Drug Overload

[acesup1122]

Hi long time lurker to this forum, sad to say first post not a particuarly good one,
i'm normally a big time pot head, started experiment with MCAT before anyone really knew a great deal about it, started to get general anxiety from too much weed and MCAT and it was after a particuarly bad comedown i took some mushrooms for the first time (friends all said it would snap me out my worries) well this turned into a horrible horrible trip was with friends who pushed me to add ket to the mix as i wasnt enjoying the mushrooms at the start while they were all giggling getting some closed eye visuals. That night i thought i was going to die, the next few weeks i started suffering some HPPD like symptoms, lights would move and change and i couldnt look at anything bright, laptop screen hurt eyes etc, this got better abstaining from all drugs for a month or so, started smoking weed again and it helped me get through the bad bad depression that i believe the mushrooms/mcat/ket mix triggered, I know i have been stupid but i am young and have learnt the hard way sorry if this is a really long post, I guess i am askin if anyone has experienced anything similar? couldnt see anything posted about MCAT mixed with mushrooms, feel depressed all the time even weeks where i dont smoke, any ideas how to best sort myself out? i read about products that can 'cleanse' your brain like get all the bad stuff out but just really reluctant to put anything else bad in my body this whole experience has ruined drugs for me in a way and i'd like to feel ok again and be able to smoke without it bringing on worse effects like it has lately.

I have no similar experience, but overdoing it on the MCAT depletes your monoamines which can make you feel terribly hung over and depressed but is basically a chemical imbalance.
Mushrooms can snap you out of some worries by helping you work through them, not around them or solving them magically by the way... but that is a psychological story.
A chemical imbalance most often will affect your psychology and the other way around as well, but a psychedelic can not help you resolve a problem with a chemical root like that.

Sorry about not being able to offer help or anything, but it is not wondrous that this happened to you, considering.

Wow, first of all, get some new friends, or at the very least don't listen to their advice; was quite a silly move to eat mushrooms thinking it would "make everything alright."

Sorry I don't have anything else to say that might help you. It may take some time to get back to 'normal'. If you had a bad trip under those conditions, that's understandable that you're having a hard time soon after, and as Solipsis says, the mcat issues might be dragging you down as well.

Stay sober, don't worry about "cleansing" your system. Eat healthy and work through your emotions. You'll get better, but it may take a bit of time.

Good luck.

Mushrooms royally fucked me over, I was FINALLY at the peak of my depression (the point where i'm ok with me, i have no depression and i feel good) (i get depression that will randomly hit for months at a time then go away and it is just getting worse :/) And I took an 1/8th of mushrooms, wow, i thought i was going to die, My best friend couldn't even help me, I had the eyes in the back of my head, he gave me an inhaler to breath, and it was just horrible, ever since then, shits' just not been great, I feel like the mushrooms gave me bad 'Karma' so to speak, but in reality it's just my mind has been done for since that experience.
Mushrooms are the dark side of LSD honestly, but most people enjoy them, I cannot, i can take any amount of acid and 'enjoy' myself, but even a cap on mushrooms and i feel uncomfortable

^Mushrooms are seriously serious.

OP I'm sorry you have shitty friends, you will be okay man, as long as you really believe it.

I don't know what MCAT is and ive never done ketamine but I can kinda relate with you...

after a particularly bad LSD and mushroom combo I had some serious problems myself..
As for help, I'm not to sure about something being able to "cleanse" your brain, but I'm not saying its not possible, you obviously know more than me on that..
All I can suggest to you is meditation.. It's hard to make meditating a habit at first but I assure you, after at least three months of meditation you should feel much better..
I am sorry you have had a bad experience. As many people will agree mushrooms are pretty intense haha.. they can get out of hand easily for some people, I've only tried mushrooms twice(once with LSD like I said above) and the other time it was my first time doing any drug. Both trips ended up completely shitty.

All I'm saying is start meditating and get on a good sleep schedule if you don't have one already because I know depression affected my sleeping and eating habits like fuck..

Im sorry I can't be much help..

Mushrooms are much more serious than LSD, more intensely psychedelic in a grab-you-and-show-you sort of way. Personally I love them more than any psychedelic but they've also given me my most difficult experiences. Most mushroom trips for me have moments of terror, and also moments of sublime beauty and godliness.
