Thanks Lamdage22, I do hope you do get a chance to and it helps improve your life.
"Zembrin" (brand) sceletium, from what I read sounds reputable, the profits of which go to the aboriginals of South Africa possibly the ones that have been using and growing it for generations. I'm not comfortable buying from sites that sell legal high products. Although the qualtity may be the same or better. For now I'm going to stop sceletium. Maybe I'll buy some Zembrin and try it. Before I started sceletium I have to say it was in the scariest state of mind I have ever been in after being destabilized by a trial of topiramate. 3 weeks of sceletium and I have improved 90%. Was it coincidence, placebo effect, or could have possibly improved without sceletium? Impossible to know. Stopping it hasn't caused any w/d symptoms or rebound depression.
I wonder if the effects can be lasting? Curative?Decades ago a psychologist told me Nardil had a lasting curative effect that sometimes continued to keep patients depression free long after nardil was stopped. I haven't seen any mention of this anywhere.
My reasons for stopping are many. I noticed tachycardia, unusual discharge during BM, insomnia, anxiety during onset of dose. Most disturbing of all I didn't seem to get much brain work done while on it and my desk is a mess but my yard is imaculate. It may not be a good med for a professional person. The lack of studies, reliable sources to buy from make this med a little scary. Maybe they will find that it is safe to take with other serotonergic meds, AP's etc.. This would be good news.
