Really scary short term memory issues

It didn’t in my case. I was on clonazepam for a year. It did, however create some new cognitive issues that are very slowly going away (but may be permanent)

Good find!

Hey man, really old post but wondering if you ended up trying the rife machine?

Yeah I think there’s a good chance we actually have more neuronal connections in places that aren’t meant to have them - particularly for the more psychedelic symptoms. Psychadelics have been shown to increase neuronal connections, which is why it’s becoming attractive as a treatment option for depression. but it could be a combination of the death of inhibitory neurons and a bit of the above mixed in. in any case. Not uncomplicated in the least…

Stuff like this I assume https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/psychedelic-drugs-change-structure-neurons

I've been chatting with the people at a stem cell clinic in Colorado that seems to get good results with people who have traumatic brain injuries, and I've been in touch with them. The treatment is something I'm able to afford - it's about 12,500 USD - I'd be taking it out of my mortgage - but I'm also concerned that it might make things worse because of something my psychiatrist said, which is that HPPD symptoms possibly are a result of having too many connections between neurons, and there's the risk that stem cells could get in there and strengthen those connections thinking they're fixing things. I know - a lot to take in. But if anyone has any theories about this I'd love to hear them! Hope you're all doing as best as you can. This is a mighty fucked up thing we have. Joe

Anyone heard about this? ISRIB is a small molecule that’s reversed cognitive decline in mice. I’ve read messageboards where a guy used it and felt like his working memory was increased dramatically. Potential broad applications for many neurological diseases. you can buy it on alibaba if you want to Guinea pig it might be interesting https://longevity.technology/news/calicos-memory-enhancing-drug-reverses-age-related-mental-decline/amp/

Thanks mate. A good reminder.

Where you buying it from? I might be keen

Ah - I saw in another thread - you tried it and it didn't work...4mg Bummer

do go on?

Hey man - I know it's a while since you've posted in this thread - but did you get any further with your thoughts on the etiology of it all? Would you still recommend your niacin stack - or do you think there's potentially less chance of it working if neurons are lost? or do you think it might help to regrow axons (going from the interneuron loss theory)? I've been taking the stack - it seems to help with my mood, it seems to have subdued some of the trippier elements of my visuals but not the more recalcitrant long lasting symptoms...it's only been a week though. Anyway just wondering if you're still confident that based on your most recent reading if you think it's still likely a good treatment. Oh - and love all your work mate. I'm sure I can say for everyone here that you're incredibly appreciated. Joe

All of these meds were started after I got full blown - I never needed them before. I'm on lamotrigine - I don't think it does anything...or at least what it does is very minimal. I'm also on reboxetine and mirtazapine - both of which don't help my mood as much as exercise does. I'm in the process of coming off reboxetine and mirtazapine. The clonazepam does something - or at least it did - at lower doses like 1mg which I'm currently on. But I want to come off it, because it gives me erectile dysfunction. Not nearly as badly as the reboxetine (it's so, so bad for that for me at least. Also gives me premature ejaculation). The clon also gives me memory issues.

Yeah I've heard horror stories
