Hi guys,
I'm in the process of researching in order to produce a report backed up with facts, figures and science. I'm a post-grad physics student for reference, I have no formal training in medicine but I like to think I know a thing or two about how to go about this.
I strongly believe that it goes against the harm reduction principle of this forum to suggest the use of anti-psychotics to aid with a bad psychedelic trip. Of particular concern is an often permanent, albeit rare, side-effect of all anti-psychotics called tardive dyskinesia, ([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardive_dyskinesia).[/URL] While TD is usually seen in long-term / high-dose patients it has been known to present at the outset of treatment with normal doses. I also believe that this particular class of drugs should never be ingested by those who don't need them because of their potential for physically and emotionally difficult experiences.
I appreciate that many of you may disagree and that is helpful for me I have provided a small questionnaire below and would be interested to hear from anyone who has used anti-psychotics in any capacity. Feel free to add any comments or observations you like
Note: AP = anti-psychotic
Q1 - What anti-psychotic(s) have you used? Please include dosages and avoid brand names if possible.
Q2 - Have you ever used an AP to aid with a difficult drug experience?
Q3 - Have you experienced any side-effects from using an AP? Please give as much detail as you can.
I will add more should anyone have any suggestions
Thank you for your time.
