I have an anxiety problem and I did LSD before it was diagnosed (but not before I had been suffering anxiety issues for years).
My trip was pretty normal, but I freaked out in the weeks and months afterwards. I knew next to nothing about LSD, and managed to whip myself up into an anxious (also ignorant) frenzy about the dangers of the drug, the possibility that I would now go insane, etc. These were not pleasant or productive times.
So, two bits of advice for anyone with anxiety thinking about hallucinogens:
- Know the facts.
- Be aware of possible negative interactions with popular meds (e.g. SSRIs, etc.)
Note: I haven't done LSD again. I'd like to try Ectasy, but I'm on meds for anxiety/depression that don't mix well with MDMA.
- cnp 12y agoI would try to find pure mdma, plan on getting off your meds a couple weeks in advance, and then give it a spin with a friend you can really talk honestly with. I've known two people who have completely eliminated their anxiety after one dose which subsequently cured their depression (address the cause (anxiety) and the problem goes away).
