Mornings are HARD. I have zero motivation to get out of bed. Major brain fog, etc. I wait until the last minute to feel that urgency and fear of being late... and I am late 95% of the time.
I don’t take my meds right when I wake up because I noticed that if I do, I am toast/drained or overstimulated by early afternoon. I am currently on Adderall, maybe I should switch?
The only thing that works for me and balances my brain is rubbing one out. I get a quick dopamine fix, and then I can function. I have to do this every morning (to wake my brain up) and at night (to help me sleep, lol). I just accepted it and came to terms with the fact that if this is what it takes for me to function, so be it.
How do y'all handle your mornings?
Ugh I feel you. I‘m on Vyvanse and stuck in the longest depressive phase I‘ve ever had. Started Wellbutrin (150mg, now 300mg) in Oct.
I‘ve had good moments since, but the days have just been passing by, I don‘t really do much, stay at home and don‘t socialise, it‘s all a blur. Hardly any strong emotions and I‘m just tired 24/7 but still can‘t sleep. It could be the depression, but it could also be Wellbutrin causing the opposite of what I‘ve been hoping for.
Was that similar for you? I really find it hard to know whether it‘s just the depression or also the med. I‘m happy about any insight!
Damn I wish we were more open to psilocybin research. Thanks Nixon etc
I relate to a lot of what you‘ve said, especially the fish bowl. I almost feels like a filler episode of a sitcom stuck on repeat. And all the interesting scenes have been cut.
I‘ve made good experiences with fungi friends, but never tried microdosing. Do you have experience pairing them with stimulants or know someone? I‘m on Vyvanse and would like to stay on it I think
I‘m so sorry you‘ve also been in this, it really sucks. And I appreciate you sharing your experience!
I have an appt. with my psychiatrist mid Jan and told myself that if things don‘t improve by then, I‘ll ask to get off.
Were or are you on any stimulants while microdosing?
I‘ve taken psilocybin a handful of times, not micro but also not hero doses and have always had a good experience. It‘s been years though and also pre-diagnosis. I might just give it another shot. I think I could even ask my psychiatrist about it, he is really cool.

Following. I‘m on Wellbutrin (2 months) and it hasn‘t really been working out for me, curious about an alternative.
