RCseeds: Here we go (updates)

I got 'em!!  Grin
 
   My seeds came in the mail saturday! I'm currently detoxing and gotta say.... Getting off Zoloft is a BITCH! I'm planning of trying my first dose (about 10? seeds) on friday if all goes well. Sure am getting excited!!
   As I wrote a week or so ago, I'm at the very beginning of my cycle (some shadows and one kip 3 CH), and I'm gonna try to knock the beast out before he takes hold. My cycles usually last 4-6 months (last one was long, about 61/2), so if nothing else, I'm hoping to keep the beast at bay for as long as possible. Naturally I'm hoping to skip this cycle all together!!
   For those of you keeping track, or those of you wanting to try this treatment out, I will be trying to post any results I have in this thread. Should be easier to keep track of that way, I think.  
   Wish me luck!!!
 
Adam

  Well, dose number 1 went off without a hitch. No "trip" at all, no beast, no shadows, no problem! I've felt a little sluggish today, but I'm thinking that's cuz of the Zoloft withdrawls I'm dealing with. Been feeling like that for a few days now.
   Also been looking out for an energy drink I like. I really don't care for Red Bull, and I've tried a few others here and there. Finally found one I like, Freek (manic), and I'm gonna give that a try should the beast rear it's ugly head. That'll be a first for me too.
 
   Well, I guess that's it for now. Hope to keep up this PF time!! Hope all you get PF time too!!

Yup...no pain is definitely exciting!  
Don't be surprised or alarmed if it becomes necessary to dose again, Adam. It happens.
I'm happy to see such excellent results right out of the gate, though.

Hey!! Got another question...
 
   Since dosing, I've gone from light shadows beforehand, to no shadows now, and have still only had that one mild CH shortly BEFORE trying the seeds.None since.
   Should I take another dose, or wait to see if this cycle is gonna hit? The "maintenance dosing" was kinda vague in the instructions I read, so I'm not sure what I should do. Are the seeds working, or has the beast just not taken a strong enough hold yet?
   Just a reminder, I'm at the very beginning of my cycle, and don't usually see a whole lot of activity for the first month or so. After that, I'm usually hit multiple times daily for the next 4 months or so, peaking toward the end of my cycle...
 
   Any feedback from those in the know, or those who have avoided a cycle completely by using the seeds, would be greatly appreciated... Thanx all!
 
Where do I go from here?

I dunno, either.  Grin  But, I do know what I would do, if it were me.
 
I would wait, and pay attention. Should activity return, or you start getting hit again, I would dose again. Should things stay the same, or get better, I'd consider dosing at 2 week intervals until I was sure my cycle was over.  
 
Some out of cycle people dose with a small amount monthly, and increase if a cycle should rear it's ugly head.  
 
Keep us posted, Adam.  hugs, nani

Adam good advice above.
 
Pay close attention to your head. Wait untill the slightest symptoms return. theres no mistaking a cluster symptom if you've had them a while.
 You may have hit it at just the right time. No point in upsetting a good thing.

Thanx for your input. Sounds like the bottom line is don't mess with a good thing then. I guess I just wait, and see where the cycle goes from here!
And yes... I will keep you posted.
 
Thanx again, and PFDAN

Hi Adam.
 
I'm one of  the montly maintenance dosers.  I take 12 seeds the first of every month.  The minute I start getting that old awful feeling that my cycle is going to start (my last one was first of January), I  immediately upped the ante and dosed with 25 to 30 seeds, waited 5 days, then took another 25 to 30 seeds.  My cycle was completely aborted with one K7 hit, and a couple of K2 to 3 hits.  Gone!  It was amazing!
 
Pay very close attention to every little itch, twinge, tingle and determine if it's CH, or just an itch.  If you think it's CH, dose.
Even the 30 seeds, did not send me on a trip, but I slept like a baby.

Here's an update:
Had one pretty good shadow early this morning, but one NOS energy drink knocked it out with a quickness!
Gonny try another dose on wed. or thurs. and see if I can't get rid of the shadows too!  
 
Thanx to all for the energy drink idea... Worked like a charm!

  Dosed again this morning with about 17 seeds. Had a wicked headache (not CH) at the time.  I was hoping it would knock out that headache, but no such luck. I ended up taking 800mg. of Ibuprofen a few hours later, as I just couldn't take it any more. I don't recall seeing Ibu. on the "don't take" list for the seed treatment. Did I miss it, or am I ok.?.?  Either way, the seeds have kept almost EVERYTHING CH related at bay so far, so if I screwed up this dose by taking other meds, then oh well... I'll do it again in 5 days and pray my previous dose carries me through.
 
Take care, all...
Adam
 
Thanks Bob W... I double checked that after originally posting. Just wanted to add another quick update... I now know what was meant by the beast fighting back against this treatment... Got hit with about a kip 5 just a little bit ago. Stunned again by how well an energy drink took care of it. I'm gonna have to keep those on hand from now on.....Adam

  I dosed again on monday. Upped the ante a bit and went with 25 seeds. I was still getting a few shadows here and there, so wanted to see if I could knock it out.
   I waited 'til now to post, so I could report any activity after dosing. So here it is: ........
   That's it! Nothing! No CH!! No shadows!! I am just happy as shit to be posting "nothing". Grin Grin Grin I must be doing something right!
   I'm probably NOT going to dose again unless I feel some CH activity comin'. If I don't have any problems in a few months, I guess a maintenance dose would be appropriate. But 'til then...  Grin
   Thanx to my CH family, and all you "busters" who have given me such great support and advice. I just can't say thanx enough!
   I also want to send >>>VIBES<<< out to a CH buddy who is trying the seeds, and wrestling with the beast trying to get him under control.  hug Hang in there "K", you can do it!! Come join me in being pain free!!
 
Thanks everybody! I'll post any developments as they happen... Hooray for me!!  Grin

Sounds like you are getting your life back Bro!  Doesn't it feel great?  I've been of the routine of taking doses on a regular basis, but then I've been breaking a 22+ year entrenched cycle.  
 
Almost 6 months now with no hit higher than a K4, and shadows breaking through during weather changes.  (always was my nemisis)
 
Keep us posted...Sounds like another sucess story.

Tim,  
 
  Perhaps I missed your recent post, but last I heard you did not have much success with the seeds.  Are they working for you now?  What was the secret? Also, how goes the shroom farming?

Adam, I am so happy to hear that you are having success with the seeds.  I'm an absolute believer in them as they work so well for me.
 
Keep alert, watch your symptoms, and dose again when you feel you need to - minding, of course, the obligatory 5 day wait between doses.
 
Good luck, and keep us posted.

Glad it sounds like it's all sorted. You covered all the fundamentals - get it early, repeat the doses as necessary and detox properly.
 
Never managed to completely miss a cycle yet but am working pretty hard on it.  Yet to try the seeds but shall be getting an order in, off the back of the good reports since my other alternative treatments are probably past their shelf life now and avoiding the grow-bag scenario sounds too good to resist.
 
All the best
