I got the Amyloban in today and took it at 11:40am. It has been 4 hours past and all I can feel so far is a burst of energy. I don’t know if I should take more or not, but I won’t. I will wait tomorrow morning and see what it will be like.

So it’s been about 7 hours since I took it and I am feeling somewhat better. I was itching earlier but that went away. I was also having some EPS and took 2mg of benztropine. After that my derealization began to relieve and my delusions are fading in and out. I’m also not so depressed. I guess I will take this for the rest of the week and report back.
Seriously man, it takes weeks for most.

I’ve been on 1 tablet a day of Mushroom Wisdom’s ‘Super’ Lion’s Mane for about a month now.
Within the last week, I described some of my hero-name ‘delusions’ to my psychologist. I included many of them leading up to psychosis and many of the present ones.
He didn’t seem very concerned, and basically asked me to focus on how to improve my career, and to not define myself with a negative label like ‘schizophrenia.’ I believe I’m still doing well at the same job that I’ve had for over 2 years.
So, the Lion’s Mane, and the additional neuroplasticity, does not seem to be making me delusional. Still no hallucinations. If the first test of a self-treatment is ‘do no [serious] harm,’ maybe it passes so far.
Thanks for starting the thread @anon82948922

I posted just under 3 weeks ago that I had received the Amyloban tablets and was just waiting for the ‘all clear’ for my wife to start taking them. Now, she is currently living in a care home for people with mental health issues (mainly older people with dementia though), so I had to wait to get an appointment with her and her psychiatrist to discuss the tablets. We finally had that appointment yesterday.
I was already aware that the psychiatrist wouldn’t be able to recommend that she take the tablets from a medical point-of-view - he just wanted to hear her say that she understood what the tablets were, and why she was taking them.
Everytime I have seen her over the past few weeks she said, “yes, I will take the tablets” - despite still being in denial about her illness, so what did she say yesterday infront of the psychiatrist, her care worker and the manager of the carehome? “No, I will not take the tablets because I don’t have schizophrenia.” The psychiatrist wasn’t convinced she was capable of understanding the situation, and even the manager of the carehome refused to store the tablets or even ask her staff to administer the tablets, because they are not UK/EU certified.
I am soooo angry and disappointed right now having got my hopes up so much (I knew I shouldn’t have!) All I want to do is try something that MAY help her massively, but now I can’t even do that.
Sorry for the rant, just needed to get that off my chest.
You don’t have to have sz to take amyloban, there are case studies on dementia and cognitive enhancement too. My mom takes them daily and says it clears her brain fog and helps with memory. It’s so much more than sz. Try to get that message across

@Moonwalker, I’ve started taking them myself - no point in wasting them!
I took amyloban for 5 months at first I thought it was working but was placebo later on I was still hearing voices as normal didn’t reduce.

That’s a shame @maniuk, that’s why there needs to be proper trials of amyloban and lions mane across different types of people to see if there really are benefits to taking it.
It also helps with pain from nerve damage. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it helped with managing pain in my neck, shoulders, and back from some injuries in my youth. Nearly a year later it’s still working for that and improving my quality of life.

So it’s been about a month. I’ve noticed a definite lack of pain in my wrist and ankle, but it has still not had any effect on my mood. Ah well, it doesn’t advertise itself as a mood stabilizer.

I had to stop using it. No effect on my mood, and it lowered my blood pressure to the point of making me dizzy

Good that you tried though.
I stopped taking it as of today, since my positive symptoms are so controlled I can’t even hear a peep now (thanks to Daily Essential Nutrients,) so it just seems unnecessary.

Hm. May have to try the nutrients, but don’t think I’ll mess with the Amyloban. Gift horse, baby.
Edit: @Ninjastar, you should have realized it does nothing for my mood swings given that you see what I flag! (Hehehehe.)

By all means, continue Amyloban 3399 if you can afford it. My budget is stretched thin though, and I’ve “outgrown” it, it seems.
If you’re considering D.E.N. though, you’ve got to look at this carefully: https://www.hardynutritionals.com/article/clinical-reference/17-side-effects-drug-interactions
I totally get that. Tell Mr. Star that slow and long foot rubs are a good substitute and also in his best interest.

Amyloban made me dizzy too. I lowered the dose to only 1 tablet every day about one month ago which kept my blood pressure at a critical point of (60/90). So I have figured out that 1 tablet daily is the maximum dose for me.

Would have been nice if it had lowered my blood pressure enough that I could have ditched the meds for it. Not a thing in my case.
