To fight depression urgently, it wasn't bad when I trialed Paroxetine last month. However, it became near impossible to orgasm (it's the worst SSRI of it's kind regarding this field) and kills the libido.
Now I don't need it anymore. Other natural stuff (B3 + Lions Mane + psilocybin = Stamet's staking) I take do the job better with no negative sides ...felt. But I won't endorse it for safety, especially vitamin B3 since there are forms more or less harmful in - poorly studied - large doses, up to be fatal within a couple months (liver failure & less so stomach deterioration, which could require organ transplant). If B3 Niacin is sought, then no mistake should be made, the Nicotinic acid version, instant release, is the safest. Avoid it as Niacinamide and/or in extended / sustained release. And take the least amount. 15g-20g per day is the target through normal diet. I'm at 250g whereas the dangerous amount ranges between 1-2g to 6g daily (usually prescribed as a medical treatment lol). When my tolerance has established, I will drop to 100mg (where I started) again and probably won't experience any flush anymore.
Initially, I thought it was the magic truffles which were acting the most, but by modulating my intakes, I realised it was likely the innocent B3 in my case. Prolly cause I was defficient too, since it is contained mostly in all the meats and I'm ovo-lacto vegetarian principally, when not vegan, so I must have been under the daily recommended dose. I will test my B3 levels under supplements in a month to verify they're not over the roof.
Overall, found it VERY interesting cause I had never heard about it. B3 Niacin also "repairs your DNA" as well as

The info I read surprised me. I knew that vitamin defficiencies could fuck you up (B12 for vegans) but I didn't really think before, that the logic could be extended to probably a lot more base vitamins
After reading about all this, who knows if having it in excess helps ? The science is a lot unexplored.
Personally, for the past 10 days, I have been on B3 + Lions Maine strictly (for organisation matters only), and felt as good as with shrooms plus Paroxetine. Actually better, cause no bad sides of the anti-depressant
Many people boast the benefits of vitamin B-3 for treating depression. We'll explain what science says and how a niacin deficiency may be connected.

Niacin (vitamin B3) is a very important nutrient for your body. It has many health benefits, along with several side effects if you take large doses.

High doses of niacin can cause niacin flush, which appears as red skin that may itch or burn. This article explains what this is and whether it’s harmful.
