The worst anxiety I have ever experienced was from a bad trip that caused intense panic and days of anxiety and paranoia after. Can anybody anecdotally attest to psychedelics helping anxiety?
- mysecretaccount 5y agoThere are already completed studies that show positive impact from psilocybin on anxiety. My experience as someone who has mild anxiety (and always feared having a "bad trip") was that, though I had some challenging and uncomfortable (but ultimately rewarding) thoughts during the experience, the "afterglow" was a couple weeks of enhanced mood and little-to-no anxiety.
- joshschreuder 5y agoThe afterglow as you put it was quite amazing. I don’t suffer from anxiety myself but my mood and feeling for some time after was incredible. I strongly believe that there is something there worth studying.
