zoloft also has very little side effects but pharmacologically fluvoxamine has higher affinity for the sigma-1 receptors where it acts as an agonist rather than antagonist like zoloft - this promotes neurogenesis, neuroprotection and has anti-amnesic effects. zoloft's antagonism at sigma-1 receptors may promote analgesia and decreases dopamine transporters. zoloft also blocks dopamine transporters and is a mild anticholinergic (unlike fluvoxamine) Fluvoxamine is better.

What's wrong with GABA?
I take magnesium regularly
I tried vaporizing cbd but it worked somehow badly on my memory,
I only tested cbd oil for a short while so I have no opinion.
for sleep I throw in melatonin spray + GABA and it works great. i heard that tolerance to GABA grows quickly but i use it quite short time.
I also have a suspicion that my well-being dictates 375 mg testosterone cypionate each week but who knows....

>how did you get prinzmetal diagnosed and what symptoms do/did you experience?

The beauty of living in canada means im still on a waitlist for a holter ecg, which would confirm the diagnostic, doctor went and gave me amlodipine and made me stop modadinil, all empirical data from his inquiries and my personal experience points to prinzmetal, else the bp drugs would have done fuck all.

You can google prinzmetal angina, my symptoms are a textbook example of it. Fortunately, the medication alleviates them 16-18 hours at a time, so i only have to suffer for a few hours a day. Again, living in canada means im still on a waitlist to see a doctor as an outpatient to get a dosage adjustment.

as a matter of principle it's not good to take the straight neurotransmitter (not selective enough, cf L-DOPA and it's side effects), although to be fair GABA may not even cross the blood brain barrier so may not do anything. The melatonin should be enough
Yeah vaping cbd all day will do that, just do sublingual oil at bedtime or capsules a few hours before

Do your palpitations feel like spasms? Prinzmetal is associated with tobacco use (not sure if explicitely smoking or general nicotine use) and symptoms usually happen at night.

Did Adderall 10mg for about 2 months, 2-3 times a week. Stripped joy out of my life and devoted that time to enjoy reading. Now I can function without it/don't need it. If I have to be on task for hours on end, I just ingest caffine/L-theanine for that time.
