I have found myself using more and more IS everytime I apply. I have depression and have my entire life ( I think its hereditary, dad and grandpa had it too) and I have actually been using Instant Shine 2x as a self medication for depression. It works great. I like having an anti-depressent in a bottle, because not only does it affect me, but others around me as well 
. I do find a need to reapply about 4-7 hours into the day, but not nearly as much as in the morning, just to refresh it. Does anyone else have any tendancies to use pheromones as a self medication? I know I heard that IFM helps for that time of the month, what other ways can they be used?
Wow, pheromones for depression. That’s a breakthrough if we find no side effects from it.
I’m guessing my friend would benefit so much from it. She’s gone through really bad rollercoaster depression.
Self-medicating depression with IS is probably not a good idea, nor is self medicating depression with marijuana. Smoking alot of pot gradually depletes your serontonin and will make you feel even more depressed unless your high. I am going to a very wild shot in the dark here and assume that covering up your depression with IS will only lead to a dependency on IS or even worse feelings in the long run when you don’t have it applied. Strike at the heart of your depression rather than just covering it up with by seeking a counselor or somebody to talk to (if you haven’t already).
I have used IS as an antidepressant. It was very helpful in that capacity, in fact, when I had to leave my ex girlfriend. One thing I can say is that you’ll want to try to avoid using more every time you apply, because that will just acclimate you to it faster. If you find you need more and more, try using IO instead for a day or two, at the same dose, and then go back. IO isn’t the same as IS, of course, but it’s good for mellowing out at high doses.
Hello to everybody!
I was just wondering if Pheros like Instant Shine worked for depression. But on the other hand, it’s common that they can cause even depression or anger. In fact, many men report as Instant Female Magic cause them depression, and I know that when I was beginning to use NONEs, on the beginning I felt very angry with anybody around me, any time I exceeded 2-3 sprays. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pheros could help to fight the depression. That’s a GREAT DISCOVERY Z4!!! Good work!!!
See ya

Maybe as you reach a stable dose, you could try slowly reducing those dosage (instead of keeping increasing them just so you can have more happiness)
Lemme go ahead and elaborate a little on my situation. My depression is not nearly as severe as it used to be when I was younger. I take zoloft now, and that takes care of it. When i speak of ‘Self-medication’ with IS I am referring to giving my the extra spark to overcome any negative thoughts and what not throughout the day. It by no means is my one stop cure bottle for depression. I think i am going to make my doses more consistant so that there is no dependancy afterwards 
As far as marijuana goes, I cant say its done ‘in moderation’ but slightly more? It never gets in the way of work, and I do not feel any drawbacks as far as depression goes. In fact, everyday I wake up after smoking the previous night, I feel great and perky. I guess pot is my alternative to drinking considering that by it self is nothing more than a flat-out depressent.
My friend used to take/drink cayenne pepper all the time. It and probably taste disgusting, but then she’ll totally get over her depression and be in a state of euphoria. Kind of what IS induces, maybe, except she’s the only one affected by it.
I guess everybody has their own way of dealing with depression, the key though is being in control and having self-aware. Since women have Instant Female Magic, I don’t see why pheromones can’t be used as an anti-depressant, as long as you don’t become totally dependent on it (damn these pheromones are expensive!).
In my opinion, you cant really put a price on success, A314 give me the edge for the success I strive for - just a thought 
I know what you mean though, Getting into pheros isint the cheapest hobby, but it sure is fun to be part of an underground secret society that controls the world muhaha
It’s fun isn’t it? I have found myself slave to this phero-cult.
But you’re right. In terms of success, pheromones might be the best initial investment ever.
Hehe, what I meant is that if you get addicted to pheromones, that’s gotta be hell. I’ve seen what drugs do to some of the people here since I work directly with them. Once you got past the initial awkward barrier of talking to them, I find out they’re awesome people who just fell into a deep hole because they got addicted to a lifestyle they can’t handle and become dependent on drugs, and thus starts towards robbery and things like that.
Thus, the key is self-aware. Don’t go buying pheromones using your kid’s lunch money or something 
hehe- Well said LizzieM, well said
Just a note… from a former depressant to anyone who might find this information useful.
I got over my depression, and I did it in large part by adjusting my diet. I have discovered that if I do not eat enough protein to balance the carbohydrates I eat, I become depressive. My alert is when I start feeling like there is no hope and the only way out is suicide. That’s when I know I’m unbalanced and I need more protein. I’ve gotten very good at eating better, so this almost never happens anymore.
It might work for you, and it might not… but it’s worth a shot. I recommend balancing your carbs and protein so that you have 6 parts protein to 4 parts (or less) of carbs.
Right on, Thanks Catlord for the input.
Hey i started a thread about this when i was depressed a few months back, and hey instant shine is good for depression, but er things only for a short time. but try other things as well, like some activity or other, to help with the depression.
I just read recently (but I knew this before) that exercise helps. Especially in the morning. wakes up those endorphins. Mine can be real lazy bastards sometimes.
True that, Nothing beats Excersize and good diet for depression. A little IS on the side will do nothin but good IMO
