After having horrible experiences at 354mg and 150mg last year, I tried 60mg yesterday. I actually enjoyed it! The buzz wasn't just subtle, it was definitely noticeable. It felt vaguely like a weed high, but more clear headed and more serious? I found music to be more enjoyable too.
I spent the day with my best friend. At one point he caught me laughing to myself like an idiot and I didn't even realize I was doing it when he pointed it out. I could easily carry a conversation with him if I felt like it, but sometimes I was just too careless and lazy to respond, and was focused on whatever I was thinking about in my head. He would sit there and stare at me waiting for a reply which was enough to grab my attention and make me laugh at myself. Overall it was fun.
It's now the next day and I feel pretty awesome. Typically, I guess you could say I'm socially anxious. In recent years, it's more of a not having anything to say than a feeling of fear, although the fear is still somewhat there. I'm not much of a talker and have absolutely zero motivation TO be a talker. Even around my best friend here. But today is different. I have a lot more to say to him, and I don't feel the life being drained from me as I say it. I feel happier, more energetic, more confident, and my mind is more calm and organized. Even my speech seems more direct and organized.
Obviously dxm and SSRIs are very different drugs, but I know they both work on the serotonin system so hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question.
Thanks for any input.
