I have been on zoloft for around two years, and while it has been effective for depressive thoughts, the cognitive dulling, and libido issues were starting to get to me. Though first of all I would like to say that for a large segment of those with MDD, that anti depressants will actually increase cognition, once your brain is back to where it was prior to the depression, is when you can start to notice the major dulling. Depression can cause severe psychomotor retardation(decreased cognitive tempo), brain atrophy, hpa dysfunction, and make you slow as molases, with a nasty case of leaden paralysis and apathy. This is all well documented so I won't bother getting into it. I am a firm believer that taking pharmaceutical SSRI's outweighs the risk/damage that will been done if left unmedicated(which happens, usually due to the misinformation).
So with this said, as an experimental person by nature, and being in a position to do so, I decided to see if Zembrin really could match up against a pharmaceutical SSRI. Zembrin is a proprietary extract of Kanna, special in it's production, and alkaloid contents. It has both SSRI, and PDE4 inhibiting properties. Which IMO makes it very specia…

Makes sense. What about using longvida with bioperine, and/or taking another dose 12 hours after my first dose?

No need for piperine with Longvida. the solid lipid curcumin particle absorbs whole through the GI tract. So you don't need to inhibit p-glycoprotein. You can certainly take another dose of Longvida, though.
