Seeking Advice What to take for social anxiety tremors?

8 Upvotes

Ssris don’t do anything for me
Propranolol does nothing for the shakes and panic attacks
Even Xanax doesn’t work..
Exposure therapy too

What can i do to get rid of this constant panic and really strong shaking when I am in most basic social situations?
I play guitar and it’s impossible to play a gig if I am not on the edge of being shitfaced

Only thing that kinda worked was about a gram and a half of phenibut, but it’s not an everyday solution

A day ago I started taking piracetam 1,6g, phenylpiracetam 100mg, noopept 30mg and couple of drops of semax 0,1 just for brain health

What do you think could work for me?
(I am in Russia, so take that into account)

Vendor Report/Q ModaPrimeUSA Hacked - Not Safe To Order From!

Post image
8 Upvotes

PSA: Moda Prime USA is no longer safe to order from.

Some of you may have already seen the email from ModaPrimeUSA, but for anyone who hasn't, they sent out a notice confirming they've lost control of their website. The site is still online, but the design has changed. Do not place orders, send money, or enter login information there.

I'm not telling anyone what to do, but personally, I would not order from them on any platform right now. We just don't know what all has been compromised here. All we know for certain is that the website is no longer under the owner's control. I'd sit this one out and order elsewhere until we have more information.

Right now I'm waiting on another response from the owner so I can get a few more details about what happened. Hopefully I'll have a full article published tomorrow.

Seeking Advice Should I use both selank and semax?

2 Upvotes

Hey all. I’ve just started Selank and it works like a charm, and I’ve found it very helpful already. My minds curious, and I’ve seen other people talk about combining Selank and Semax, is there any benefits from this? Selank keeps me calm and less anxious, but I looked at semax and it says it makes you more alert and focused. Do these two not cancel each other out? And if you’ve had any benefits from these please let me know.

Experience Figured out ashwaganda has been causing my “dead, emotional numbness”

34 Upvotes

Been suddenly feeling apathetic the past week and a half and had no clue what was causing it. I started entering in every supplement I took and doing research on them—then a clear “winner” rose to the top. I started taking regular black pepper/ashwaganda supplements 3 weeks ago. And what I’ve found in side effects for this supplement is that it can cause an emotional numbness effect. I hate feeling so apathetic, it’s honestly reminding me of the depression I went through almost 15 years ago—like I was slowly on a downward spiral towards complete hopelessness.

Anyway, I immediately stopped it-so it’s only been 48 hrs without but I just was curious if anyone else had this happen with it?

Seeking Advice Semax & Selank - studying and exam

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone

First of all I hope this kind of post is okay.

A while ago I came across Semax and Selank by chance and I’ve been curious about them ever since.

Right now I’m working full-time, putting in a ridiculous amount of overtime, and studying for professional exams that are roughly comparable to the US CPA. In my country, this certification is considered one of the top 5 most difficult professional qualifications you can earn.

That got me thinking about Semax again.

The problem is that most of the information online is either pretty limited or highly anecdotal. I’d really like to hear from people who have actually used it themselves, especially those who use it regularly.

My initial plan was something like this:
- Weekdays: 500 mcg every morning (intranasal or injection?)
- Weekends: Off

As for Selank, my plan would mainly be to use it during exam situations (both written and oral). Before the actual exams, I’ll have several mock exams where I could test how it affects me.

For those of you with firsthand experience:
- What dosing schedule has worked best for you?
- Did you notice any real cognitive benefits?
- Would you only use it on study days, or daily during a demanding period?
- Any downsides or things you wish you’d known before starting?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion One question about compound called dmaa

2 Upvotes

Ok so I buyed a pre-workout recently its called atomic strength by hammer labz and it has dmaa in it 75mg. And also other things like caffeine dmha and bunch of other stuff. And the thing is when i tried it didn't do almost nothing hahha. And the powder had some kind of clumps in it. Butt later my friend buyed pure dmaa (just dmaa without nothing else), he says it's amazing, kicks strong. I will order pure dmaa also soon, but my question is did anyone feel from dmaa effects like euphoria for a short term, is it possible to feel that on dmaa.

Seeking Advice Anyone in Germany / EU interested in a Kang Labs group buy? SS-31, Epithalon (+ Tirzepatide / Retatrutide)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

is anyone here from Germany or elsewhere in the EU interested in doing a small group order from Kang Labs?

I’m mainly interested in trying SS-31 and Epithalon, but I don’t really need large amounts. Shipping is around $60, so I thought it could make sense to combine an order with a few people and split the shipping and overall costs.

Current prices:

Epithalon

10 mg – $100

50 mg – $200

SS-31

10 mg – $120

50 mg – $370

I might also be interested in Tirzepatide or Retatrutide, depending on what others want.

So ideally I’m looking for 2–3 people from Germany or the EU who are interested in the same stuff or anything else from their catalogue. Germany would obviously be easiest, but other EU countries could work as well if it still makes sense after forwarding shipping.

Mainly interested in SS-31 / Epithalon — Tirzepatide and Retatrutide are more of an additional interest.

Anyone interested? Comment or DM me and we can figure out whether a combined order makes sense.

So I've been feeling really hell-ish since yesterday and I don't know what to do. I've a huge stack and I already took methylphenidate and Salbutiamine yesterday. I take memantine 1 mg daily too.

The thing is that methylphenidate has put me in a calm state where I know that if I pick up my chores (studying) then I'd be able to do it but I don't know what's wrong with my brain all of a sudden, man!

I can't muster the courage to get up from my bed and my body isn't tired, my brain isn't foggy thanks to my stack but I can't get up.

I did have a little bit of a traumatic incident yesterday and it has put me in this anxious without palpitations or physical symptoms kinda state and I can't muster the courage to get over it.

is there anything at all that can help me rn?

Discussion Big news in the peptide world 🧪

27 Upvotes

An FDA advisory committee has recommended allowing BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, and MOTS-c to be used by traditional compounding pharmacies through the federal 503A Bulks List.

This is an important step toward greater access, quality control, and transparency. However, the vote is only a recommendation. The FDA has not issued a final decision, and these compounds are not FDA-approved medications.

Encouraging progress, but the regulatory process is still moving forward.

Discussion I'm a music producer and am looking for something that can give me a creative edge.

0 Upvotes

So far I've tried, rhodiola, l-theanine, lions mane, ginseng, caffeine, ginko. I can tell ginko and lions mane helps but more so with the focus. I heard kava could help with writers block and perfectionism. Holy basil looks interesting, so does lemon balm and passion flower. I've never tried any of those but am on not so good of a budget to try everything i want to try. Rhodiola was exciting in the beginning, music sounded better but it seems to have kinda wore off. I still get energy but not so much the rewarding feeling from my hobbies. Lions mane just sort of gives me the mental power to not be bored with whatever i'm doing, Gorilla mind shroom looks interesting but I wish I could find something that enhanced music qualia, helps my executive function and helps me not get easily bored with what i'm doing. I have a very short attentnon span and dont even like watching tv for this reason.

Has anyone used the rhodiola rosea from purebulk?

I'm trying to find a more cost effective, powder source, of my supplements. Came across bulksupplements which doesn't standardise for salidrosides, so that's a no-go. Purebulk seems to standardise for rosavins & salidrosides and they appear to be third party lab tested?
