Okay , I've got kind of a big problem. I never was a drug user but out of nowhere I just started using a lot of psychedelics in a short period of time. Because I loved it, but wasn't aware of the side effects. Ecstasy, DOC (its like acid), Salvia, and 2-ci. But now I've had severe memory loss, I hallucinate a tiny bit here and there, have some schizophrenia symptoms and sometimes when I look in the mirror, I just look weird. No one has said anything to me or gave me any weird looks, I think it might all be in my head, but I look in the mirror, think about the drugs and it bothers me. Also, I get highs and lows like bipolar disorder. And when I'm low, I get really low. Shit is annoying. I wasn't a heavy user AT ALL, it was just a short period of time that I was messing around with these things. Its just I'm just sensitive to that shit, like when I use to trip, I use to trip hard. I haven't touched anything in over 2 months. My memory is getting better cuz I'm exercising my brain. I've even stopped smoking weed cuz I would feel like I'm on some hard psychedelic shit when I smoke. Do you think I can get these weird effects away with time and exercise? I don't want to have to go to a psychiatrist and get diagnosed with a disorder when its because of drug use. Its manageable, but I'm just recuperating and I don't want to see people I know in this weak state. Will it go away? What do you think?
Just give it time. I'm sure the drugs probably changed your outlook on things, so you will probably always perceive things differently just because of the experiences you had. But, I don't think you will have memory problems or weird feelings if you stop for a while. I definitely think it's a good idea to stop smoking weed because that alone can definitely affect memory and mood pretty seriously.
Okay, thanks so much. The support helps a lot. I definitely been getting better, but its a slow process. I looooove psychedelic trips, I just wish there wasn't negative effects. I really regret doing it so much because I remember I was SO enlightened after trippin a couple times. It was amazing. But after doing it too much, I feel the exact opposite. This whole process recuperating is gonna suck, laying low, but Ima have to man up and deal with it. My brain has gotten slower. Any suggestions on how to help this and my process as a whole? I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much.
Salvia has been pritty harmless so far that i know of, i know guys that have done it atleast 50-100 times without to many neg effects. Ecstasy isant something i would ever touch, it can really depress you after the high. And idk about Acid either, some poeple report to never be the same again after trieing it. I would say just keep living life, and dont touch any drugs for a while. Or go to a doctor if your really worried:cheers2: And if you do use drugs again, i would stick to weed. Its the least harmful of any of the above. And shouldn't mess up your everyday life at all
everyone's brain chemistry is different. and can handle psychedelics better/worse. doing an overly large amount, or repeating small doses in a short period of time can lead to worse effects. how often exactly did you trip and how much did you take? i've done acid and shrooms plenty of times. after some of my trips i felt that i would never be the same, but in a good way; enlightened, loving, just happy. overtime that has faded, but it's still a part of me, mostly because i want it to be a part of my personality rather than the acid itself. if you try and work through this and lay off the drugs i'm sure you'll get over it.:cheers2: edit; do you know if you have a family history of or any other pre-dispositions to schizophrenia/bi-polar disorder?

I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much. I can't pin point exactly. But, within 2 days I smoked about half a gram of salvia. I've popped around 6 g ladys. Doc I probably did around 5 times, and 2-ci twice. Again, when I use to trip, I use to trip hard, I'm sensitive to that stuff. I'd always wait at least a week to ever trip again, mostly 2 weeks. And I never took more than a single dose when I tripped accept one time I popped 2-1/2 rolls and one time DOC I took a little over a single dose. All of this I probably did in the span of 5-6 months maybe. I'm not sure though. Actually my aunt and half brother have some type of disorder.
