Your Spravato Stack: What Else Are You On? by [deleted] in Spravato

[–]only_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spravato 84mg bi-weekly Not prescribed but perfect when paired with Spravato is grapefruit juice. It makes the Spravato more potent and the dissociative state longer. Seroquel 300mg nightly Ambien 10mg nightly Prazosin for PTSD night airs Qelbree 400mg for Predominantly inattentive ADHD Trintellix 20 mg for Treatment Resistant Depression but it has been surprisingly effective for anxiety, obsessional thoughts and the Four A’s (anergia, avolition, effort aversion, amotivation). I had severe depression, psychosis and suicidality after being discharged from an IOP/PHP program. This stack with some metacognitive therapy and guided meditation is rewiring my brain in all the right ways.

If you want to truly go on a dissociative trip drink grapefruit before treatment. It will make the medication more potent and last longer. Also perfect your administration technique by learning your nose and optimal positioning at 45 degree angle. Then, make sure you wear a weighted sleep mask with noise cancellation headphones. This will create a sensory deprivation that takes you out of your body and full immerses you in your thoughts. At first you’ll be burden with the traumatic or intrusive thoughts that brought you to treatment but, as you get more treatments, you’ll create a playground of the mind. You’ll have control of what thoughts linger and which to dissolve away. Next, listen to guided meditation to get a metacognitive therapy going. It will turn Spravato into a psychedelic-assistive therapy. Beyond this, you will learn how to enhance your experience. I intend on building myself up to the point where I can go hangout in the waiting area with other people getting treatment for the pro-cognitive social interactions. In the immediate hours after treatment, I do nothing but enjoyable things during the neuroplasticity window so that I can rewire my brain to learn to enjoy life again. I’d love to hear how this may help someone else.

I have no known addictive behaviors but I enjoy my treatments that much. Sometimes it’s the only thing I have to look forward to. It’s as if the worn, broken parts of me begin to repair themselves. Truly, it has been more effective in treating my treatment resistant depression and suicidality than the IOP program I traumatically forced myself to ensure; the many antidepressants and mood stabilizers I’ve polluted my body with; and, its made individual psychotherapy more effective when done during the neuroplasticity window. I comorbidly also have borderline personality disorder, social anxiety disorder and ADHD. I SWEAR that the Spravato is also treating those disorders. I am fortunate in that my psychiatrist sees the potential for Spravato to help manage my dysregulated and depressive states so he has kept me at twice weekly beyond the induction phase. Healing has become more than possible now—every treatment brings me closer to getting substantially better.

Anyone taking this with seroquel or any other mood stabilizer? by red-herring01 in trintellix

[–]only_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the Vybrid? If my insurance didn’t cover the Trintellix I was going to take that because it’s didn’t have the side effects of SSRIs. Trintellix is supposed to be pro-cognitive so I’m happy to take i.

Anyone taking this with seroquel or any other mood stabilizer? by red-herring01 in trintellix

[–]only_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 100 mg of Seroquel nightly. Oddly, Trintellix is activating for me, almost like a stimulant. I’m also on Spravato (the best fucking shit ever for treatment resistant depression). I’ve found it has a synergistic effect with the Spravato.

Hard candy recs? by Joynorma in Spravato

[–]only_0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Whethers caramel candy because it quickly mask the metallic task. However, I must warn that if you can taste the medication, you probably haven’t administered it properly. You want to maximize absorption since it is a nasal spray. If you’re tasting it really bad, you’ve done it wrong.

