P. Cubensis and Cluster Headaches

I suffer from cluster headaches. As you may or may not know P. Cubensis is the possible cure. Cure is a strong word, perhaps the best known preventive medication. So I ate a gram on sunday night, felt funny. 2 grams on monday night, same thing, just felt funny with slight visuals. Thursday night I got a headache so I had to use the standard med. The standard med works but I'm wondering why the cubensis didn't work.

Perhaps I'm not taking enough. I didn't want to just dive right into it though. I do have experience with cubensis and psychedelics. I'm going to try tomorrow night to eat more. I didn't want to eat any tonight because I'm unsure about mixing the cubensis with my other med.

Anybody else suffer from these headaches and used cubensis for treatment?
I didn't see any other thread in the mushroom forum about the subject.

 

Have a read through this, not sure if it mentions the dose. You might have found it already, but it's worth a shot anyway

I think the therapeutic value comes from the trip, I could be wrong though. If your eating gram doses multiple days in a row you won't feel anything, psychedelic tolerance and what not. I would reccomned a 3 gram dose at least a week separate from using any other psychedelics.

 

Just based on normal reactions to cubensis mushrooms I would say that one or two grams is not a high enough dose to experience the full effect. Tolerance also plays into this a lot. You effectively had two one gram trips because the day after a trip you maintain a tolerance to the drug. Doubling the dose the day after a trip will result in about the same level of trip. Your best bet is to wait at least a week and take at least 3 or 4 grams the next time you try.

 

Thank you for the link. I have read that before and it does mention 1-2 grams works for some.

 

Thank you for the responses. I'm going to try again tonight. I know it hasn't been quite a week, it's been 4 days. I'm going to try 3-4 grams and see where that brings me.

 

Enjoy the trip

 

Thank you, the 3 grams were ate and now I wait.

 

Here is another thread I started. It is a short write up about an experience I had with salvia. It also contains some background information about me. I invite you to take a look.

Allot of people have no interest in a trip. In fact they want to avoid them, they are only interested in relief.

I can relate to the man in the video alot. I don't know if it's the day after feeling but I became emotional watching that video.
I do enjoy the feeling that cubensis provides. I enjoyed my 3 gram experience last night. I smoke cannabis so every now and then a couple hits enhanced the visuals and overall mood of the trip. It was nothing special, I just sat around and watched movies. I tried to play some video games but couldn't get into it. Then I was just laying in bed for a few hours soaking it all in. It was nice.

 

Didn't watch the video, but no, I think that for cluster headaches (though, nothing else) the theraputic value is pretty much disconnected from the trip-maybe not totally, though.

I think inactive LSD analogs are used as well. But those obviously require being very lucky and in a study, or something. You can't just pick them.

 

From my understanding psilocin and serotonin are very similar. In effect you shock your brain into sorting itself out chemicaly. The brain thinks it has an excess of serotonin and has to fix everything. It's during this change that the headache cycle is disrupted.

I'm not a Dr. this is all theory and paraphrased from other things I've read.
