John Smith

Actually, i do get that tingling pleasurable feeling that does come in epic moments in films and songs...it's become rare now though, since my emotions are pretty blunted, but before id get it pretty often...only after i started shroomin though, i just figured it made me more emotional, which it did...kind of ironic

http://www.dpselfhelp.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18746-read-this-if-you-want-to-recover/ Any ideas on whether this would make any of our symptoms worse? Granted, im only starting to do research on this now, but I'm interested in some of your preliminary thoughts...

I actually got no negative side effects from NAC that I can discern apart from a slight headache and eye pain the first maybe 2 days i took it...id also recommend taking it without food so it's easier for the chemicals to cross the blood brain barrier and not get digested along with all the food...im taking two pills at night, occasionally one during the day, but it's completely arbitrary, i dont wanna over do it

Yes man it permanently worsens your symptoms, not to be harsh, but stopping trying to get someone to tell you what you want to hear, i cant tell you how many times ive read about alcohol sending people over the edge into hppd hell, i for one am living proof that it can make EVERY symptom worse.

hey uknowme, just curious, did your hppd go away and then come back? if so, do you know the reason for it?

Okay so it might be a bit premature to tell, but i do feel like the NAC and Tyrosine are helping because after two months of nothing (my symptoms actually got a bit worse) i have been noticing an improvement in my cognitions and DPDR, and to a slight degree, afterimages. It's slight, but it's there...i also started doing cardio on the same day as i started taking these supplements so that might have something to do with it.

I dont think i can get used to calling you G Lundgren...can i just stick to Merkan? I guess for some people thats true, but it also depends on how people like merkan feel at the moment...are your symptoms still incredibly better or has the honeymoon period worn off? If it's all still good, then i guess the problem is with variations between people...many have certainly experienced improvements in cognition from keppra...hard to placebo yourself like that...

i guess it just shows which areas of my cognition are most affected, and then he can hone in on an area of my brain, depending on their corresponding functions...yea it's dumb, but i just figure if it gets me through his door again talking about meds i might be able to get a script in the future

Just wondering...lately my derealization has been flaring up, just wondering whether trees and stuff look strange to you guys? This used to only happen with my hands, but now if i look at a tree, i know it's a tree, but it looks very pipe-like and strange and it makes me anxious as hell...is this how it is for you guys?

Really? i wasnt able to pass out til like 5 am and then i would take 4 valerian and within half an hour, regardless of what time i took it, id start feeling drowzy...also helps me when im really tired, it has a paradoxical effect like that for me, if im tired and i take it, it pretty much makes it impossible to fall asleep, so it helps my fatigue quite a bit.... you also gotta watch which valerian you take, some supplements have like 300mgs a pill and recommend to take 2 pills which is nothing...the 4 i take add up to like 2120 mgs so it makes a world of difference.

Didnt know where to post, figured this would be the best spot...went to the neurologist, was hesitant to give me sinemet, instead sent me to get a neuropsychiatric exam so he could pinpoint what areas of my cognition were affected and thus close in on the brain areas that need help...fucking sucks...gotta wait 3 weeks til the exam when my insurance goes through and then who knows...back to being perma bummed

Tried valerian? helped me, but then again i wouldnt really consider anxiety to have been one of my major issues...it's all about dp for me :/

I started NAC and tyrosine yesterday as well, i havent really noticed any difference except that my ears dont feel as clogged after i take them, but thats most likely from the tyrosine. Anyone else take that btw?

True, makes sense

Just wondering, if adderall increases dopamine and nonrepinephrine, then why does it affect our symptoms so negatively?

I overdid it and now everything's worse.

Just because it's gone away doesnt mean it isnt there...take it from me...i had sooo many symptoms go away, kept smokin, they all amplified 10 fold...you dont want this kind of regret, just give yourself a long while, if the head pressure is still there then chances are against you in that it probably will come back.

I hate to cast aspersions, but he could just be some bitter, crazy tweaker trying to get people to fuck themselves up even more.

Just wondering, what's the recommended dosage of Sinemet and do you guys take the regular or extended release tablets?

You should try to stop drinkin for a while, you might still get better if you give your brain a chance...personally alcohol played a large part in turning my visual snow and light trails into depersonalization body pains and cognitive issues, it still fucks your shit up.

What were your side-effects?

Im gonna try to get it on Tuesday, im not on klonopin so ill let you guys know if and how that goes.

Yeah, im actually livin at home for now, i just had to go up to school for about a week to take 2 exams...but yeah, next time im definitely putting everything on the table and letting them know...it's strange though...i know that my symptoms got worse because of it, but ive been happier ever since, articulating more as well, although the exterior world know looks somewhat unfamiliar, which blows...i really dont get this disorder at all.

I think that this is the same guy who a while ago posted about recovering with Mirtazapine and 3 grams of klon...i saw that post too...i guess hes either bullshittin us or bullshitin them.
