Wrong Kind Of Mind For Acid?

I never taken acid, my husband thinks I'm mad for even thinking about it. Should people with any psychological issues avoid acid? I ask this because of my long history of depression and past history of Agoraphobia and social phobia (still have to some degree). I just wonder if acid could make these things re-appear or get worse.

 

Be careful. Only you know how you feel.

Acid can make any mental/emotional stuff worse.

 

^ Very true. I have an unstable mental state, but I never had a problem with any trips. It depends on how comfortable you are with complete insanity (well, that depends on how much acid you take of course)

 

I don't think I would take very much the first time, not knowing what it wil be like and everything.


In what way do you see yourself as being unstable?

 

Oh, I have been disgnosed with schizophrenia, depression, OCD, but I refuse to take meds and get treatment since I believe I have it under control. Havent seen a doctor since I was 13

 

hmm agoraphobia? doesnt sound like a good combo to me,
your blasting open your mind, stepping from your confy lil closed space into an infinate universe ..
now some may just say try it & see, but id suggest really being cautios
justto be safe, have your husband keep a supply of umm anyone know what vitimins it is againthat will bring u down from bad trips? b 12? i forget, but theres certain vitimins or combos that will almost end the trip if things go badly, i'd have him keep a supply on hand just in case

its possible that it could make your situation worse, but its also slightly possible that it will help the agoraphobia at least, but not the socialanxiety

it really all depends onyou, your mind your environment & yes whats going on around u at the time
it is a powerful mind expansion, so just be aware it does affect yopur mind, & treat it with respect
if your nervouse about it, maybe a good idea to trust that nervousness & choose not to..
not everyones meant to trip

 

well I dont know

its a thing to try

it might scare you

but not kill you

its a choice

I think its worth

even if it messes things around

but if ya trip regularely im sure everyhting will come back full bowln

 

eagle... niacinimide also benzodiazeprines (aka Xanax) can be used to shorten a trip. I'd suggest to the original poster that you do some serious research if you're uncertain. Erowid's FAQ is pretty decent, and there's other resources out there too.

 

Sounds quite similar to myself (aside from the depression part - I have a disturbingly positive outlook on life )

I'd say I bad trip almost as often as I have good trips.. but as someone else already said, it depends how you feel about complete insanity, because it can literally feel that way sometimes, and that's been pretty disturbing for me.

 

It could make it worse or it could cure you.

 

here is a thread i made about Phobias and acid. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193655
acid and shrooms both seemed to help me with my phobias. but everyones different.

 

thnx wheels but ithought theres also sa vitimin combo..maybe im wrong

umm someone else with simular probs statred that he had as many bad as good trips
that alone says its modst likely not for you
i've tripped who knows how many hundreds of times & had only 1 bad trip ever

ive also seen some people with histories of varuis problems have bad trips from hell..scary trips..

just know that it could be something prettty good..or pretty damn bad & make your choice
i personaly wouldnt rrecomend it except maybe if your with experienced trippers or healers whoknow how to handdle things if they go very wrong
ofcourse things could go very right too..like he said u prolly got a 50/50 chance

 

i remember back in like,, 83 or so,, i was hooked up with some house hippies with mega cash.

man they would throw down a party when i brought the L around..

there was this one brothers old lady tho..

man she would geek over 1 dose,, i meen seriously beg to be took to the hospital etc..

the dood 3 times in a row took her in a walk in closet an restrained her an basically gagged her till she quit freekin out..

needless to say after the 3rd time,, i quit playin the mad doser with them folks..


yeah if ya question yer mental state,, id say dont do it.
takes a strong mind to do good drugs..

love n light..

 

NO! not always anyway. My last acid trip i took just half a bar to help me get to sleep but instead of it doing what it should have, it did the complete opposite. I thought that was weird.

 

Thank you all for your advice. Funnily enough my husband said that I'd have a 50/50 chance of having a good/bad trip and he does'nt like the idea of me freaking out and him not being able to do anything to help me. My phobia's etc came to a head about 12 years ago and I've been on and off medication for depression/anxiety over hat time, although right now I'm fine, not taking and med's at all (unless you include Nicotine patches!) The only times a can tend to anxious is when I'm surrounded by other parents when I pick up the kids from school or in a waiting room of some sort, but it is never an acute anxiety attack (thank goodness) I found ways and means, coping mechanisms to talk myself out of that.


I would still like to try it, just so that I know what it's like. But since it would be my husbands contacts that would supply the stuff, chances are he won't agree to get it for me.

 

I don't know any experienced trippers unfortunatley, but thank you for your advice just the same.

 

Have you ever tried MDMA?

Although there are risks with it, it can also be very theraputic and give insights into one's mind.
Generally, it isn't really like LSD, although it is possible to have a negative experience on it, it is quite rare.

If you decide to try acid, then I agree with skip that a low dose is the thing to begin with - or even try mushrooms instead. That way, it is easier to know exactly how much you are taking.
It is also much better to be around those who have some experience with it when taking it.

Also - if you take it expecting a bad time, or have anxiety about it, it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

It's a good idea, I might try mushrooms first. Yeah, I've heard that negativity prior to taking acid can be the cause of a bad trip, I would'nt attempt to do it if I felt it was the wrong time.

 

The only drawback with mushrooms is that they can have wierd effects on the digestive system - you can experience some discomfort in the initial stages.
That can be solved to an extent by not eating them but making mushroom 'tea' - just boil them up for a few minutes and drink.

In the UK this is the time of year to find them, esp. after all this rain.
