Yeah dude, the more I think about it now the more I realize what could be causing this and what I've found to be improving it. So basically took some ritanserin the night before last to increase sleep quality. It worked in this regard but I think made me pretty fatigued. I took 2mg of MB yesterday and 1 extra drop of thyroid to compensate. Strangely enough I also took a decent dose of gelatin. Woke up today feeling kinda shitty but as day progressed felt better and better. I think this is because MB, Thyroid, and Gelatin combined. I had noticed this the other day when I took 2x the gelatin as usual and had positive effects. The things I am doing - MB, Thyroid, Gelatin, Ritanserin I think are working slowly in my favor and I just need to give them time to do their thing. Sleep quality is so much deeper now and I can thank Ritanserin a lot for that. I started dosing it everyweek and am glad I did. I don't think anything can beat SWS.
I also recently quit supplementing niacinmide by natures way and ordered some from health natura. I think natures way niacinmide may be funky...
I'm surprised and shocked I feel so much better today. I woke up thinking "oh boy heres another day of just barely going through life like a robot." And then came improvement.
Thanks for l-lysine reccomendation. I find this kind of interesting - do you have sources? Nothing too serious on the inquiry so if you cant remember that's okay.
Was wondering if you know if they can test the pancreas? Or how did you determine that you were deficient to begin pancreatic enzymes?
This thread has some interesting info regarding glutamate and depersonalization/derealization: High Levels Of Glutamate Implicated In Depression / Suicide

I don't know that I'm deficient in pancreatic enzymes, but I have had some problems with brainfog in relation to digestion and especially gluten and starches. Methylene blue helps short term if I ingest gluten by accident but it's a superficial aid. I think my small intestine is inflamed and leaky, that's what I've deduced. I get more and more allergies, had to cut out a lot of foods. Source Natural has a pancreatin product that is 8x and contains only magnesium stearate as a filler, it's worth trying. I find eating 4 to 8 of these pills on an empty stomach before bed specially useful. Some people get more benefit from fungal derived enzymes. I read that the pancreas produce bicarbonate for the small intestine to neutralize the acidity from stomach acid. With insufficient pancreas the food would then sit in the small intestine and ferment while waiting for sufficient bicarbonate to continue the process. A bit of sodium bicarbonate can help in this case if you take it a couple of hours after eating. @PhilParma have you tried this?
