Anxiety

Chronic anxiety is usually down to biology and not psychology. So I would look into different territories if something is missing, deficient, etc. For instance, what helped me a shit tone was taurine. Turns out, I was deficient, or something idk. But 3g of taurine feels almost the same as 300mg of gabapentin, go figure.

So, common things to try are:

- NMDA modulation via magnesium glycine or maybe memantine
- Taurine for upregulation of glutamine to gaba transformation and taurine by it self also acts at gaba a receptor
- Serotonin HT1A partial agonists like CBD or Buspirone
- SSRI's for long term treatment of serotonin based anxiety which is also kinda HT1a dependent, but also HT2c and HPA overactivation
- Fixing a dysregulated HPA axis with adaptogens; rhodiola rosea, tribulus terestis, ashwagandha, etc ...

Seeing as you are on a huge ass cycle bro, your anxiety is for sure upregulated from that. That is imo not even a question. Are you anxiety prone otherwise? Off cycle?
Yes the cycle has not raised it at all. I was always like this, in highschool too.

All this info is great.

Is there a way to get tested to see if anything is off? Instead of just trial and error.

I have taurine at home too.

Probably, but not to my knowledge. Try taking 3g's taurine on an empty stomach. Wait 2 hours, see how you feel.

You also have gaba modulators. Forgot to mention. Etifoxine, kava kava, selank, etc.

Have you ever tried ssri's? Or maybe maoi's? Or any treatment prescribed by a psych?

Are you an angry person? Violent?

Will give that a go when home after gym.

Yes all the anti anxiety/depression crap the side effects outweigh taking them.

Least violent person in the world.

Starting to think it could some type of adhd or somethiing

I do hear etoxifine works well from a couple people here
 
I go into psycosis when i smoke pot, i hear things that are litterally not there.
Then better not smoke lol!

I think it's all the gear that you're taking. I've felt the same thing when I ran higher dosages. Try to find gear that makes you feel good. Low dose test and dianabol is nice!

Yesss, my anxiety is very adhd dependant. Give me dopamine and anxiety is severely reduced. Especially social anxiety. But you probably have a dysregulated hpa axis and you need to treat that first as it's a self perpetuating circle. So do look into rodiola and other adaptogens.

Regarding ssri's, have you tried subclinical dosages? For example, 2.5 - 5mg of escitalopram, or 12.5 - 25mg sertraline ...

Yes i tried sub clinical 75 mg wellbutrin, wellbutrin sucked. Half of what they start

I did 10 mg prozac, prozac is awful.
Cymbalta was crappy, i was a numb zombie, and i couldnt cum no matter what i did.
Waiting 6 weeks and having 3x the anxiety then i already have waiting for it to equalize is awful. It was so debilitating.
But i like that idea using smaller then what they start you at. Will give lexapro and zoloft a go and try half what they start at.


Will try thes others you have out there and see how it goes.
The vitamins and such.

Would stresam show up false positive for anything? I would like to try this one too.

So with rodiloa is there a specific ingredient looking for, kind of like tumeric and curcumin. As its not the tumeric your looking for its the curcumin.

If you took normal dosages of ssri's then yes, your reactions were normal. But as I said, lower dosages might work much better. Also, adding ht2c antagonists like mirtazapine or agomelatine, trazadone, might help, or should help, in reducing sexual side effects. But the problem is that the ht1a receptor shows lower binding in chronic ssri treatement, if I'm not mistaken, so buspirone or cbd might be of benefit. But be careful, combining so much stuff isn't exactly something you'd want to do, although an ssri's + ht2c antagonist is a proven combo ...

But you have to find the underlying problem not just throw a bunch of stuff at it. So I'd start with magnesium, adaptogens, and stuff like taurine, that is more "natural" (not that that really matters).

Keep in mind though, that a lot of adaptogens also work by modulating the serotonin system.
 
400mg or more testosterone stack with winstrol or some strong dht = super arrogant, zero anxiety, no limits, fucking dick to everyone around and overinflated ego and confidence.

No, I don't need or want that, but this happens.
 
Who has terribly bad anxiety? What medications do you take?

I get drug tested so i cant take benzos or else i would.

Gabapentin did help but in order for it to work have to take it 4-5 times a day. Which i would like to take something 1x a day.

Anyone have any insight?
Whatever you do, don’t ever get on a benzo. Benzos mess your gaba receptors up so bad, and it can take years to get off and fully heal.

I’ve been on benzos for insomnia for years, and am currently microtapering to get off. It was get off them or up my dose due to tolerance.

Anyway, go look into benzo withdrawal. Long term use (they were never intended to be used more than a few weeks) can lead to some horrible conditions. I’m part of some benzo groups on FB and the daily stories of people’s struggles are so bad. Many suicides from non stop withdrawal symptoms, akathesia, deep depression, and the list goes on.

Please, anyone who reads this, do not get on benzos. Find out what is actually causing your problem and deal with. Benzos just push it away and can make it much worse in the long run.
