Anyone used methylene blue for anxiety?

Don’t it will give serotonin syndrome (esp with SSRIs/SNRIs),

As well as overstimulation/anxiety spike, blood pressure changes, headaches/nausea


alternate: magnesium glycinate or l-theanine for baseline anxiety, propranolol if it’s physical/somatic, low-dose selank if you want anxiolysis without stimulation

I’ve used propranolol before and it kinda works. Will try l-theanine. I don’t take any SSRIs so i thought serotonin syndrome shouldn’t be an issue with MB

yeah the risk is way lower without SSRIs, but mb is still an mao-i so stacking or dosing wrong can be bad.

also anxiety can worsen just from stimulation alone. if propranolol helps you, that already tells you it’s adrenergic anxiety, so theanine or magnesium makes more sense than mb.

Right thanks I’ll try l theanine first, I do take magnesium now and then and haven’t really noticed much.
