An interesting experiment. I haven't been taking Macuna every day for various reasons. This morning I was feeling some anxiety and depression from not being able to get enough exercise for awhile since falling and hurting my back. I was feeling worried, fretful, sad, useless, and about to take a lorezapam to go to sleep when I thought, hmmmmm, I wonder how macuna would affect this axiety. A dopamine agonist is usually the last thing I'd reach for in anxiety but what the heck, be brave for the cause.
Within 1-1/2 hours of taking it I was feeling calm, energized and pretty darn good and even my pain was alot less. This is very good news for me because anxiety is my achilles heel and will bring on every bad thing if it gets out of hand. I don't always get relief from benzos which sometimes don't work or leave me feeling dull.
The macuna didn't feel like a benzo, a stimulant, or anything else. It just felt like going from a bad day to a good mood. Is this counterintuitive or is this how macuna is supposed to feel? - Barbara