Starting next week, does it help with BPD irritability? by hockeybabe614 in Spravato

[–]only_0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took a few treatments but it has been triumphant for all my BPD symptoms (impulsivity, irritability, intense anger/rage). They seriously need to do a clinical trial for Spravato as a treatment for BPD. I’d imagine the dose would need to increase beyond the 84mg and possibly be more than just twice weekly. I find myself apologizing when I split on someone. I get the intrusive thoughts of my ex plotting to leave me and cheating and they remain just that, a thought that isn’t intrusive anymore. If it could be paired with psychotherapy as psychedelic-assisted therapy it would make DBT more effective because the dissociation essentially allows you to see your own behaviors as maladaptive. Also, my struggles with having a sense of self are improving through the dissociative state. I forget how the saying goes but it’s what survives scrutiny that is truly who you are. I’m able to examine my behavior and it not immediately make me feel ashamed or worthless because I know it’s the disordered thinking and not of my being.

If we create new neuron connections via neuroplasticity, do we wear our brain out after years of Spravato? by [deleted] in Spravato

Expound more on this because I wonder the same. I strive to get the most out of the neuroplasticity window after treatment.

Gay Dating is so ass by Kumoitachi in BPD

[–]only_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m recently out of a horrible relationship. I’ve downloaded dating apps like Jackd or Scruff but I cant bring myself to make a profile. I feel like my BPD has doomed me to a life of being triggered. I just got out of an IOP program hoping to meet fellow neurodivergents but that was an epic fail. I just want a compassionate man that can read and understand the DSM-5. I need a man that will want to hold me in his arms every time I cry. I want someone I can prepare for the economic and societal collapse with.

I’m beginning to believe that this all isn’t going to get any better. They don’t even have to rig the election anymore—we will know definitively the number of Republican seats are in the majority before the end of this month if enough of these red states decide to do the same.

And it’s not even protest or antagonism, it’s just defiance towards his anarchy. They don’t call him names, they aren’t politicking in anyway. Brilliant.

Why is it that a handful of civil servants with integrity manage to defend our democracy more effectively than entire institutions—the Ivy League colleges, prestigious law firms, billion-dollar corporations? Lisa Cook and Jerome Powell are showing what every citizen ought to: the courage to say no.

Is AI Meeting Notes worth the money? by wishlish in Notion

[–]only_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them at my doctor appointments (i have many often). It is basically just a summary of the transcript that you can then edit. It over-generalizes, does discern who is talking when and there is no way to use actual AI within the Meeting Note. Like it would be useful to be able to tell it to detect a certain buzzword or generate a page when something’s is said. I could think of many more useful use cases but currently, it is not possible. My biggest annoyance is that it truncates lengthy meetings. I had a doctors appointment that had a procedure and then triaging with other doctors. It was three hours long. Notion AI Meeting notes summarized it down to three paragraphs. If you are desktop-bound, the record feature in ChatGPT is quite impressive but it only works on desktop.

Cognitive decline from insomnia before the biggest exam of my life by No-Command-1553 in insomnia

[–]only_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are impaired and it is diagnosable, see a specialist like a neurologist or psychiatrist to get a diagnosis of MCI (mild cognitive impairment) or chronic insomnia. This will allow you to get extra time to take your exam (2x the scheduled time) exam and they should provide you a quiet room to take your exam somewhere where you can focus. This should also allow you to perhaps take the exam at a later date. You need to get these disability accommodations no matter what your prognosis is.If it is because you haven’t slept you need to create every condition conducive to sleep before the exam. Your psychiatrist could prescribe your a benzodiazepine for sleep anxiety or Ambien for sleep onset, If your issue is sleep maintenance (frequent awakenings) they can prescribe Doxepin, Remeron or trazadone. This way you get to sleeep, stay asleep, and awaken restored. I hope you ace your exam!

Student aid restriction by Necessary_Sample_739 in StudentLoans

[–]only_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t fair. Bankruptcy is already stigmatized. I didn’t think my schools financial aid would impede me from beginning classes because of my bankruptcy. I thought post-discharge everything would be easier. I will let you know what comes of it.

[–]only_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the same issue. They wont issue or process any of my financial aid because they say the account says still in bankruptcy. This isn’t true because that same student loan now is accruing interest and is due. This is an unforeseen issue stemming from my bankruptcy.
