thanks for these informations.
I took my first dose today of 20mg of Nsi phosphate.
I suffer from apathy, emotional numbness,anhedonia,blank mind,anxiety, a kind of dissociation/ego death/depersonnalization and pressure around the head. I tried a lot of drugs but they worsen my condition. At the moment no effect felt. Can I increase the dose to 40mg from tomorrow? I take it in oral form
Sure, most people take 40 mg per day - it was, after all, concluded to be the most effective dosage for the majority of patients.
Just two things:
1. Since you have anxiety... please be aware that NSI-189 can make anxiety worse for some people - don't be afraid to combine NSI-189 with an SSRI to combat any worsened symptoms of anxiety - ideally, you should probably have been using an SSRI to subjugate anxiety BEFORE you started using NSI-189.
2. NSI-189 is NOT intended for the treatment of Depersonalisation/Derealization - please keep this in mind - some people have posted that they found it helpful, but there is nothing to suggest that neurogenesis is a treatment of DP/DR - it seems to be more some kind of imbalance in the glutamatergic/opioid networks, which may be triggered WITHOUT depressive symptoms - this can be seen in the many people whom are stricken with DP/DR from drug-abuse, without prior, nor even after the event, depressive symptoms.
Just be aware of this, ok? It might help with anhedonia and emotional numbness, at least to some extent, but it's not created for the treatment of DP/DR
And yes, NSI-189 is safe to be used with an SSRI - well, at least tentatively, as the drug has been trialled as an adjunct to traditional antidepressant treatment, and there are plenty of reports of users taking it in the wild with ssri's and snri's without issue.
If NSI-189 doesn't work, I suggest you look into Lamotrigine, Modafinil and Tianeptine - they're all glutamate-modulators and the first two actually have evidence to support their efficacy in DP/DR.
Small "honking of the horn" btw, but there is a Group Buy for ANOTHER experimental antidepressant trying to get off the ground in the forums - CERC-501 - a selective KAPPA antagonist.
The Kappa Opioid network seems to be involved with the symptoms of DP/DR - and compounds are being trialled as we speak, with the intention of treating DP/DR. I suggest that you read up on the data on Kappa and DP/DR, and if you find the data credible, then have a look at joining that group buy - we only need 4-5 more people to make it a reality, so you'd be a valuable and welcome recruit.
