Can somebody explain hypomania? Isn't mania like a good thing as opposed to depression and not wanting to do stuff?
My product is a white very small crystal like powder. Definately not cut.
Maybe you guys were taking other supplements that were affecting effects.
What other supplements do you guys take for depression and anxieties?
No, mania can lead to people getting so overexcited that they get themselves into a lot of trouble like debts from buying tons of shit off eBay etc. There is a difference between mania leading up to things that are disruptive like delusions of grandeur etc, or just being euphoric / amped. Hypomania describes a more benign form of this, so without the really harmful shit but still you can notice that it is "too good to be true" in a way? Maybe this feeling is clear immediately to some people, but perhaps in others it takes a little experience to notice.
No offense of course, and not aimed at you but ignorance in general about hypomania and mania can lead to problems. Mistaking dissociation and hypomania / mania for actual relief of depression independent of hypomanic type feelings or behavior is a risk. I keep warning from personal experience that I have serious doubts that 3-MeO-PCP is like ketamine's metabolites in being able to relieve depression though any dissociative can 'break the spell' by simply stopping rumination etc for a while. This is not necessarily the same as the neuroplastic effects associated with ketamine therapy.
3-MeO-PCP should be expected to be very similar to PCP which has been studied for quite some time already. Eventually if you abuse that you get depression, and while there is another dimension to dissociatives besides their euphoria or hypomania which stimulants can also produce, you should be wary about long term therapeutic effects. Just like nobody is beyond placebo effects, it is hard either way to predict whether there is any point to therapeutically taking 3-MeO-PCP as an anti-depressant based on personal experience.
My experience was that it works to feel more 'removed' from what is happening and have much less chatter in the head, and also positive feelings... but not any direct relief from depression per se, and I am worried about the risks of taking this for extensive periods of time. I can imagine the positive effects, especially the ones I got when I just started using it, can be considered impressive and very positive but it is healthy to test that with a bout of scepticism.
Euphoria is sometimes seen as one of the described side-effects of a pharmaceutical drug. This is sometimes laughed at, because isn't euphoria something healthy or something to look for rather than a side-effect?
Actually no: what is healthy is to feel shitty when something bad happens and feel good when something good happens etc, not to feel as good as possible per se. With depression there is an unhealthy (>> pathological) negative affect even when things aren't all that bad. There are plenty of reasons why a healthy stable neutral baseline is what you should aim for generally rather than to feel as good as possible - which may be a common problem among drug users?? by the way - . Occasional drug induced euphoria with a neutral (though optimistic) baseline is of course fine, but induced mania is already risky.
There exists something like congenital analgesia which causes people to feel no pain at all. These people generally don't live long because pain has a function and keeps you safe. On PCP / 3-MeO-PCP type drugs you can often get a serious analgesic [painkilling] effect. If you have taken a high dose and go on some quest disregarding the safety of your body, you can easily get hurt which is what happens often enough. I know this thread is about microdosing but it again illustrates the problem with dialing up the positivity and down the negativity and other feelings.
