---JUST use TEI. AND the diet, exercise. If need be electrolytes later. IF in horrible health esp. mentally, water fast first. THEN TEI.
--right now you're getting an ADHD answer from someone who was barely an adult when it happened.
--Deleting.
-Wrote long answer.
-Basically, didn't exactly know what to focus on and didn't have the vocab I do now, bc I was partially lobotomized by Effexor and I was 19 or 20. ended 21. Fixed 23 or later.
-Basically: was an addict, untreated manic depressive (not so bad, can be severe less often), untreated ADHD (pretty G'd up regardless), and in a lot of trouble, and pssd, and some other stuff all at once....
---> did use one illegal stimulant, but really... dopamine agonists and NE help sexual drive and more imp for me: FOCUS... so focusing/ just did all those workouts, fasted training, quit alcohol, cut off friends (and actually didn't give a fuck at all), kept my head down, forced work and school, eventually better.
--made school and work and life more possible, but was really self-medication for sure. functional addiction., like alcohol before it but more productive. but was still sad.
-sex drive came back, but relnships and all that were still pretty tough. difficult to trust people and again, learned about ADHD like several yrs later, BPII even after that.
-But knew there was a couple issues. --started by leaving, then getting sober, ditching a bad situation, then just working out walking running lifting (a lot, more than now)...
-Like I worked out 320 + times this year. And couldn't stand till January 25 or so and was refeeding well into late March. i worked out MORE back then.
GLAD mostly worked or did work.
BUT TEI would have been better. esp., at 21 or so, to be able to trust some program? Plus helps render asthma, mood disorder, etc nearly insignificant. (and insomnia comes with the latter). Can't say same about ADHD, but who cares. ADHD is a joke versus PFS or suicidal ideation. Just don't be an engineer, electrician, pilot...
I believe they were both major set backs. I believe I got into Coke bc I didn't have coping mechanisms FOR ANY OF THE STUFF that transpired. ---> but it was also for adhd, plus new friends, self medication. But really, it was for mood too. TEI is better than that. ---hiding a drug addiction while remaking your academic career, finances, etc... and pssd, and avoiding/escaping some shady stuff that happened (also drug related), is pretty fucked up, looking back.
--I strongly believe TEI can cure PFS but 3 or more cycles. I think mood disorder etc too. Also PSSD. --- But the rest has to be there, strong work ethic... sports/gym, clean diet, correct calories, ideally correct sleep regimen also. and focusing on other things/ not only on recovery, seeing friends etc. sounds like bs, but best i can say rite now. PSSD was almost a third of my life ago.
-Took like 2.5 years to see a family doctor 4 years to get on ADD meds, another 3-6months to actually trust the situation enough to titrate them, and 2 more years to try a mood stabilizer. --that's how bad effexor xr was in my case. ---also why I obsessively worked out/ had to do something, also journalled/wrote a ton daily, music, etc too.
-Stims (Some basically 2 and long run 1, the rest are horrible in my experience and all the lives I've seen destroyed with them), work 8/10. Choline 7-8/10. myb more.
-sometimes essential like in law or a phd or some other (grinding work, necessity for some careers).
-BUT TEI actually works better for 4/5 issues. I.e. asthma, mood, insomnia, pfs. not so much adhd, but for the above hypotheticals/ do em when cured or use it then.
-I consider anavar but TEI is healthier.... and does it really actually matter to be 10 or 9% bodyfat versus 13 or 14.... not really.
EDIT: yes it does matter. LEANNESS VASCULARITY HAIR AND SHININESS OVER ALL. PLUS CAREER, MONEY, and TRUE FRIENDSHIP. INTEGRITY, FOCUS, DISCIPLINE, ETC.
AND THE PURSUIT OF A PURE SEXUAL HIGH.
