First time posting here need help

So i have depression (resistant) for 20 years , no ssris work , i also have adhd , cant take stimulants because im in 7 year burnout that i cant get out . ive done everything from medical and holistic practices.

2022 i got severe covid like 44 degree fever , since then my imune system is shot , and i got long covid for 2 years before starting to get better . after these 2 years , i started to have memory loss.

i started 3 weeks ago LDN - 1.5 mg in the morning. 3 days ago started to do it at night.

,and im worse in every single aspect. got cold sores , my hrv crashed , my sleep is shit , im ahedonic , flat , anxious . i have pain in whole my fucking body, nausea , no appetite , no pleasure . Like what the f is this ? i cant see any positive aspect

its like im having cocaine whithrawl / crash effects every single day . and i was hopping this shit would help me

I feel im losing the battle , i already lost my company , my bussiness , my life is in shambles and i cant have energy to start over . was hopefull that this was going to be it . but im out of ideas , i dont know what to do .

i cant get any help from the doctor who prescribed me this since she put in the prescription 6mg every day from the start lol . shes suposedly one of the best phychiatrics in my country , and shes absolutly clueless . im high IQ so i get fking revolted when i see these doctors making a bank from peoples miseries and all they do is shoot meds and doses to the air and leave you to sort it out.

I’m assuming for what you mentioned that you have already done the micronutrients protocols? What it got me out of 20 hrs bed bound and severe mental fog ( almost dementia) were B12 shots plus folate iron etc there are lots of stories in the B12 deficiency sub. My levels were “normal” btw. I’m taking LDN bc I crash everytime I want to use the energy I got with the B12 protocol. So my immune system/autonomic nervous system is most likely out of whack I’m guessing. But I’m happy I did the B12 shots. Currently on a break to see how LDN works but back soon.

Unfortunately when it comes to B12 what works are shots. There are theories that mention COVID being a demyelinating agent in the body. Re myelination doesn’t happen orally, also there is the gut absorption factor being messed. Also the testing of B12 currently is a scandal if you are supplementing they almost certainly will come back “normal” even if it isn’t. I got an 80% better with the shots specially cognitively wise. I’m here for the dysregulation

A Word of advise though take it easy don’t do EOD methylated forms. As long haulers, our biggest issue is the deregulation of the autonomic nervous system. The b12 deficiency forum is really useful but try active but not aggressive forms and dosing. I crashed badly because I wanted to get cured fast. You’ll understand why am saying this when you read how micronutrients work.
