"I was very hesitant to try this. I kept hearing nightmare stories about brain zaps and massive weight but was relieved to hear some of you lost weight. I had an eating disorder since childhood and very uncomfortable when i gain weight. I was so damn depressed I could not fight it, severe rage, I felt like I was suffocating and that no one else had feelings this intense it was beyond my capabilities. I attempted suicide twice during lockdown. After re-opening it was like my brain was stuck. Nothing gave me pleasure. I kept getting worse. love summer but been holed up in my apartment. Not even the sunshine or music was boosting my moods anymore. That scared me. I would just go off at the smallest things. Lost friends and family over this. I was miserable and broken like this is my life. My GP doctor told this is no way to live and gave me a low dose. So far I'm feeling more relaxed. Woke up not wanting to cry. I hope this helps me."
