Hi,
In the past i have used quite allot of psychedelics and dissociatives(N2O, weed, DXM, psilocybin, bufotenin etc.). During that time i developed some symtoms of HPPD(breathing walls, fibrating doors, leaking words while reading). My symptoms improved to some extend after i quit using weed/psychedelics/dissociatives.
I have been off psychedelics for more then a year now. I only use opiates, benzodiazepines and alcohol at the moment. I still notice mild visual disturbances but i am never really bothered by them.
So my idea was to self medicate with low doses of psilocybin in combination with alprazolam. In the past i noticed allot of improvement in sociability and OCD symptoms after using psilocybin. The idea is to down regulate my 5-ht 2A receptors just like SSRI's and anti-psychotics do in the long term(though i personally think that SSRi's and antipsychotics are more harmfull than psilocybin).
So my questions are:
Is it likely that very low doses of psilocybin will worsen pre existing visual disturbances?
And will co-administration of alprazolam perhaps decrease the risk of developing visual disturbances associated with psilocybin use?
