im schizotypal and considerin doin LSD (of course it includes skipping my medication,zyprexa for few days),what are ur opinions?
 
keep away man, best for you. Let your curiosity drain itself, it'd be better if you stayed away. LSD tends to bring out or rather surface certain disorders. If you're on medication, id advise you not to trip.
 
Not a good idea, could prove very dangerous (on the mind that is)
 
tnx for the advices guys anyways im student so if im gonna ever take it it will be after i graduate .what about the above question?

do not skip your medication. abrupt cessation of benzodiazepines can be dangerous so you shouldn't risk it with a thienobenzodiazepine either.

maybe you could ask your psychiatrist about chemically assisted therapy or something. that might open up a conversation about how to safely take a break from your medication. skipping doses is not the way tho.
 
lsd therapy is not available anymore(i think it was done back in the 60).Anyways when i smoke weed i get so paranoid and it scares the fuck out of me so maybe acid will be too much although iv read that weed cause paranoia,anyways im not intending on taking this drug its just that im obssesed wit it cause ive compulsive thought pattern.
 
^ Weed does cause paranoia, and so does LSD, quite commonly in fact. If weed scares you, acid will probably not be any funner it's a far more out there experience than just getting stoned.
Still yeah, stay away is probably the best idea.
 
If you are prone to being psychotic and skip your anti-psychotic meds, you will be even more prone to being psychotic during those few days. There could be some rebound dopamine receptor sensitization when you cease anti-psychotics, I'm not sure if I'm naming it properly but I'll explain briefly what I'm after. When you take certain antipsych meds, they kind of numb a lot of receptors (esp. dopamine) in your brain. When you suddenly stop taking your meds abruptly, they won't be blocking your dopamine receptors and numbing them anymore. You have just opened the gates for receptors that haven't had really had any proper action for a long time, they can be extra sensitive to other stuff than the anti-psych meds that were blocking them. Now imagine being schizotypical, having this happen and then taking LSD. It could be a real recipe for disaster.

I have little personal experience with zyprexa, but for example seroquel (quetiapine) at anti-psychotic doses caused me to go really hyper and euphoric if I skipped my daily dose, my brain was going way faster than normal. Tapering your dosage down before stopping could prevent this, but you were talking about simply skipping your meds for a few days. As you can probably see, this is a bad idea even without the LSD hehe. I don't recommend LSD to you, but if you insist on taking the risk, you should atleast do it at a time when you don't need any meds at all. Don't be impatient, you've got years of life ahead and perhaps one day you find yourself in a situation where taking LSD feels safe. Why risk it all at young age? I mean you could find yourself incapable of getting a job if you fry your psyche right after graduating... Maybe it's nothing permanent, maybe you'll just end up wasting a few years at your best age as a psych patient zombie thingy on neuroleptics, or maybe you'll be just fine after you take LSD. We don't know for sure anything but that you're part of a risk group and the risks are very real to you.

It can be beautiful with/after acid too, but its a teacher. You're just not ready for the lesson yet, when its your time it'll find its way to you again. :)
 
thank u guys i appreciate ur comments.i know lsd is a lesson about life but i aint ready yet maybe i ll do it in my old 30's if i wont be married by then.anyways u havent answered my second question:have u ever seen yourself as albert hoffman when trippin? cause it might happen to me if i ever trip =D
 
^ no but i think about him alot and i feel quite close to him, but that could be as much to do with dropping acid as it could be from reading his writing and seeing countless photographs of him. i think about him quite regularly as of late

sometimes, oftentimes, i imagine what people i respect, would say in situations i find myself in or on important debatable topics - kind of like the whole 'what would jesus do' but without the jesus bit
