Pregnenolone Advances As A Treatment For Loneliness In Humans

[thomas00]

Treating something as elusive, mysterious, complicated, soul-based and specific to a person's actual lived history/histories with a DRUG is ridiculous. This is definitely an area where 'Peating' is weak and wide of the mark in my view.

If loneliness is't as mystical and mysterious as idiot psychologists and religious people think it is, and is actually biochemical (in at least some cases) then treating it with a drug seems like the only appropriate course of action.

Ray's ideas are a counterbalance against the psychologizing and philosophizing of all facets of human suffering that goes on way too much imo

Sorry to bring this topic back, but I'm really interested in it since I have problems with feeling lonely even when I'm surrounded.
I am wondering if the 400mg dose is an oral dose ? I have 100mg pills and I'm quite afraid about swallowing these when I see how potent topical or sublingual application can be (last time I dosed bad and got heavy anxiety).

Do you think I can I take 100mg orally safely ? Just so you know, I'm 28 and lived a pretty stressful life with trauma, dealing with depression and anxiety.

I have no desire to socialise with people when I take pregnenolone, a

ctually I become like a mute, very thoughtful and calm.

400mg orally is way too much imo. I've taken it before and it raised prog a lot for me and I was so sedated i could barely function. 30mg a day works awesome for me. I also take progesterone orally, which is supposed to raise allopreg as well.

This is not medical advice, and I don't know you and you situation, nor the formulation you have, but if you are going to try it, consider starting small.
For instance, you could try 1/4 or 1/2 of that 100mg pill and see how you feel. If you notice an effect the first day, you don't need to take it every day - once or twice a week may be enough.
Some people get effects from less than 100mg, and it can last more than a day. People react differently to things, and have different needs, so watch how you respond.

Remember to make sure you are meeting basic nutrition needs so your body has what it needs to work with.

This is also my experience. Like just staring at people or making casual gestures feels much more powerful than words for some reason. It's funny but seems kind of antisocial... which I suppose makes sense regarding this thread. Maybe pregnenolone is a biomarker for introversion.

Pretty much anything that strongly lowers cortisol decreases urge to socialize for me. Whether it's Pregnenonlone, Phosphatidylserine, K2, etc.
