Mental Health Do i need an maoi? Or do you think an ssri /snri+ buproprion or a stimulant would work

[Spoonbill]

Hey guys I abused a lot of mdma and also some high doses of vyvanse in high school. I was never prescribed vyvanse.

Now I suffer from what it seems to be like numerological and nervous system issues


I struggle with

Anhedonia, depression , ocd , anxiety

And cognitive issues like
Remembering
Thinking through
Making decisions
Brain fog
Dissacociation
Social awarness,awareness,
Ect
Vocabulary and recollection of words
Sometime explaining myself
Irritation



I'm wondering if this is actually a result of nervous system damage or if its just simply depression

This happened about 5 years ago
And it's just never healed

Something flipped in my brain , I got depressed and paranoid, and stopped talking to my friends

I felt sick

Now I've just adjusted to being low functioning

But I can't get immersed or find true happiness

I appear normal but I can't even stick to things I wanna do or have normal relationships with people

I can't hold down a school or job well

Do I need medication , will it help? Or do I need to heal my nervous system somehow??

Psychedelics and NDMA antagonists can heal this type of damage. Some people also find that 9-Me-BC can heal stimulant damage. I'd suggest looking into those before starting with long-term medication. And I'd avoid SSRIs/SNRIs if possible. They seem to cause more problems than solutions.

THIS. I have been prescribed duloxetine (Celexa) once, and after a week my penis stopped working. It didn't help with my condition at the time either. I promptly threw that shit in the trash, went back to my doctor and asked for a TCA and a benzo, which DID solve the problem after 3 months of treatment. For those curious, my condition was a permanent migraine that initially had a physical cause (an accident) but was compounded by neurological issues.

If I ever need them again, I'll gladly take any of the old school tricyclic antidepressants or any benzo before that SSRI junk. TCAs might mess with your heart but SSRIs will turn you into an impotent emotionless robot.

He shou wu is all I have to say cannot prescribe even a herb to you it is a maoi

Nearly killed myself on glass shard molly I love what that herb specifically has done for my brain and body and even moods I certainly combine it with others though for synergy and other remedying

I took a lot of MDMA in my youth and always wondered how much damage it has done to me. I got really depressed an one time and thought that it was because I had abused MDMA. When I look back, the reasons I was depressed were nothing to do with my MDMA use but my life circumstances.
I have always been a very anxious person with mental health issues but when I was young I just ignored them.
My mental health is good now and I still use MDMA.
I take a SNRI and have been on several different therapy courses.
Finding out what helps your mental health might take a while but keep trying and things will slowly improve.
