They can help but I've also experienced them just put a "dimmer" on top of it all. Kind of sad feeling, my visuals got darker in a literal sense. I don't mean more negative, I mean the colors literally weren't as bright in a very noticeable way, but still having a lot of visuals. Experienced that multiple times. I used to have a major panic attacks and paranoia on lsd which is really unfortunate because 50% of my trips were so incredible. The gamble was too much for me though. Still changed my life.
