I’ve been on 1g of Sarcosine for a little over a week. My cognition seems to have improved, but I’m experiencing some increased energy/ drive and increased libido, which is somewhat uncomfortable. I’m currently a student, and the increased drive is making me somewhat irritable, but not terribly so. I’ve been hypomanic and manic before, and this is not that. What have you done to deal with this?
I’ve also developed a mild phobia of masturbating, because I have, for some reason, conflated that habit with my lackluster/ embarrassing dating history. As my thinking goes, if I stop masturbating, which I may have done too much in the past, then I will be better suited to find romance. I’m pretty sure this is a subjective worry and that it does not have much grounding or substantive evidence; still, I’m trying to find other ways to destress aside form masturbation, things like reading and writing long posts on schizophrenia.com… Does that make sense, or does it sound mildly (or totally) delusional? I haven’t really talked to my doc about this, but I have an appointment coming up and will mention it then.
thanks
