I took lexapro for six months. Have never felt the same since. That was over 10 years ago. When I say crash, it’s like overstimulated but exhausted. Usually anything stimulating will have this effect on me. Even caffeine. But honestly now that I’m remembering those beginning days on...

I did try imipramine if you were curious about that one. It was actually a Med that helped a lot for a couple weeks, especially with emotional blunting. then I crashed. Also gave me bad headaches. If you don’t have fatigue then you might fair better than me.

I haven’t tried any but did try mucuna pruriens and had a bad response. Anything that pushes my dopamine I will feel great for a few days and then crash. But I have severe fatigue as well.

Yes I have all those symptoms as well. Just so you know I am female. I have been dealing with this for 10 years now. And I have tried everything and then some. So I started this only four days ago. It works fairly quickly. It has completely cleared my brain fog and I’ve noticed music...

I have to agree with this. I don’t understand how balancing minerals is going to reverse ssri induced damage. There are lots of people with mineral imbalances that don’t have our symptoms. Also, a drug permanently put us in this state. What’s to say another Med couldn’t put us in a better...

Me too. I always thought it was cortisol related since alcohol raises cortisol.

I can’t believe I just discovered the use of intranasal insulin. I just wanted to let everyone know that I started this four days ago and I cannot believe the positive effects it’s having for me. In case anyone would like to do further research look to healthrising.com. Not to go into my...

The problem with this study is in quite sure they were using prometrium and not bio identical progesterone. Any synthetic hormone is going to cause endocrine distruption. I used bio progesterone while pregnant. Guess I will find out in the years to come!

Anyone heard of these anarchists. I love the whole concept of making drugs and driving down costs. And apparently they have five different meds now with instructions on how to make them, including mifepristone. Four Thieves Vinegar

No, all you have to do is upload your 23 and me data to genetic genie. It is free. As an update, this is day three for me in the lithium and my libido is definitely up. I had this weird sensation in my head, like receptors that haven’t been working we’re getting stimulated. And a twitching...

I was wondering if anyone has gotten their genetic profiles done? It would be interesting to compare our genes and any common mutations in regards to our conditions. For instance, I suffer from pssd. And I’m homogenous for both COMTs. These mutations cause neurotransmitters and estrogens to...

This thr ad is interesting as I have tried numerous treatments/antivirals for my cfs. And I would feel a little better on say valtrex, but as soon as I would go off I would feel all my symptoms again. So I didn’t find them helpful long term. Anyone know why potassium would make me so tired...

*by herpes I mean cold sores. Which is the hhv6 virus I thought?

In my case, i constantly had herpes outbreaks growing up. Then I take ssri, and bam I’m full blown chronic fatigue. Ebv titers super high. But in 10 years with cfs, only two cold sores. Both times I noticed major improvements in my chronic fatigue. Almost like immune system is not even...

I feel exactly the same! I have had a few moments when I come back online and I’m blown away how far gone I am from the person I used to be.

I agree. I have super high ebv, hhv6, cmv, and borderline autoimmune lupus, etc. bartonella also high. But it seems that these medications wreak havoc with immune system and suddenly viruses and bacterias that we’re suppose to be in check now cause problems. I know my immune system changed...

I have high fibrogen. It was tested when I went to a chronic fatigue specialist, and is common in cfs. Doc explained it as sticky blood. However, I could already tell by the way my legs turn purple while standing in one place to long. And this started during my ssri withdrawal. Never had it...

Carrot seed oil. I use it on my son

I took licorice root for quite a while and found it nothing like Ella. Maybe on paper, but not from my personal experience.

I started restore about five days ago. It’ definitely has improved my digestion. I usually have loose stools and this helped quite quickly. First few days it upset my stomach.
