Taking psychedelic drugs with a fever or flu present

When the body is sick it needs rest. Fever is a body's response to fighting off something. I have tripped with a cold and fever but it really is not pleasant. Of course I did that when I was much younger and not as I aged. The result is either getting further run down or tripping and just not feeling well.

I suppose the purpose of tripping is either recreational as well as gaining insights, both of which make a person feel better. So not feeling good and tripping is the opposite of what someone strives for.
 
Psychedelics tend to amplify whatever you're feeling. So if you feel sick and have a fever, then tripping will make you feel even sicker and more feverish. Once I did a trip a couple of weeks after being run over by a car (luckily only my foot was broken), and the pain in my foot was ten times worse and the cast I had on it seemed like an iron weight dragging me down. It was not fun. I would wait until you feel better before taking anything.
 
^^ LSD. Back then when I tried it there wasn't RC's on blotter and most of us got real doses from our close Deadhead friends. I can only imagine someone with a fever taking DOB these days.
 
To be more specific, I dosed methoxetamine 50mg with a 100.8 degree fever. I have a tolerance to the drug, normally 50mg is just an anti depressive dose... I will take note of effects and take my temperature again before redosing. Its like an experiment! how fun.

The first trip report on methoxetamine, the user apparently had a cold and it relieved his symptoms, so I am intrigued. I will definitely post what happens if it interests the forum.
 
i DO NOT recommend it but i once ate 4gs while i had the seanonal cold and it was one of my most enjoyable mushrooms experiences i have had. i dosed them 5 days in on my sickness and the mushrooms seemed to bring me out of the sickness, i finally felt good for the first time in a week. i wouldnt have done it if i was any sicker, it was awesome though, im glad i did do it to this day.

the experience was nice the throbbing warm body high along with some emyl nitrate just made me forget about any body aches or anything, the visuals hit solidly aswel i was well entertained by myself just laughing for 6+ hours, haha. i actually hit a spot in this trip with my eyes shut just watching cev's laying down thinking to myself "i wouldnt mind staying in this mindstate forever".

i wasnt going to eat them but i read on this one forum a individual said it worked out for them and so i figured id give it a shot.

imo mushrooms can provide alot of cures for some things, there definitley needs to be more tests being done so we could know more about the healing properties with alot of psychedelics.

That makes more sense 'thizz as dissociatives are a bit different from psychedelics and can separate the mind from body sensations. That may be more pleasant but I don't know. When I was tripping and had a fever on LSD I wanted sleep and couldn't get it.

I have limited experience with dissociatives so others may be able to give better info. I've only had ketamine about 25 times about 20 years ago.
 
This year I did 300mics for a big NYE concert whilst very sick (flu) .
My symptoms disappeared and I was able to dance the whole show and have a smile on.
only problem was coming down, the sickness kicked in x10. I was all achey and feverish.
I felt like I could see how the flu was bringing me down within myself/brain, Like a deathly fractal in my minds third eye.. :/

the shittiness I felt for the next one and half weeks was bad, but you got to do what you got to do sometimes! totally worth it.
 
IME, it makes me feel better while I am tripping. I'll still feel a little haggard, but I'll be pretty excited too. The next day I feel worse than I had.

I try not to trip when I am sick really. I hate being sick.
 
My fever did not increase and it is barely noticeable after the 50mg MXE. So I have redosed another 50mg MXE and will report back.
 
i had food poisoning once and i took ayahuasca the next day, which really helped and it was almost unnoticable for a few days after that. It eventually came back for a few more days however
