Hey Thomatheus,
>Anyway, I'm not a member of Imminst, but maybe one day I'll create an account and do some posting over there.
There are a lot of people over there suffering with depression and several that suffer from bipolar and schizoaffective. I think there was a recent thread about treating psychosis. It may be a good idea to go over there, join, and start a thread asking for some ideas.
>At the time, taking aminoguanidine seemed like such a good idea, but obviously it seems like a pretty bone-headed move now. Anyway, I'm not a member of Imminst, but maybe one day I'll create an account and do some posting over there.
Who knew aminoguanidine would have the potential to interfere with your brain function/chemistry in such a way. You never could have known. It sounds like you had a good enough reason for trying it. I doubt anyone could have guessed that the risk was there for such damage. I don't think your decision to use aminoguanidine was bone-headed. Now a few of the things I've done over the past 4 years that contributed to me being in such a bad state could be called bone-headed for sure.
I've considered trying this drug called Cerebrolysin to restore my recent loss in cognitive ability. It definitely looks promising, and several people have reported very positive experiences with it. Only problem is it requires intramuscular injections and it is derived from pig brains. Some are concerned about the possible but highly unlikely risk of Cerebrolysin carrying cross-species infection. The company that makes it claims there is no such risk. Anyway, I'm a risk taker and I may just pull the trigger and get some Cerebrolysin when I have a little extra cash. The nice thing is that the effects are lasting. Someone with a bad case of encephalitis used it for 6 or 8 weeks and made a near full recover. They were able to go back to school and finish it. They said they did another course of Cerebrolysin 2 years later to maintain the gains they made after the first trial. Here are a few links about Cerebrolysin.
Ahh, evidence that it may help taken orally. There is a company that makes something similar to it in pill form.
Evidently there is increases cortical kynurenate content in schizophrenia disorders. Cerebrolysin
may lower cortical kynurenic acid formation.One doctor's blog on Cerebrolysin.
Lol, sorry for all the links. I just think treatments like Cerebrolysin are fascinating and hold much potential to treat several neurological disorders. It may even simple be good to fight age-related neurodegeneration, for those that do not have signs of Alzheimer's or dementia, but want to keep there brain sharp and healthy.
>I hope you have a good day,
Hey thanks bro..Not a good day though-muscle stiffness, muscle soreness, muscle fatigue, general fatigue, headache, brainfog, etc. Oh well, hopefully I get to the bottom of this soon. I have feeling there is not diagnosis or definitive answer to what is happening to me. I have some of my own ideas.
You have a good day too. I hope you find some things that work for you soon.
Peace,
Morgan
