So let me start by saying that the first 2-3 weeks were a nightmare for me. My depression was at its peak, anxiety was off the wall. I partied a lot while on it and it was an awful idea, hangovers were the worst, I was saying a lot of suicidal thoughts. Everyone told me to stop the drug but I'm very stubborn and I stayed on it because I believed the drug will work. I had extreme nausea, tiredness, yawning, and hated myself so much.
However, the last week has actually been really well. I feel like the drug is working/my body is getting used to it. I'm not 100% yet but the side effects are almost all gone. I'm still partying (I'm actually in Thailand so I just had to lol) and it's not really effecting me a ton anymore.
If you believe in the drug, stick with it because in my opinion, it does work. I can finally talk to my parents about subjects I was to scared to talk about, I'm not so worried anymore, I don't think too much about anything bad anymore. I can make faster decisions.
I do not recommend drinking at all! I just wanted to do it, but I advise you not too. This is just my experience.
Talking to everyone about it also helped a lot, traveling to Thailand probably really helped me mentally as well, I write in my journal very frequently.
Whoever has any questions, please let me know. I want to help as many people as I can. We are all in this together :)
Happy New year! I'll keep you all posted on month 2
