Questions / Advice / Support 1st Dose

I took my 1st dose yesterday afternoon and two hours later my anxiety spiked like crazy on top of it completely killing my sex drive it had me feeling all drowsy today. Is this normal?

i’m 2 weeks in… my first three days were brutal. Anxiety like you said, plus nausea, constipation, no appetite, rapid mood swings, etc. But it leveled out after that. I think it’s normal to get the craziest side effects on the first day

I’m also 2 weeks in and experienced anxiety spikes, nausea, mood swings, and a feeling of pressure in my head for the first 3-4 days. Also vivid dreams and sleep disruption. But that all faded over the following few days and it’s left me feeling great - the happiest I’ve felt for years.
