Polygala Tenuifolia (Yuan Zhi) use and dosage

[Proust22]

Hello,


I am really, really tired and I need help please


Can anyone help me with use and dosage of Polygala Tenuifolia, I got this product of extract powder :
> removed vendor link <

But I don't even have something to weigh such small amounts and I can't get one for now, so I need to use volume, and I think I know the density of the stuff, slightly over 0,5 g/ml


I used a little spoon of 1ml so far and so I took about 0,5g once in a day as indicated on the bottle, but dunno if it's the right dose and maybe it's better to separate the dose on several occasions during the day, 2 or 3, what do you think ? Another problem to take into account is that with even smaller doses than 0,5 g I don't know how I can weigh and dose the stuff, what other tools than the precision scales do you guys use for small weighs ? There's also the problem of losses ...


I'd also like to know if the stuff has stimulating or sedative effects, does it helps sleeping or being more alert ?


How long does its effects last ?


Can I take Phenibut while also taking this ?


I heard you gotta take it sublingual but I am not sure how you gotta do that, I tried once and it didn't go well it has strong bitter taste and it got stuck in my throat when I tried to swallow and felt it burn ... The stuff smells like coffee and even in hot water it dissolves with difficulty, I need to stir a lot with the spoon


I am using this stuff for anxiety mainly, but I am also very interested by its neuroprotective effects which are very needed in my state right now


Thanks for reading me

Hi, Welcome to Bluelight. I've no experience with this substance but found a thread that may give you some more information:

I can't answer any of your questions personally, but I found this page rather informing/interesting.

https://examine.com/supplements/polygala-tenuifolia/

Triple reuptake inhibitor, NMDA antagonist, with some MAO inhibition. The only thing I saw from a skimming about sedation was in extremely high doses(higher than you would ever take). Sounds like it could be a really good antidepressant.

Thank you very much

Unfortunately I am in a state way too bad for me to look onto all the messages and do an extensive research, extreme nervous system fatigue, induced by withdrawal syndrome(s) + very bad conditions

not sure about the recommendations and opinion of the doctors I saw, I wonder if I should submit my case somewhere on the internet and talk about it (if I'm still able to do so), maybe I can get other/better opinions

Hello Coolwhip,

Venlafaxine mainly but prior to that also Amisulpride, the latter left sequela
