SWIM ,18 y/o, has used LSD 2 times in total so far, each with around ~220-300mcg of some of what he has reason to believe, is among the purest "high-end" LSD avaliable on the market. SWIM's first experiment with the substance was around the end of May, and the second one, about 30 days later.
SWIM's first experience, was happy,insightful, and quite enjoyiable , and the second one, while not being as pleasureable as the first one, was still not to be definied as "a bad trip" ,in his opinion , having been just somewhat more overwhelming , and with a distinct jaw pain that lasted about 36 hours, which he thought was from the dopamine agonism caused by LSD.
SWIM hasn't touched LSD since then, since he recently discovered that his uncle, was diagnosed with Catatonic schizophrenia, something that if he had known, would have made him stay away all sorts of psychedelics and other drugs.
As soon as SWIM discovered the fact, he became obviously quite scared, given what he had previously read about psychedelics triggering schizophrenia. So anyway, after some research,and as far as SWIM understood, it seems that those at greater risk, are people with direct blood relatives (which as far as SWIM undestood are just parents,siblings ang grandparents), having had schizophrenia, and being swim's uncle not in that circle, he believes to be at lesser risk.
And also, according to some governement drugs-prevention websites, the type of the relative's schizophrenia that would put swim at risk, would be "Paranoid schizophrenia", with Catatonic schizophrenia nowhere to be mentioned.
So anyway, given SWIM's panic, he immediately googled up the early signs of developing schizophrenia, that may usually be experienced ,and found this: http://www.schizophrenia.com/earlysigns.htm, of which, he seems to be having the following:
So anyway, I thank those of you who have taken time to read so far, and now comes the question swim would have to have answered.
Do you guys think that SWIM is indeed doomed, and should enjoy his last weeks as a "normal" person, and wait for voices telling him to do stuff to appear, non-existing entities to appear out of thin air, or thoughts about NWO dominating the world? [delirium]
And if not, do you think that there is a reasonable risk for SWIM to abstain from further LSD use?
In SWIM's opinion , LSD was indeed a remarkably interesting and fascinating experience, which he would definitely like to be able to try again, but if that would risk in him resulting to develop Schizophrenia (hoping that it's not already too late) , he would toss everything in the garbage, and never touch any substances again.
PS: As a foot note, SWIM has never done any other drugs, not even prescription ones, having always tried to avoid them to the maximum extent.
Thanks in advance to anyone who will take time to answer SWIM's concerns.

Now, the thing that gives SWIM a sparkle of hope , is that he's been having such "symptoms" years before even trying LSD or any other drug, and he believes that they might be as well be caused by MDD, which I seem to have all signs of, according the "DSM-IV definition" of such disorder. And also, being SWIM an INTx according the MBTI, such symptoms may as well be caused by his personality ,rather than any specific disease.

It's a damn shame that people think that the NWO is an example of a delusion caused by insanity
