Bell's palsy from lsd use?

[mthightoker]

So I went to a fest last weekend and ingested a drop of lsd three days in a row. By the second day I noticed my jaw was really sore and it actually cramped up when I was eating a banana. When I got home I noticed it was very difficult to move anything on the left side of my face. My left eye is constantly watering because it's pretty much open all day.

Did the lsd have anything to do with the bell's palsy or was it all a coincidence?

I've had sore jaw from LSD, psychedelics can actually give me some bad muscle tension, but the rest is definitely odd.
I wouldn't think LSD could cause that, hopefully your case is like other Bell's palsy cases and resolves itself fairly quickly

It is probably unrelated, it is possible you got a nerve infection or something like that that caused the palsy. A friend of mine had it and it took a few months to return to normal.

Thanks for the quick reply guys... I'm not too worried about it as I can somewhat move my left side of my face, it's just really difficult to do so.

was it pretty hot at the festival? did you make sure to stay well hydrated?

Yah it was in the 90's during the day but I had a camelback so I drank at least 4 liters of water while walking around and some back at the campsite as well. I was sweating pretty bad at some points though and I probably was somewhat dehydrated.
