I’m a 33yo male. I’ve used instant shine, instant gentleman, TUTH and ammo before, and liked them all. Recently, I’ve gone sober, after years of daily pot and alcohol use, as well as whatever else I happened to get my hands on. It’s been a great experience overall; I’m feeling more energetic, optimistic, and clear-headed than I have since childhood. Still though, it’s left something of a void in my life. Now that I’m not using drugs and alcohol to fill this void, I feel like I need help from something else.
I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my entire life. Lately I’ve been using instant shine daily, mostly for the self-effects (I definitely find the stealth version to be a little less potent, at least for me). In addition to my years of self-medication, I’ve spent the majority of my life on prescription antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, and the combination of all these chemicals over the years has left me with very low testosterone levels. Instant gentleman, ammo, and TUTH have been very helpful in this regard, but I’m especially glad to be able to use instant shine as an alternative antidepressant which won’t have any further effect on my body’s ability to produce and regulate testosterone. I’m still considering whether I should get back on a prescription, but for the time being at least this has been working fairly well for me. I’d certainly prefer not to go back on any drugs, prescription or otherwise.
I’m interested in checking out some of the other, more specialized pheromones. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
I definitely recommend against going back on prescription.
Aside from IShine, I find the Nol products (IO, CTTM2, IH) to be very effective at treating anxiety and depression.
There’s a ton of putatives and experimones too, too many to write out.
That’s a good news, being sober. I agree with Jdub, no drugs. At least not now. You have to entirely clean the system first.
Glad to learn that IShine and others are helping, but I want to point out that the biggest factor here is none other than you.
I also agree with Jdub’s recommendations. And with the putatives, I think p74, p131, p82, p78, p97, p95, p130, p124, p125, and many more. You might also check out TAC, and yeah, the Liquid Sunshine.
It would be great too if you can create your own journal here.
Happy Pheroing!
============= Disclosure: I’ve edited your thread title from “Pheromones in sobriety” to “Hello! Pushing for Pheromones Testing in sobriety. Any specialized pheros? M/33” for topic clarity and forum readability. It’ll also generate more “reads” to your thread. If you want to opt-out simply let me know. Thank you!
You are certainly not alone at all here. I am a recovered Alcoholic myself and have fought with addiction many of times.
If you can I would try to avoid the prescription as they will throw your body off chemically and you will also have to adjust your pheromone use also especially since they meds do mess with your test levels so more than likely you will have to adjust your Ammo, TUTH, IG, and A34 use to accommodate for this.
Now in addition to pheromones I would also look at some alternatives for the depression like St.Johns Wart or 5-HTP which are natural and will help cope with the anxiety and stress and you should be able to get both of these at your local Wal-Mart or grocery store and would look into something like this because they won’t mess with your bodies chemistry like the prescriptions can and both of these should not interfere with test production(at least not in a negative way).
I would lean on the IShine in the meantime with what you do have with what you have in the mean time to help you out.
P74 is one of my favorites for happy and bonding and should help with not getting that withdrawn feeling from the world than come from withdrawal effects of the medications. I have good luck with a low dose, but 5MCG a spray and somewhere between 5-20MCG should be a good range.
P96 helps with connecting to things and works more on an emotional level and this one would help if you are married or have kids and want to help maintain a positive and healthy emotional connection while you stop taking them medications. Would look at 7.5MCG a spray and this one can vary a lot but I would start somewhere in the 10-30MCG range.
P131 lately this is one of my favorites and is like a mix between P74 and IShine is the best way I can describe it. Can have a touchy element to it where people will want to touch you in some way and good for slight bonding to. Would try in 5MCG and 5-20MCG total.
I hope this helps and these are the best ones I would look at. There are many others and Dee already mentioned them. If you have any trouble or have questions still just post and good luck!!!
