Sorry Racer, I only tried it for one day. I had just stopped something else, and it was too early. I should take another look. The one day I did try it I felt a calming similar to a mild benzo. A felt a little more depressed and withdrawn. As you know, a one day trial at half the dose doesn't say anything.
Just like other drugs, I have seen stories of miraculous success and stories of disdain, as of the drug doing nothing, and everything inbetween. Clinical stuff looks good though. I guess you just gotta try it and see. You've been around the reuptake inhibitor game a long time. Seems to me to make sense to venture into a different mechanism of getting things done. While stablon is called a serotonin reuptake enhancer, I get the hunch it does a lot of other unidentified stuff. It seems to somehow work on stimulating dopamine function. People have actually taken massively high doses of it for the high they get at huge doses. At least you know you won't overdose on it. :-)
My vote is yeah, put the reuptake inhibitors in the closet. Stablon would not be popular around the world if it didn't work. People here and at other forums have done very well with it. Like everything else, some didn't. You know how the mileage thing works. But hey, reuptake inhibitors have had all the chance in the world with you. They have hogged the spotlight. Time for a new player to step up on the stage who might just be able to perform.
