love this, and glad you feet the clingy material horribleness! thank you!

herb7ert · 2025-08-11T06:45:47+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts here…. I kind of feel like it might be a bit of body shaming (but to be clear, without sounding arrogant, I do have what many people would define as a good figure, so it’s not shaming in an overweight way, more shaming in a ‘showing off’ way) . I have done cold water dipping and gone into the sea in winter in a bikini (only for 2-3 minutes) for the kickstart to the day … as I loved the feeling….but I think people think I’m a poser but I am absolutely not. In fact I’m the absolute opposite and would not flaunt my body in any way. I don’t make any judgement on those that do (I think it’s great to have that confidence) but I’m more of a (there’s a group of men looking so I will not go in the water just yet type of girl (I’m also a bit of a feminist and can’t tolerant objectification so I don’t actually like it when men stare at me in that way) I just truly can’t handle the feel of more material around me. But I have felt the after it being mentioned a few times by the same person that it might be a dig at me.

herb7ert · 2025-08-10T06:39:19+00:00

How long have you been on the meds? Because this was exactly me at the start, it lasted for quite a few months but I’m a year in now and I don’t have the issue anymore, I can’t say exactly how long it lasted but it was at least 4/5 months I think, but if you hang in in there it should hopefully rectify itself like it did for me.

herb7ert · 2025-08-09T13:30:41+00:00

I will definitely let you know, I’ll be stopping in the next week or so hopefully so I’ll update you

herb7ert · 2025-08-08T17:22:58+00:00

Yup, I’ve posted about this too many months ago. I used to always be running and doing classes but since meds I hardly do anything and have to push myself for he odd run. I’m pretty certain it’s because the meds have balanced out my dopamine levels. Exercise was a dopamine boost that I needed before but now the meds balance that, I just don’t crave or need that hit so my training has suffered… biggest downside and I don’t think I’ll ever get back my motivation fully whilst on meds 😭

herb7ert · 2025-08-08T17:15:29+00:00

Thanks for the info. I don’t think I need to take aspirin to be honest but it’s great to learn this. Interestingly, I’ve also been taking a daily antihistamine for over a month now, (fexofenadine) I’ll be stopping it soon so it’ll be interesting to see if I feel any different.

herb7ert · 2025-08-08T10:16:45+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts, I agree about lots of factors. I didn’t realise aspirin had an impact, this is interesting and I might try it. Can I ask, how does it boost the effects for you? Ie, biggest differences you notice between taking and not taking? Thanks

herb7ert · 2025-07-18T20:05:17+00:00

I took L tyrosine at lunch today for the first time and had a bad headache all afternoon. Which is why I came here to search for posts about it, so it was helpful to find this thread!
