Well seeing as I've had delusions in the past before being diagnosed, I don't think it's the medications causing this. But for the record, I'm on lamictal, latuda, and seroquel.
Yeah. See, I was sort of surprised by your nonchalant attitude at possibly going nuts. The medication we have these days is actually very effective: it makes you very calm. But sometimes there are good reasons to be uncalm. Isn't there anything real, in your life today, that you think is worth preserving? Do you value the life you currently live?
It's reasonable to be concerned about taking mushrooms in your present condition. Maybe you do think it will help, and maybe there is some use of mushrooms,
under the right conditions, in alleviating the difficulties associated with certain mental disorders. But do you really think you're in the right conditions? Are you with people you trust, who understand what's going on, who can support you, and are you capable of being honest with them?
I can't really demand that you don't experiment with mushrooms. People with worse disorders have taken worse drugs to little negative effect, and in some cases a good one. But I can tell you that the way you're going about it is totally wrong. Psychedelics don't help you by activating your delusions, but by letting you see through them.
If you want to take mushrooms, do it the same way that anybody else would. Take small doses at first, talk to other people about their experiences, make sure somebody around you knows what you're up to, and don't trip around people you don't really trust, and don't ever let it be a matter of politeness. Be honest with yourself and don't fuck up your life.
