I just got prescribed cobenfy. I probably won't try psychedelics to find out if I can trip. Im pretty sure I won't be able to. My doctor said weed might work better than the AP I was taking. Im curious if stimulants will work better in terms of euphoria since cobenfy doesnt work directly on the dopamine receptors.
This medication... is fascinating to me. I had no idea about this.
I have schizoaffective depression disorder, I disagree with your assessment that people with schizophrenia should not be getting high on stimulants and psychedelics. What are your sources to back this assumption?
My own experience, experience with friends of mine, common sense, as well as various reports/studies that are easily googleable.
Do you mind explaining how psychedelics affected you negatively? Was it long term or temporary? Did you benefit from the experience?
I’m trying to show that psychedelics are beneficial even to people with a history of psychosis. Psychedelic treatments are prohibited to people with schizophrenia and or history of psychosis. I disagree with this because there is no data or research on this. It is wrongfully assumed that psychedelics causes schizophrenia type symptoms.
I can only speak as someone who has experienced drug induced schizophrenia, and stimmy/psychy drugs made my experience worse. I've written a lot about it on this website a few years ago, it's a long story I don't feel like recounting right now.
it's definitely a fascinating pathway, and it does make sense to treat delusions in some way, but it's super interesting how there is both an agonist and antagonist... I imagine the antagonist is the main drug and the agonistic muscarinic drug might act in a superfluous manner such as bupe/naloxone preparations.
That makes sense.
No drug I've ever taken was anything like psychosis, there are only drugs that have interacted with or produced my psychosis and/or made it worse.
