I will try to keep this as brief as possible for the amount of information I need to divulge in order to receive beneficial answers. I have depression, anxiety and daily panic attacks. I have done shrooms several times in the past and know first hand that they help tremendously with my mental health. It's probably been ten years since my last trip. Since then I have been on countless antidepressants/anxiety meds. The antidepressants were not effective and the last one I was on caused me to have panic attacks upon waking everyday without fail for 2 years and counting. The only anxiety meds that work for me are benzos which is something I'd like to avoid since I'm already on opiates pain meds due to my multiple sclerosis and don't want to increase my risk for addiction. Anyways, I'm done playing guinea pig with psych meds and I am planning my own prescription. A half an eighth of mushrooms once every six months. The only problem is, I haven't used them since my MS started and so I don't know if it will have a negative physical affect on me. I just spent the last six hours trying to find some kind of information or research on this and found very little but from what I gathered, it seems to have the possibility of actually helping? I don't speak all the "cyp2d hy enzyme" language crap though so I'm not sure I understood things accurately. Does anybody have MS and been ok doing shrooms or know someone who has?
The second part of this: I plan on taking my first dose this August. In six months I'll take my second and I'd like to go to visit my dad (who I haven't seen in eight years) and trip with him. It would be his first trip ever and he's really stoked about it. He doesn't scare easy so I'm not worried that he'll go into a bad trip. Plus I was dubbed the trip doctor years ago for bringing anyone out of a bad one without fail what I'm concerned about is, my dad has had two heart attacks. He doesn't have a heart condition. It was due to living extremely unhealthy and being overly stressed. That was years ago, he had surgery and has had no problems since and is in good health and has been since the surgery. I love my dad and would love to experience something so magical with him and to give him the gift of experiencing something so unique and beautiful. I also want to take caution for the both of us and could use some advice and some relatable stories.
Once again thank you bluelighters for any light you can shed on this matter.
