It was indeed a terrifying journey. Always had a bit of anxiety, but never shaking uncontrollably because of it. Prior to the disorder I traveled the world and had no anxiety being on TV or interviewing celebrities.
I used (and still use) the supplement. Spent a week on PubMed researching articles. Basically if you’re on an SSRI or have blood pressure issues it’s a no-go. Lion’s mane helps rebuild neural connections in the hippocampus, which is the most-overlooked aspect of regulating anxiety and it’s only been the past few years where it is better understood. At one point I couldn’t go further than down the street and Excedrin would be too much caffeine and give me a panic attack. Now I can have as much coffee as I want and drive wherever.
I’m outside of the house at the moment.
I’m hoping you are keeping good habits at home, like brushing your teeth and taking out the trash.
I am, mostly. Depression is a pain in the ass.
I was practically homebound from panic disorder. Lion’s mane saved my ass.
Lion’s Mane supplement or just straight up Lion’s Mane mushrooms?
How did they end up helping? I hadn’t heard of this use of them before.
I’d like to know a bit more if you don’t mind. I’m sure some others in this post may want to know as well due to the topic.
I’m a bit of an amateur mycologist and grow Lion’s Mane from time to time.
Let me drop some links!
