I has very extensive experience with psychedelics, LSD, mushrooms, 2C-X's, DXM, N20, DMT, 5-meo, Bufotonin, Ketamine, MDMA, amanitas, ect. all in extensive combinations, and the farthest I has ever been was with Lithium and LSD and Lithium and mushrooms. These three trips were by far the most powerful and life changing experiences of my life. i wonder what went on in my brain those nights, seeing as lithium and psychedelics are basically opposite in their effects. To my knowledge our understanding of the way lithium functions in the brain is little to none. Could anybody make an educated guess as to what was happening in my brain on a chemical level and how this may have translated into the extreme psychological experience? Or why this combination is so ego shattering? Let me know if this thread should be moved to advanced drug discussion.
My girlfriend at the time and two other friends arrived in the morning on Columbus Day. We planned to take the acid at my house since we had no school and my mom would be at work all day. This was my second time takings LSD. I had already taken my Lithium and two tabs before everyone arrived, each of my friends took one and my girlfriend was the sober ‘sitter’ since she was hesitant to try LSD. The drug took hold fast and colors became heavily distorted within twenty minutes of ingestion. I had no idea the drug was reacting with my medication, and at first my friends thought that I must be over exaggerating. We sat out in the grass for a few moments to relax. The sound of the wind in the trees became transformed into the roar of a great waterfall. “Do you guys hear that water?” I said. “No” they told me I must be imaging it. Soon I was struck by the idea that everyone else could hear everything I was thinking. This may be because I lacked the ability to separate my internal dialogue from what I meant to say out loud. The lines between internal and external started to vanish. At this point I became mute and did not say anything for about four hours.
I got up from the lawn and started to wander. I directed the group with strange hand movements and did not speak. This is very evident of a condition called a ‘dissociative fugue state’ which is documented to occur when Lithium is taken in conjunction with LSD. The Dissociative fugue is characterized by a complete abandonment of personal identity, memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality. The subject may have the impulse to wander and be completely unaware of what they’re doing. The condition is similar to amnesia but is spontaneous in nature and usually not permanent. I think this condition provided me with the most transpersonal experience of my life as the boundaries of my ego were completely destroyed and I was forced to merge with the outside world.
Soon I was completely lost in the woods and my friends realized I wasn’t kidding and really had no idea where I was going. My friends lead me back to the apartment, and as we walked back the intensity of my condition escalated. I was struck with an apocalyptic terror and thought that I smelled ammonia. Somehow I ended up in the car and my girlfriend drove us all to the park. I don’t remember the car ride at all. When we arrived at the park my hallucinations were so vivid that I couldn’t see the world around me at all. I was lost in fluxuating light and vortexes of energy. As my friends spoke their voices sounded chopped up as if they spoke through a fan. At this point my emotions began to swing back and forth between two extremes at a startling speed. I’m told that my facial expressions oscillated between terror and bliss in intervals of only a couple minutes.
I remember vividly one feeling that lasted only a moment although to me it seemed to extend forever on some other plane. I felt myself merge with the entire universe; energy seemed to pull me up towards the sky. I had the feeling of eternal bliss. This feeling was so self evident, so undeniable, so divine and infinite that I would never again be able to deny the boundless potential of the universe. I was thrown far beyond the boundaries of mortality. Thoughts like ‘will I ever come down’ or ‘am I dying’ seemed petty and meaningless in the light of this experience. This blissful moment was of course followed by waves of pure horror as I watched myself vanish into a churning oblivion. I felt so ashamed that I had doubted this infinite power for so long. It was a cleansing of sorts and forced me to verify a force inside myself that I now think of as my spirit.
My friends soon brought me back to the apartment because I was unable to be in public. The next episode of the trip was the strangest and most unexplainable. My girlfriend helped me into the shower to calm me down. I was shaking and could only say “Can we please calm down guys” over and over. I undressed and got into the shower. The patterns on the tiles of the bath flickered violently and I had the sensation of being electrocuted by some cosmic energy. My body started to twitch and I think that this may have been a mild seizure considering other reports of this drug combination usually describe seizures. What happened next I have yet to fully understand. As I got out of the shower my girlfriend helped me tie a towel around my waste. I became a whirling dervish, a member of the Turkish religious order. Visions from other cultures around the world and throughout history possessed me. I had a vision of a swastika and began to move my arms in a certain way that made it rotate. It was then that the name of Carl Jung entered my mind, the first solid word that came to me. The swastika became a three dimensional knot which would represent a Celtic like symbol. Frantically I tried to draw the pattern on a pamphlet with a sharpie. Later I discovered the swastika was an ancient Buddhist symbol of unity.
I did mushrooms with Lithium on two other occasions with similar results, once at a campfire in the woods and once at the museum of science in Boston ( that was very overwhelming) Sometimes I;m tempted to repeat the experiment but it seems like a very dangerous idea.
