Question on mental and physical post psychadellics

[mangos2608]

Hello,
to whom is ever reading this

This is my first attempt to try and explain how i have been perceiving life recently, i want to start by saying i have had adhd all my life and i feel that i have always been kinda weird, but recently (past year)i have started doing psychadellics (shrooms, lsd, and dmt) my last trip was with lsd about 3 months ago and that did the trick,when im awake i sometimes lose sight of "who iam" i cant control my emotions, i dont even like talking to friends or family at this point of time because i feel like i need to be left alone, im currently a GTA in neuroscience and when im teaching class i get this feeling that i have already lived this life, my mind is convuluted with false reality along with twitching of left middle finger and index finger non stop, i try to sleep but i just get trapped in my dreams, in my dreams im like god i not only control but i remember everything, the lucid dreaming lasts about 4 hours and i wake up wondering if im still in the dream, its very weird. Also i get these visuals during the day, its like seeing million little nats flying around,

Im concerned, i prefer not to see any doctors because im stubborn, but does anyone else think i should? Or do you think this will eventually stop? Any insight would be great.

By the way my main concern is the twitching, has anyone else experienced something like this?!?

This actually sounds quite similar to my experience with abuse of psychedelics. I was using either 2C-E, LSD, or 4-AcO-DMT two or three times a week for about three months. After a while my mind just couldn't handle it and even smoking weed would send me into a really delusional state.

I never got the twitching, but I did have long lucid dreams every night that would begin immediately upon falling asleep, causing an out of body sensation. I also had many thoughts about having lived this life before and it made everything seem so pointless. The psychological effects lingered for about two or three months before I began to think normally again. The dreams never went away, they just became less constant and I actually really enjoy them.

My advice is to stop doing all drugs, including weed and drinking, until you begin to feel like yourself again. Keep your mind occupied and consider exercising regularly as well. Chances are you'll get better soon.

I havent done any drugs for about 3 months now, i really hope my mind gets back together, my gf tries to help me with my cognition, she is really the only person right now preventing me from getting lost within my mind.also i sometimes think someone is calling my name, it doesnt happen often, but today i was sitting in a quiet area and i heard my name being called from a women and then a man, no one was around me, i really hope i dont have some sort of chronic psychosis,

Thank you for your post, its good to hear that someone else has been through what ive been through, hopefully i get back on track with things, i think im going to see someone about the twitching.

All a doctor will do is give you other drugs. I'd recommend trying some meditation, healthy eating, and exercise & stretching/yoga . Keep staying away from psychedelics for a while. Psychs can really make you realize that reality is just what you make of it so do some inner-soul searching and you will get through this. Let your girlfriend know how much she means to you and if you feel up to it try talking with your parents and friends. If you feel like you need to talk to a professional by all means go for it, but just don't let them feed you chemicals.

Yeah, like boiledfruit said doctors will likely put you on other drugs that could make the situation worse. I was prescribed a few different things during that time, including seroquel which made me feel worse than normal or completely numb. I did get a Xanax prescription though that helped with sleep and anxiety as needed.

Definitely talk to a professional if you feel the need, but I wouldn't recommend anti-psychotics or anything unless the symptoms persist for much longer. I was fortunate enough to find a psychologist who had plenty of experience both with using psychedelics and working with people who had bad trips that caused lingering effects. Just talking about my thought process with them made more of a difference to me in getting through the whole thing than any drug did.

You really should be thanking your lucky stars, but you won't because you're a fool.
