^ This, this, this. Pulmonary hypertension is a horrible way to die and what's even more fucked is that alot of the time the disease isn't even caused by valvular regurgitation ie. not resolved by a valve transplant. Once the disease develops, it's almost a guarantee that it will only get worse,
even if you cease drug intake. In alot of these fenfluramine cases, it wasn't until months after stopping that symptoms started to develop followed by a steep decline in health. IIRC as much as 50% of these individuals died 3 years after symptoms developed. It begins to put a massive strain on your heart, ultimately progressing to right sided heart failure and pulmonary embolism. It is probably one of the worst things to die from, imagine slowly drowning but since your able to breathe in minor amounts of O² the drowning is just drawn out and delayed until you die...truely terrifying. Far worse than just a case of shortness of breath.
I'm gonna repeat what's already been said again, there is NO cure and the disease progresses even if you've been off the drug for years. Not everything can be cured, not all medications are "poisons", and even if the equipment to cure all diseases existed are you really gonna be able to get ahold of that? Why are you so against medications but you'll ingest a wide variety of unstudied, cardiotoxic stimulants in a heartbeat? Which essentially are poisons lol. I've been trying to help you but the message doesn't seem to be clicking. Go see a doctor before it's too late, if it's not already too late. There are people with early stage valvular heart disease and pulmonary hypertension with
no symptoms so the fact that you say you've been experiencing them for some time means that damage has already been done.
Edit:
but that doesn't mean you can't cure it. I don't think like that, so I know I can get better if I do the "right" things.
Please, explain to me what the "right things" are and how denying the reality of a disease affects it's consequences? Do you not thing that a great majority of people fighting life threatening illness hold on to good faith? No amount of acorn extract or pinecones will reverse PAH, and you may choose to believe so and invest all your efforts into trying, but sadly it will likely end up in a hospital bed anyways, but with irreversible damage and a sealed fate

@Student - You keep saying that your not worried about heart diseasse because you take a beta blocker, that beta blocker doesn't do anything to prevent valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension caused by 5-ht2b agonism, nothing at all, and may even be masking symptoms of heart damage. Like Drum said, it's getting a bit old reading around on every subforum to find a duplicate of this post filled to the brim with valuable, potentially life saving advice and you just peruse on by and fish for the advice you want to hear.
These people are trying to help you before you seriously harm yourself, and this is a harm reduction forum so your not gonna get people telling you to continue using or that your use is safe by any means, and we also can't provide you with a miracle cure for your mental health issues. As you've already found out, what works for others may not work for you which is why it's important to discuss and trial drugs that may work for you under a doctors supervision. Serotonin releasers are probably the worst class of drugs that I can think of to be used as a treatment for depression, and if you really do study pharmacology like you say you do you would know that. They're cardiotoxic (afaik all releasers are 5-ht2b agonists), hard on the body, and will make you unbelievably depressed and anxious when you stop.
I'm currently dealing with valvular heart disease caused by RC empathogens and it's not fun, and even quite fucking scary. Here I am losing sleep because tomorrow is the day I follw up with the cardiologist to find out to what extent I screwed up my heart as all I received during the echo was a confirmation of VHD "similar to that seen in fenfluramine and aminorex cases"... at 21 btw with a history not even close to this amount. Stop while your ahead and seek out help from a therapist. Maybe try and get on a benzo or something. I find it extremely odd that prescription stimulants give you psychosis but your able to get away with daily doses of something like 3-mmc but weirder shit happens I guess, all I know is that this isn't gonna pan out well if you keep this up. You might even wanna get your heart checked out to see if there's already damage that has been done. Don't be so naive to think that taking a beta blocker prevents damage caused by 5-ht2b agonism.
Sorry if this post is a bit rash but I don't think you guys understand the seriousness of this type of activity and/or the consequences to your actions, especially if ignored. I wish you both the best of luck, honestly and wholeheartedly
