This is pretty complicated and involves MDA, psilocybin, LSD, and medical complications. Unsure where to post as a result, but knew I had to try to find the answer on Bluelight. Sorry in advance for the length.
The background: My partner is a cancer survivor and had both radiation and chemo, now years past. No current meds, but hormones and vitamins. We had a very unpleasant experience on some well-souced MDA awhile back that has led us to wonder if we need to be (much) more concerned about less common negative effects. A very unusual roll through and through. First, a massive delay in onset - on the order of 8 hours - and long after we'd given up expecting anything, off she goes. A nice roll by all accounts, and it was a pleasure to sit/guide for her. Then the comedown, and...tremors. Full body tremors, for an hour or longer. I just held her and kept her warm, and hydrated. No regrets, she says, but her last experience with Molly, we think. Scary stuff.
Now: she would like to try both psilocybin (shrooms or 4aco-DMT) and LSD (in turn) but of course we're now concerned about her possibly nonstandard neurochemistry due to chemo. Maybe I'm imagining things, but I was sure that Erowid's MDA effects page used to list tremors/seizures as an uncommon negative effect but it no longer does.
The question: what kind of risk would we be taking if we were to try a low dose first trip on one of these psychs? She's most keen to try shrooms, but should the lesson from the MDA experience be that she should stay away from anything with serotonin-linked effects?
Thank you so much for any advice on this.
