j1290 Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 DAY 40 I'm sure I haven't typed Day 40 before. Seems like I've been hanging around on this 100mg forever now. Its been really convenient to handle some situations while my emotions aren't neuro-spicy(shoutout to LB!). I ordered some little brown jars so I can do bupropion shooters when I switch to all liquid my next cut. I feel pretty even keeled more often than not, but I'd bet that cumulatively things are firming up emotionally in the background. I still have quite a lot of brain fog, some heavy head sensation and pressure, a little headache, a little irritability. Overall things are trending upwards, and I'm not having as many vivid dreams. Exercise and getting out in nature have been a huge benefit, as well as reengaging socially. 3 I am not a doctor and do not offer any medical advice, only my own experience. Consult your physician. 2011-2015 tapered off 300MG of Effexor. Back in the Paxil Progress days.

Its been really convenient to handle some situations while my emotions aren't neuro-spicy(shoutout to LB!). I ordered some little brown jars so I can do bupropion shooters when I switch to all liquid my next cut. I feel pretty even keeled more often than not, but I'd bet that cumulatively things are firming up emotionally in the background. I still have quite a lot of brain fog, some heavy head sensation and pressure, a little headache, a little irritability. Overall things are trending upwards, and I'm not having as many vivid dreams. Exercise and getting out in nature have been a huge benefit, as well as reengaging socially. Sounds like you’re firmly heading in the right direction.

Completely and utterly different 8 minutes ago, littlebird said: YES! ADs were made relatively recently in labs by humans, psilocybin evolved for a really long time and has been a part of human culture (and healing) since ancient times. For good reason! Totally different experience than ADs. Also strong medicine, and worth going into with people you trust. #1 rule for psychedelics: choose your company and locale carefully. This 1 Age 16 (1995 - 2000) -Paroxetine Age 21 (2000-2004) - Effexor 37.5mg Age 24 (2004-2012) - Lexapro (70mg), Xanax minimum 2mg Xanax a day About 32 (2012-2017?) - Every mood stabiliser under the sun (not at the same time) and minimum 2mg Xanax a day; occasional amisulpride About 35 (2017-current) - Lurasidone 80 mg, quickly titrated down to 40mg, Pristiq (50 mg), minimum of 2mg Xanax a day About 41 (2020) Switched from Xanax to clonazepam and started tapering at 0.125 mg each reduction, tapered off Pristiq with a cross taper at the end, low dose of dextroamphetamine. Age 42 (2021) Tried to taper off Lurasidone three times. Quick taper from 40mg to 0 mg over a couple of months the first time. Reinstated at 20mg. Tried twice more to taper from 20 mg to 0 mg dropping by 5 mg each reduction (about every 2 weeks). Age 42-43 (April 2022) 20mg-18mg; May 18mg-16mg; June 16-14mg; September 14-12mg; September 12-14mg reinstated. February 2023 - hiccup with brand change, Back to Apotek brand and switch to homemade suspension. Age 44 (August 2023 -restarted clonazepam taper). Start dose 0.375mg. 1/9/2023 - 0.365mg; 1/10/2023 - 0.324mg; 1/11/2023 - 0.264mg; 1/12/2023 - 0.25 mg (holding); 1/2/2024 - 0.232mg; 1/3/2024 - 0.221mg; 1/4/2024 - 0.205mg; Health regimen: walks, hot/cold showers, ice baths, breathwork, mostly healthy diet, therapy......

Adjusted slowly till at 60mg 3x a day, much better. Long hold till -> December 2023: 54mg, still feels too high after November Seroquel switch from brand name to generic, doc recommended 50mg which feels better -> January 2024: When Wellbutrin went down, Gabapentin started putting me to sleep, went down to 45mg, then 41mg to stay awake, so far so good -> February 2024: 36mg, still too high, 34mg -> March 2024: 31mg, STILL too high, 30mg Supplements: Multivitamin w/magnesium, probiotics, digestive enzymes, anti-viral nitric oxide nose spray as needed Link to comment
