I suffered major depression from 2013 to 2019. I went through venlaxaxine, amitripptyline, buproprion, mirtazipine, a couple other meds, and many therapy sessions. The only one that even helped slightly was venlafaxine. I weaned off venlafaxine 3 weeks after starting microdosing of psilocybin. It was a miracle.
SSRIs and SNRIs (like those you listed) must be avoided during use of the mushroom. It can cause serotonin syndrome by releasing way too much and it gets trapped. Use only after a few weeks once you stop SNRIs / SSRIs.
Training mind and body helped me get rid of my depression.Small steps add up.Relaxation so you can calm down when stressed.Train where your attention goes so things don't get in the way of being present in the moment.
Great information, it’s refreshing to hear other avenues looked at when it comes to depression. All you see is big pharma ads for medications and ones to add when the first doesn’t work.
In how many of us is it overwhelm that we cannot personally fix? SSRIs have been useless if not harmful. My comorbidity with ADD has been a grace at times, except when the dopamine totally runs out…
Mental health doesn't get addressed enough in people with MS, even though depression and anxiety is so incredibly prevalent in this population. It's like no one thinks "hey if there are inflammatory changes happening in the brain that affect physical and cognitive abilities, can't they also drive mental health dysfunction as well"? ☹️
Benadryl actually helped my brain fog/depression and I felt that was related to inflammation. Not sure if this could help anyone but 3 Benadryl at night allowed me to wake up clear headed in the morning which previously waking up foggy was a huge factor to my depression 🤷♀️💯 if anyone else tries this and it works for them let me know!!!
I have struggled with depression since my 20's. I guess im one of the lucky 30% that found an antidepressant, Citalaphram, that works ok. I have friends who are still struggling with the terrifying depths of despair from depression. So do i periodically. Im wondering if Dr. Lindon has ever experienced it? Sure doesnt seem like it to me. Btw Im 72 now. My meds keep my head "just above water," most of the time. Settled on Celexa/Citalaphram 20 years ago, never miss a day. Plus it doesn't make me feel dead emotioally like all the other ones did. Maybe you are making progress, but not a whole lot. Yet. Hopefully, the silicybin studies will make better headway in the future.
I got back into fitness a few months ago and have really struggled with the fatigue and muscle tension aspect of depression/anxiety, I initially started by giving my self a little boost with caffeine to help combat the fatigue and then I started following a workout plan that I worked on before I had a little hiatus from fitness. After my workout and hitting the sauna I would feel a lot better mentally, my head became quiet and I felt much happier, the sauna really helps with muscle tension as well, now I look forward to getting that same feeling after a workout as an escape from depression/anxiety, so no matter how shitty I feel during my day I still have at least one thing I can look forward too at the end of it. Also setting goals helped me a lot too, after achieving small goals I felt more and more motivated towards more difficult goals which also helped me in my consistency. It's always important to set goals for what you want to achieve. Start small and let your body adjust.
my physician told me by taking venalafaxine for 35 years , changes your entire makeup... wondering if this is why you cant get off them without severe phychosis?
I'm in the 1/3 where medication has no effect. I've tried 15 different ones and none have really moved the needle. Also did Ketamine therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. I cook all my own food at home and lift and do cardio and sleep well and try to socialize and blah blah blah. Nothing works or helps. Been looking into euthanization lmao
You should try micro-dosing. I want to try it too once it becomes legal in WA state. Also, I was thinking about Ketamine therapy and TMS, how was it for you?
Have you tried therapy? I am reading a book called "A Liberated Mind: How to Pivot Toward What Matters" which covers the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am only at the beginning but I feel like it is helping me quite a bit already.
I suffered every couple of months from depression from ages 7 to 30. Looking back on it I blame it on negative thinking. When I was close to the age of 30, I read the book Meditation for Dummies. I practiced mantra meditation and would spend 45 minutes, five days a week for 18 months repeating a positive mantra in my mind. While meditating anytime my mind wandered to something else I would bring my mind back to repeating the mantra. I would write out my negative thoughts and come up with a new positive mantra contradicting negative thoughts every week. My thinking actually became more positive and I became happier. Also the book Meditation for Dummies states that feelings are not evil. The book recommends feeling feelings like anger, jealousy and fear until they go away. I was so afraid to feel these feelings due to my Christian upbringing that it was a relief to feel these feelings without the guilt trip. The book emphasized that I can feel these feelings without acting on them. Having more positive thoughts due to mantra meditation and no longer condemning myself for my feelings helped me feel happier than I had ever felt before. For the past 20 years I have rarely felt depressed and when I did it wasn't as bad as it was before I found the book Meditation for Dummies and started implementing it's teachings in my life.

Everyone just looks at SSRIs and wonders why this 1 neuro transmitter doesn't work for everyone. Woah big shocker. There's different types of depression and mine will definitely be treated by either wellbutrin or better gut biome cause this is just straight brain stew and has nothing to do with my life because my life & i are awesome.

Just a thought . Anything coming out of a lab that involves the in humane treatment of animals will be cursed with negative side effects just based on bad karma alone . God can’t reward torture !
@@ProgressWithChristina its much more serious - most people want to come off them because they are emotionally blunted, unable to feel. Others develop akathisia, others complete suicide, others lose the ability to feel anything in the genitals, and post SSRI sexual dysfunction can be permanent, other gain weight, others lose weight, some develop insomnia and the list goes on
the term 'anti depressant' is a marketing term and there are is no such thing - they are drugs with a range of drug effects, but generally they suppress, numb, sedate, or stimulate/agitate the nervous system.
@@futures2247 they are horrible and I wish I would’ve known more about the side effects of coming off them. Dizziness and extreme fatigue is another one.
What's driving the inflammatory response? Food-like substances, high sugar, high LA, chronic stress, nutritional deficiencies, etc.

Diet and lifestyle are always overlooked.
Even if they are not the cause, they certainly help in alleviating the pain from depression.
Yes I agree

How are people supposed to excercise when they have extreme fatigue, muscle tension, exhaustion from depression/anxiety?
You start really small and slowly build over time 🙏

my fatigue is so extreme just starting is not possible….it is such a vicious cycle
Same. The insomnia keeps me depleted.
It does. Cox 2 inhibitiors for depression studies exists

Totally skeptical.
i used epitalon, thymalin and oxytocin. it went away in a day
😂
heil yes. these are dawgs right here.
Nice
❤❤❤
All i learned here was scientists still have no idea what causes deppressuon much less how to treat it

What is depression?

Our society has systematically removed God, community, family, real food, sunlight, nature and exercise and we wonder why we are depressed
True 👍 ✔️
Good point man, thats answer for depression and anxiety
Couldn't have said it better Mrs Robinson. Jesus loves you
I am glad god is removed from matters of man.

best medicine is sun and not think too much!
Healthy food and avoiding snacks . Exercising regularly and good sleeping habit can prevent depression according to my experiences.
