Trial and Error on; self medicating myself or with medications prescribed by a psychiatrist? 7+ year anhedonia

[Eiei]

Oh yea?! What will happen? will you die from it? Oh my goooood

not saying that, but we don‘t have human trials on 9mbc, all data is reddit anecdotes which don‘t really prove anything

if anyone really want to use that, you should consider other things first like dopamine fasting, therapy, things like that, and substances that are more safe like bromantane

We don't have human trials? No we don't have "official" clinical-approved human trials. Reddit or the nootropic community is full of human trials My own community is full of "trials". And the biggest issues with it are clear:

1/The photosensitivity. So a high SPF cream and avoiding sun exposure is a must. And always taking it in the very short term (max 1-2 weeks to upregulate the receptors). Also avoiding vitamin

2/ Avoid methyl b vitamins. Body requires very little methylfolate and even less methylcobalamine (b12) but even tiny amounts of 9-MBC can be neurotoxic. I'm not sure what are the interactions between 9-mbc and vitamin b12 reserves which are stored inside the liver up to 3-5 years. B12 is probably the only water soluble vitamin which is accumulated inside the body just like fat-soluble vitamins.

3/ Avoid SAMe


Yes Bromantane is the safest dopamine enhancer but for some people, it is not enough and you need a better medication approach.

no it's not genetic, thoughts in the mind can't be genetic, literally not possible.

Thank you furry<3

or caffeine, if taken rarely

thoughts on this?

how can i know that a research chemical is safe?

You don't need chemicals that give you "more neurotransmitters". Depression can't reduce to anything in the brain, or any neurotransmitter

Caffeine taken rarely down regulates your brain

So I just switch between suffering and suffering a tiny lot/being in a neutral mood state

Therapy certainly won't solve my problems as I don't have any explanation to my
Anhedonia and Fatigue

Should I self medicate myself researching on the internet or go to a psychiatrist?
I feel like the psychiatrist will just be a pussy wanting to prescribe me SSRIs and nothing else which from my research very likely will just worsen my anhedonia.

Try shrooms

Try shrooms

hell no, I had a dream that i was tripping from quetiapine today, shit I had plans on dopamine fasting with, and I actually thought it was real life and not a dream, it was a teeny bit scary but like felt good at the same time somehow
though when i did try psychedelics IRL, not sleeping, that shit haunted me for months, like months of agony.
so no thanks.

What would be the ideal caffeine regimen for wellbeing then?
Would it be quitting caffeine altogether?

Please explain it more detailed and give me sources so I can believe in it if you decide to answer. I'd appreciate that.

Interesting. What psychedelics did you do and at what dose?

You probably have a unique neurochemical make up which put you in a state of psychosis. Not sleeping is a huge sign of mania which probably means you are highly sensitive to dopamine or just take longer to reuptake dopamine. You will likely have different reactions to different drugs for example with myself I have negative reactions to weed but I can do a fuck ton of mushrooms without a problem.

You might be so right about that Mr. Tokyo Ghoul Femboy because Caffeine gives me more euphoria than Vyvanse(adhd medication)
and that shit is stronger than caffeine

I was considering antipsychotics or mild antipsychotics for dopamine fasting, at least drugs that block dopamine taken before bed but now I'm like;
it's not worth risking what I went through, the long term agony of my one time psychedelic use.
So I'll pass on that one, I'm just grateful I can experience life bliss with caffeine which I know is safe for me.

smart choice tbh. If you don't feel like doing it, don't do it.
