So midweek into my third week on NSI at 20mgx2 daily, and some distinct changes have occurred and i'm wondering if anyone else had the same response. The first two weeks were a nice buildup of seemingly increases in emotional feelings, vision and senses. For the past three days or so, all the benefits seemed to halt, and now left feeling kind of flat and tired (very unusual for me). I feel worse than my baseline basically, and have been very tired and its been hard to get out of bed in the am. I'm wondering if i am entering a small pocket of time where some distinct changes are taking place? Has anyone else experienced some ups and down on NSI? I also have a persistent eyelid twitch on my left upper eye lid that is a location i have never had a twitch. Overall i just feel "blank", numb perhaps.
What you describe is what happened to me towards the end of my first cycle as well - it's the reason I quit the drug, since I figured I had already met the ultimate end-point of the treatment - that this was a signal that no further neurogenesis is necessary.
However, I fairly quickly noticed that I hadn't actually cured my chronic fatigue and bad mood, caused by burnout, so I've had two shorter cycles since - curing doing my third, and probably final, cycle.
Every time I went on the second cycles, the feeling was much more quickly back - a feeling of tired and sort of numb - less emotional feeling, almost a bit anhedonic.
Not sure what it signifies, it might mean that you might need a short break from the NSI? Or, it's just how everyone feels when the REAL, BIG changes to neural structure start occuring.
But then... that wouldn't be pro-cognitive or mood-improving, now would it? More like the opposite!
Do you have any issues with chronic fatigue, or burnout, like me? Because I seem to be the only one which has had the same truly big change in its effects, after a not too long of a treatment-cycle. Perhaps it has something to do with mitochondrial activity? I'm going to start considering myself cured of hippocampal damage after this cycle, because honestly, this hits too fast now, it has to signify SOMETHING - probably that I'm healed neurologically, and now I need to focus on the fatigue-issues instead.
