copied from Imminst:

don't know how useful this actually is to anyone given my med responses are so unusual, but anyway .. I cut out the anti-histamine (Doxylamine Succinate) last night and actually noticed a considerable improvement today.

I was a little bit sleep deprived, which normally improves my mood, but the dysphoria, irritability etc. went away and I actually felt quite happy, albeit a little bit hyperactive and giddy at times. Subtle sense of calm, better stress tolerance and mood a bit more stable though mental anxiety still there. Colors are also enhanced and hedonic tone improved -- it feels like a milder Memantine, which had similar effects, though caused more anxiety.

Downsides are muscle tension (a lot of jaw clenching), difficulty breathing and considerable fatigue. I also get this weird, hollow, restless sensation in my legs/arms.

Anyway, I still don't understand why a glutamate uptake enhancer would cause what feel like dopaminergic effects (on top of RLS). It's a state that doesn't feel like it would be sustainable/enjoyable in the long-term (particularly with the muscle tension and poor sleep) but I'm thinking of hanging on a week longer at this dose, before trying to raise it? My instinct has been to try even lower to reduce side-effects but maybe it's not worth it if some kind of adaptation occurs. It just sucks having no real guidance in this trial, particularly when I'm getting unusual (side)effects, the supply is limited by cost and there's so few decent accounts online. If anyone has any advice, or could even speculate on what I'm experiencing, please feel free.

Ordered Mangosteen (5-HT antagonist) and lithium orotate to try and improve sleep quality.
