Anxiety med non SSRI?

[Tbaz192]

So I just did a test / questionnaire for anxiety, and as much as I will deny that I have anxiety, things line up that I have slight anxiety over dumb shit.

So I’m looking for guidance from some of yall that take anxiety meds.

Obviously I’m on TRT & blast cycles so SSRI’s can be bad mixed with gear so I’ve read or heard.
And I’d rather not be a zombie or lose my sex drive.

What else can be taken or used? Maybe a low dose SSRI.
(I also have terrible adhd not medicated)

Oh yeah my adhd used to cause a lot of over thinking and anxiety. Luckily I’ve learned to control that mostly.

Definitely have some anxiety from being hyper aware of my body lately. Which is my main concern right now.

Tapering off caffeine fixes it for a lot of people. Some have success with weed too, but most of the time it just makes them lazy assholes who think every little detail is super important, maaan.

Might be ghey but I take this motherwort tincture from Wild & Organic on Amazon, whenever I have anxiety/heart palpitations. One dropper full and I’m calm in less than 10 minutes. (And it tastes sweet, and not like shit.)

I definitely toke on some lettuce haha. But sometimes it increases my anxiety
Love it before the gym. Takes that slight edge off the pain from hard sets. And the focus is awesome.

It can be a useful tool, especially in the gym. Just don't make it the base of your food pyramid.

You may want to try immediate release first to familiarize yourself with it and dial in your dose. You can't split the extended, which start at 60mg.

I got 40mg tablets. Taking 1/4 tab, 10mg is my sweet spot, works in about 30 minutes and lasts about 3 hours. I find the ability to moderate, using only as needed to be preferable to being stuck with 10 hours of effects, not to mention 60mg is way more than I need to feel a nice sense of calm, without being sedated.

I only use it intermittently, when I need absolute calm under what I anticipate may be a very high pressure situation, so it may be different for you. But better to start low and only increase as needed.

Propanolol is a cheat code, particularly for public speaking or social anxiety. Repeated use has diminishing returns in my experience.
