Hello all :)
I’ve been experimenting with zinc supplements this week because there’s absolutely no way to get oysters for the time being and it slapped me in the **** face with its effects.
I have strong neurotic tendencies show up these past few years, very weak senses, like touch smell taste, lack of physical pleasure, low libido and erections, dry hair, and a tendency to powerfully ruminate 24/7 and antisocial. Let me tell you, the ruminating thoughts… boy those are something else. Every situation I’m in my head is filled with ten of the worst possible scenarios within that context.
I took 50mg of Carlson Zinc blend (various forms in it) and I cried 2 hours after my first dose… not sure why but I felt super present in the moment. My mind shut off! I felt sleepy for the first time in years! I felt drugged on the zinc in the best way possible. Last night I felt nearly euphoric and couldn’t sleep after taking my zinc I slept at 7 AM so I’m skipping the zinc today… although the first few days it did the opposite and made it hard to stay awake
I didnt get bloodwork yet but I should soon. I feel as if life is more lubricated, like from my thoughts to social situations. Hard to put in words :) is this indicative of a zinc deficiency? I think I’m gonna stop on the 14th day because copper deficiency, zinc toxicity, etc
