Yueju - Chinese antidepressant similar to Ketamine

[LittleJem]

Hi all, I had another horrendous day of wanting to die...but my evening research has discovered a Chinese herb which is fast acting for depression. Have no clue if it will work, but getting some tomorrow...and wanted to share in case it's useful x

Is it helping?

I'd like to know also!

Following, never heard of that one before. Also kratom is good, I need some more but it's pricey.

I'm afraid I only tried the Yueju for one day and gave up - I lack patience. I have 5 more bags of it to make into tea- anyone in London want it?! I can't post it, but could hand it over in person in central London sometime. Or I am in Feltham (or Hendon, my former marital home till recent separation)...

I do also have a single herb - Zhi Zi (Gardenia Fruit) which has good reviews. I have only tried this once, but I will try it more consistently and report back to all of you.

At the moment, I have been put on Lyrica which has scary side effects, but is helping me feel better - well I feel as high as a kite.

The other thing that was quite good was Tianeptine Sulfate (which apparently rebuilds your brain). Kratom there are some folks it helps (not me, but some say it is life-saving), microdosing LSD. There are also other Nootropics, Fasoracetam, Selank, Phenibut - I have heard good things about them on Reddit.

All I can say (if I may) is fuck depression. I wish I had a cure for all of us - I will keep you posted on the Zhi Zi.

Fuck depression indeed, couldn't have put it any better. Good luck to you with everything.

I just read about NSI-189 - which is a nootropic. There are lots of other nootropics out there - I haven't tried yet - Fasoracetam being one of them.

I am hoping to switch to a MAOI in case it is any better than the SSRIs for me. I might get more nootropics too but not sure for now.
