psychedelic depression

[shroomman]

i feel like ever since i had a bad depressing trip i have tended to feel depressed long after the trip. what are long term effects of doing shrooms while depressed, and can shrooms unlock or cause depression. how long will it last?????

[white ginger]

its not about how long it will last
its when you decide to heal

I've gone through something like this
If you want help feel free to ask me

[Ocean Byrd]

I heard that shrooms can cause problems with serotonin levels; don't know how to help you though.

[sag aloo]

I kinda lost it on mushrooms needed therapy & meds after

[white ginger]

yeah I got put on celexa for a while, but then I smoked pot again after like 2 months and I remembered how to cry so I poured that shit down the toilet.

meds are bullshit. They shrink your mind and they're unhealthy, the day after I poured them down the drain, there were these big warning things saying "FDA ISSUES WARNING AGAINST ANTI-DEPRESSANTS"
theyre shit, don't take them. You have the power to heal yourself. And if you decide to, nothing can stop you.

shrooms brought me out of some depressed feelings......and i felt much more enlightened ever since then

[Cosmic Butterfly]

They are a very powerful healing tool.

I had a horrible time on shrooms once, I nearly cut all of my hair off and maybe cut myself. It lingered with me for maybe a week afterwards. It was both a physical and mental feeling that was very very dark. That was the only bad one I had though.

[shroomman]

mine wasnt that bad, i had mostly depressed feelings, felt very anxious/paranoid at times, and felt like i was goin nuts. but i calmed myself down, think i just took too much to fast. i wasnt in the right mindframe, i think it was me doin them too much. i havent done them for a while, i will do them again eventually when i feel better and try to work things out.

Ive had shit like that once, had I girl I liked, ate too many shrooms, had a trip and thought about not seeing her again and not being able to go through with life, I was depressed after, I just smoked a couple joints and listened to some music in the dark every night for an hour or two. I got over the depressing feeling and now Im happy then ever.

I've had a psychedelic depression once... lasted about 2 weeks... I had finished a shroom trip that I was not too impressed with and felt I had a lot of unanswered questions.

It was all cured with a massive shroom trip at the end of spring break. I finished all of those conclusions that I had been working on and have felt amazing ever since.

hi,
i wonder if after a really bad trip (no details; take too long, but died several times), with magic mushroom, that happened two years ago, i may experience now a nervous breakdown. Is there anyone who can tell me if a link exists between magic mushrooms and serotonine?
many thanks

i know psilocybin does sumpthing to your serotonin but im not sure if it depletes any of it, but i think it does. try takin some 5-htp you can get it at a vitamin shop. i think having a bad trip will cause you sum discontentment for a while afterward because you have to work out what caused it and why it happened. maybe they were telling you sumpthing.

[geckopelli]

The best cure is a corrective trip.

a smaller amount in a secure setting with someone you trust to guide your trip. Your guide should not be on shrooms unless VERY experienced.

Three old hippy/deadheads I know and I took a dozen 18-20 year-olds to the beach and dosed them good on the 4th.

A couple of them had a bit of a rough time, but it was easily handled (even though I was WASTED completley) because they trust me implicitly.

One guy had never even smoked a joint. I dosed the shit out of him, and he had an incredible time- becuase he was surrounded by friends he trusted.

[shroomman]

exactly after my bad trip, i slowly took low doses, i still had feelings of anxiety and all that but it wasnt bad because i was in control. just last night i uped the dose to 2g and had a great trip and now i feel better about everything, i feel like i can go back into a trip with control and calmness. there are rules you must follow, dont be ignorant, and respect the mushroom.

[Moonjava]

I did them once and felt paranoid afterwards. Like when the phone would ring or something I'd just get a bad feeling. That was like 7 months ago, though... I'm doing better now. :)

[sPiNtHeDiSc]

Usually on bad trips I can't "lose myself in the moment". I find that im always worried that I can only think about the future, and in the future ill be doing the same thing..."Theres no way to escape this..." and thats when I start to panic.
Well sometimes i get that feeling after doing certain drugs...its a horrible feeling...

[Mushroom Master]

I think that before you trip you should start fasting 1 to 2 days before the trip to clear your head. then meditate some the day of the trip and relax and stay calm.

[LostChord]

then meditate some the day of the trip and relax and stay calm.
meditate the day before... then before you eat them, then when they kick in, then when you come down, then keep going afterwards to get a true understanding of your experiences


shit man.. f'n meditate everyday

I never have a bad trip on shrooms. I sometimes get really paranoid around small groups of people, like 5-10. In public though, I don't have a problem. As far as what is causing your depression, it probably insnt the drugs themselves, but a problem you are having that the drugs make more evident. In general, if you are depressed, physically sick, or have any type of problem that may affect you physically or mentally, drugs aren't what you should be doing. If life isn't so hot now, take a break, get back to reality, get on track, and then try shrooms again. The only problems drugs can create are caused by doing too many, and not doing what you should be doing in life.

I've felt like that before....it tends to get bad that way around the last half of the trip. I've thought to myself once how it wouldn't matter one bit if I died right then, and it wasn't nice. The thought of no escape, and how everything is worthless.

I took a little less for my last time, and that was a lovely mellow trip; I felt calm and okay with it all, and I really enjoyed it. I'm glad I lessened the dose - it reminded me of WHY I take mushrooms. :)

Yeah I know the feeling...that's happened to me before.....it lasted a long time too..like about two weeks....the same thing happened to me a couple of times after swallowing a couple of e pills....the aftermaths are horrible....I got so depressed that it was uncontrolable...it overcame my emotions...took right over me.....I don't have a definite cure..but weed helps though...smoke before consuming and after...try to have company most of the time after and while you're consuming...relax your mind before the trip...try to avoid any thoughts..empty your mind...do it when something good and exciting happens to you..and for the aftermaths...well that's another issue.....

I just tripped last night.


My goal was to sort of save myself from the darkside of me. I had a battle within myself to correct things.

It's still a foggy morning for me, but I feel great. Better than I've been in a long time anyway.

I love psychedelics, they help me heal myself.

Definitely agree....it's like self therapy....

I wanna eat the rest of my shrooms, but I can't

bah!
