I decided that tomorrow I will be using DXM for various reasons. First I will describe my plan then ask for further insights on how to reduce possible side effects and possible onley's lesion (I think that counts as harm reduction? right?)
I read a little about onley's lesions and came up with some infos, so I plan on taking everything I know can help avoid them, and since I will take a fairly low dose and am really not a dissociative user, I have done it about 5 times in the last 4 years I have even lower chances of creating them but there is no impossible when we are talking about biochemistry. (also I am not worried about psychic effect, I am really experianced with psychedelics and went places which I didnt know existed without being ready and came back fully sane.
So my plan is to take a medium amount of DXM about between 2nd and 3rd plateau, I will also use to prevent onley's lesions:
-1/2 tab to 3/2 tab of LSD depending on the time of the day I start the trip
-Low amount of clonidine (also to lower BP)
-Lots of rooibos tea to prevent free radical damages to the best I can,
-Noopept for neuroprotection (also to help memory formation)
-L-theanine to reduce possible stress and protect neurons from oxidative stress
-B-complex and D vitamin to avoid depletion
-Medium amount of benzo (also to lower BP and possible but quite unlikely, to lower anxiety)
-And low amount of DPH in the middle or at the end of the trip (about 50mg, also to reduce muscle tension/ soreness)
I will also avoid caffeine, my ADD med, and pretty much anything that can increase BP and heart rate.
I will also take Magnesium supplements for muscle cramps, and plan on staying home watching movies/ any kind of TV and music and meditation/energy manipulation, so nothing disturbing, my parents will be home but I am 19 and they know all about my history with drugs (over 200 psychedelic trips but mostly serotonergic psychedelic, but never tried coke or MDMA or basically anything that has danger of either addiction or intense neuronal damange) and they usually don't notice that I am high no matter what drug I take, I once was on 7/2 tab of LSD and they didnt notice, so no stress there, in fact I like being with my parents while tripping it makes me feel closer to them. But I digress.
My only questions regarding this trip are;
1-during a DXM trip I know sedation can be a factor but do I want to be still tripping when I go to bed? or just finished tripping? or spending some time awake after tripping before bed. Reason I ask is because I am susceptible to insomnia and was wondering what time to dose to make sure I don't get insomnia after the trip. Becasue if the comedown is an upregulation of NMDA receptors it can lead to insomnia and overstimulation.
2- Does any1 know anything else than what I mentionned to reduce the chances of onley's lesion, I found that psychedelics, benzo, antioxydants, vitamins, alpha2 adrenergic agonists and some other chemicals can help but does any1 know about other kind of supplements/herbals that can help avoid it (other than those I mentionned).
Basically I want to have a trip that lead to the lower amount of possible insomnia and lower amount of possible onley's lesions.
(sorry if the text seems a little disorganised I did the best I could, and if this better fits in the phamacology section I'd be glad that it is switched there).
