Four key Withdrawal Symptoms Explained -Anders Sorensen

That's a really good article and convenient to listen. It's helped to break apart the many separate disturbances I get reducing dose. SSRI'S interfere with so many switches and levers at once it's almost hard to fathom.

Right, it’s unknown what it really is.
I have not taken it.

General Diet Conversation

@Nemina Nemina, thanks for sharing your reason. But we could agree that it's stays unknown if this is really a brain injury, right? I don't know, I felt that it worked like a stimulant, like nicotine and beyond that there is probably not any real benefit. Did you noticed anything else? Anything meaningful?

Taking 100 mg of it daily was ok.

General Diet Conversation

Hello @The Dust , I read a bit about it, there are different studies that suggests that it helps people with brain injury. But I am not very open for experiments at this stage of my life. All of us have to be very careful with any kind of medicine or supplements.

General Diet Conversation

Why exactly are you interested in trying it? I tried regular thiamine and, I don't know, in "smaller" doses is somehow pleasant, but when I tried megadose (ovedose) for gut and it was so focking hardcore, like nicotine overdosing induced "brainzapsing"! But my colon started working like machine gun... A trip! A legal drug!

Water retention and not able to lose weight or weight gain during/after a taper/microtaper — anyone else?

I used to lose weight quite easily if I watched my diet and listened to my body.

My whole hunger system and metabolism seems to be completely altered. I don’t get strong hunger cues and saturation cues so I don’t know my body’s needs.

I am the heaviest I have ever been… it’s way harder for me to lose weight..

Water retention and not able to lose weight or weight gain during/after a taper/microtaper — anyone else?

Yes, I feel like I have gained weight during my taper. I have always been a slim person, and I didn't gain any weight while on this medication. In fact, it seemed like no matter what I ate while on my full dose I didn't gain! But I also could not put on any muscle despite being in the gym for over a year. However this year, I did notice that changed and I have been building muscle steadily now but I've also been bloating up these past few months despite regular exercise and healthy eating. I feel very thick, and I'm not sure if it's truly fat or water retention. I did notice about a year ago I would randomly fluctuate every few months, sometimes feeling slim and energetic and then alternating to flabby and lethargic. I assumed this was related to water retention and certain hormones "coming back online" in spurts so to speak. But now it seems I am stuck at feeling thick and flabby.

I haven't tried losing weight since over a year, as it was too much stress on my nervous system at the time and I don't want to push things. But I understand your feelings of frustration, I'm hoping things will change once I'm completely off the medication. I just want to feel energetic in the gym again and to be able to fit my old clothes!!
