With power comes great responsibility, psychedelics can bring positive effects as much it can bring negative effects. I got really fucked up with a moderate dosage, I was unable to code for months. But on the bright side, I was able to suddenly stop hair pulling, which is a condition I have since kid.

Are you willing to share any additional details?

[gusbremm]

Sure, what do you want to know?

[ketamine]

I am curious if there was something specific about nit being able to code or if you were experiencing issues in general.

My treatments with ketamine were done by an anesthesiologist and I told him I felt like we were playing a bit of "fuck around and find out" with this stuff.

I still want psychedelic therapy with psilocybin in a professional setting so I am interested in more datapoints around negative experiences especially from a peer in the same field.

After that dosage (wasn't my first try, BTW), I felt really well, the trip was very good, I felt light, I managed to deal with a lot of inner problems I have been carrying since kid.

But I was unable to sleep. I stayed awake for 3 days in a row, then I completely lost my mind, I was mixing reality with fantasy. My wife took me to emergency were I was given antipsychotics which broke that state and I was able to sleep.

But for the next weeks I had crying episodes out of nowhere and they gave me a higher AP dosages.

Slowly I was able to stabilize, but it took me months. The AP side effects were also awful.

Did the mushroom trip did this? Probably not, but it trigger the sleep deprivation which chain-reacted to something worse.
