    So, I want to preface this with “it affects everyone differently”. If you are at all curious about it and live in a place with functioning healthcare, you may as well give them a try. Worst comes to worst, you try them for a month and they don’t work. Personally, I kinda wish I had tried them sooner.

    Anyway, for me I think that they allow me to feel more of a “range” of emotions. I still have good and bad days, but that’s better than bad and terrible days. It’s actually interesting to me, because it feels like I’ve unlocked a range of emotions and need to learn how to manage them like a normal person.

    I also sometimes get this weird euphoric feeling that everything is going to work out and that the world isn’t as bad as it seems. I also seem to be better at motivating myself, although still not good at it yet. Since taking them, I’ve been able to push boundries and do things I wasn’t confident doing before. But I still don’t exercise enough and eat too much takeout. :P

    However, I do feel that there’s a tiredness in the back of my head that inhibits my ability to do intellectual tasks? Someone else described it as feeling like carrying an anvil around, and I can kinda see that. Although I did pick up a really bad habit of bedrotting during my depression, which I have yet to shake off. Maybe if I exercise more regularly I will feel better?

    For libedo… I do feel that it has gone down a lot. Especially in the first few weeks of taking them. However, I also was really worried and obsessing over that part of them before taking them, so maybe I placebo’d myself into thinking I had issues? The biggest sex organ is the brain and all that. A lot of my anxiety and depression was related to sex stuff as well, so that may tie into it.

    Anyway, that’s my experiences. Let me know if anyone has any more questions. I like talking about myself. :P
