Just been described buspar and prozac for my anxiety and depression. Deciding to get better for my spring semester of university. Anyone have good experiences with either?
Wish I could give you some exact tips but I can say that you will definitely have to give the drugs time to work.

I suggest keeping a journal so you can write down how you feel through out the day.

Then you'll have a better grasp on what changed and what hasn't, so you can then talk to your doc and go from there.

I also suggest a therapist so you can speak with someone who can pay attention to your changes as well.

It's definitely a journey.

I just got diagnosed with Bipolar 2 after thinking I possibly had adhd. Apparently they can both have similar symptoms. Either way I can't help but feel a little shame with it but I'm just glad I finally got answers for what's wrong with me. It truly explains a lot.


Since I've been on mood stabilizers I feel the best I've ever felt, I feel like I'm on anti depressants + Adderall. My energy, mental clarity and focus is the best it's ever been.

This is key

I started taking Ashwagandha, Tongak Ali, and Fadogia Agrestis.

Can confirm I feel an improvement in "Drive". I want to do things and it feels easier to follow through on personal projects.

I need to do blood work to scientifically confirm however.

I've been taking fadogia and tongak for the past couple weeks. Got the wrong kind of tongak tho so don't expect much. Apparently you never but the supplements extracted from powder. Wanna get my blood work done again in a month to see any changes.


You gonna cycle the fadogia?

I cycle both, but I hear you need to cycle Tongak because of side effects that I can't remember off the top. I get them both in gummy form.

Two weeks on, three days off for both.
