I had your start dose and kept with the for, I think, 3 months (I was about 80kg when I was on it and also took 7.5mg Adderall 2X per day).
I felt around half of the same effects as you overall. Like it could split the difference between an antidepressant and ADHD medication. I was generally just a little more at ease, better at planning my actions, down to the wording of my conversations. I think it helped me reduce my use of melatonin like you.
But my deal breaker was feeling so sedated for the second half of the day. Nothing else got in my way like coming home (from a desk job, of all occupations) and immediately passing out on the couch. I don’t know what your biggest detriment is with those side effects but personally, I’ve stopped meds for fewer negative effects than that.
That said, I’m not saying to stop taking it right now or stick it out longer than you can handle. Your doctor should know which effects are transient, I don’t. What I am saying is that all of your opinions, both positive and negative, are worth talking about with your doctor. Ideally they’ll use your feedback to track transient side effects or change the dose. Psych drugs are trial and error and it’s really aggravating when you get exactly the positives you need out of one medication and then some side effect just hits you like a brick out of nowhere or when little things just pile on over time.
He doesn’t just “give a platform to everybody” for the sake of free speech, that’s not how free speech works when you’re a host and/ or owner of a media company. He hosts a certain crowd because he wants to. It’s his show.
Literally all media is biased. If someone tells you that they are unbiased or if some other show is, they are lying. Rogan is friendly to capitalism and drug legalization, and there’s nothing wrong in disclosing it (even if I don’t personally agree with the former).
