Since I am struggling to find real treatment medication where I live, I looked up natural alternatives. Found some who speak good about saffron as having good effects. I just started taking it 2 days ago. Has anybody tried it for an extended period?

    You can waste years trying bullshit remedies from the Internet.

      I am already wasting years taking nothing at all.

      Not bullshit remody from internet. It has at least one study on about 50 people. Not very confident about it. That is why I am asking.

      Anyways, in absence of real medicine why not try something harmless, that I am already using for cooking anyways?

        I read somewhere that even if you know a placebo is a placebo, it still has some effect. So it can’t hurt. Saffron is one of the most expensive substances on the planet though so I feel like it might be good to try some other things.

    What’s the mechanism? What substance in saffron is supposedly affecting dopamine release in the brain in a way that is beneficial?
