So im a 20 year old male who has long faught a battle with depression and learned helplessness. I was ostracized in school which i guess is pretty common, but it really took a toll on my mental and physical health. I believe during this time my serotonin levels would be pretty high, although never tested. It wasnt like i was completely stricken with depression but i would have my moments. So much so at times i would freeze and not even be able to speak. I weighed about 140 lbs ; 6'0 feet tall. I think this had to do alot with my high cortisol at that time, which i realized after discovering this forum.
Anyway, after about 6 months of being on this forum, reading threads all day everyday i decided to take cypro. It just looked like the perfect match. I started with 4 mg x once a day, later splitting it into two doses of 2mg a day. I kept this routine for about 3 months. Currently im just taking 1mg before bed.
Effects on well being ;
Im atleast 10x more socialable. All of my close friends have noticed that. One even said that i seem kinda jumpy all the time. That for me is a big change considering how lethargic id be all the time. When with my friends i wouldnt speak much, just observe. Seem to be the quiet opposite now.
I feel like i have a new zest for life. I sleep through the night unless i have to use the bathroom. My mornings are bright and i just enjoy my daily life alot more now. I also feel just so much more grateful generally.
The other thing ive noticed is how articulate ive become. I can easily communicate my thoughts. I can easily keep up small talk, which i dreaded in the past.
Lastly i weigh 180 lbs now, which is huge improvent as i just weighed 140 lbs 3 months ago. I feel the weight ive put is distributed evenly. Someone asked me if ive joined the gym since i look alot more broader now.
All in all i feel like cypro is no less than a miracle, atleast for me. I obviously dont advocate anyone to just start taking but it might be an option to look at.
