@thyroidchor27 said in Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) eliminated OCD:

ws wondering if glutmte is something enhnced by pde4

A quick search online lead to these results:

According to the first one rolipram (a strong pde4 inhibitor) increased glutamate release. But in the other one it blocked the reduction of GABAergic inhibition induced by cocaine and restored the balance between excitation and inhibition in VTA dopamine neurons.

I haven't tried nearly all GABAergics or anti-glutamatergics, but out of the ones I've tried, only passionflower helped. And it helped a lot.

By the way, I took another dose of FS5 yesterday, this time 50 mg orally. I'll write more about my experiences later, maybe after 2 or 3 weeks after some more experimentation, but I'll already say that this is probably the best thing I've taken so far during my entire health journey.

@pondfountain I honestly have stopped taking anything for my ocd. I just need to learn to accept my thoughts as thoughts. OCD is similar in schizophernia to my opnion because you can have delusional thoughts but you belive them as true and shape your reality. Lately ive had an obssesion were I feel like I have to pee 24/7. Literally psychosomatic. I thought I had diabetes for a while and my doc said not traditional diabetes but maybe diabetes inspidus (water diabetes) which can either be caused by tumors or mental illines i.e scchizophernia or OCD. It is brutal but I cant use a life long crutch I hae to face my demons so I can stop being controlled by fear and accept uncertainty.
