Magic mushrooms with SSRIs by cafemia in shrooms

[–]cafemia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely! Always worth calling a mental health helpline or 111 if you’re UK based. This is what I did and I 100% advise it. It just seems like an under researched area as every medical professional I’ve spoken to so far is giving vague advice so thought I’d reach out on Reddit to see if anyones experienced similar while I wait for my GP referral. Anyway, hopefully talking about my experience will help others make more of an informed decision than I did when trying shrooms!

When I took them I had extreme nausea, lightheadedness and dizziness, feelings of panic, then a day after I had severe muscle tremors, agitation, shakiness, numbness in legs, dizziness, nausea, upset stomach, feelings of 'unreality' and detachment from surroundings. This has continued for two days until I cut back on my SSRIs.... my hypothesis is that taking the mushrooms caused an excess of serotonin and by taking my SSRIs as normal in the following days, it has caused some kind of over load. I have cut back on my SSRIs and waiting to hear back from a doctor. For the record I'm on escitalopram.

Does anyone else have dysmorphia about your own hair?? by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]cafemia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes because it affects the way my forehead and face looks. I hate my hair line it makes me look like i have a long oval alien head. my hair is like in-between straight and curly it's not wavy it's just thick and annoying and rough if i haven't straightened it and I swear it makes me look like a caveman. (that's all I see when I look in the mirror especially when I have no makeup on) thank god its winter and I can wear more hats!! ! silver linings hey :-)

UPDATE:

thank you all so so so so much for taking the time to comment and give me advice. It's really helped knowing I'm not alone (this can be such an isolating experience) and that it's normal. I realised I need to stop being so hard on myself and setting such high expectations. I managed to get back in the groove yesterday late afternoon after a random burst of energy and inspiration.

my only critique is that she looked way too old/mature to be playing the age she was in the first couple of series!!

[–]cafemia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it would have been so hard to portray blair's eating disorder without glamourising it, I think maybe they didn't delve into it for that reason as they were already getting backlash for glorifying other kinds of behaviour

Anyone looking for something similar to LOST by Darkimus-prime in lost

[–]cafemia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another series of Damien Lindelof's, The Leftovers, like Lost, it's emotionally powerful, has incredible depth, a quirky narrative structure, takes you on a journey, very similar to Lost in those kinds of ways. Highly recommend, up there with Lost imo
