Re: End of my PSSD journey

IMO, your best bet for complete reversal is low dose Lithium + 18g Inositol. It's going to suck, but one has to bite the bullet and go through it. Lithium can induce a reversible nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. It's self-limiting and reversible, but it's important for me to mention it. Also, Lithiu...

Re: Postsynaptic 5HT1A desensitization and my "triad of evil" hypothesis

Re: Postsynaptic 5HT1A desensitization and my "triad of evil" hypothesis

Postsynaptic 5HT1A receptors activation is the main reason for MDMA's empathogenic and pro-social effects. I've read people taking MDMA shortly, maybe a month or two after getting off an SSRI, can have a complete lack of these empathogenic and pro-social effects, even with no prior history of any a...
