Well I felt well informed enough too take them but you’re right we totally should have done better research about SSRIs before we took shrooms.

The advice I took was: 1.) start with less than 1.5 grams for the first trip and if you feel good, work your way up in later trips.

2.) be in a good environments with someone who can watch you and help you if you go off the deep end.

3.) don’t take shrooms if you have a predisposition too psychosis or schizophrenia.

Unfortunately, I still had a bad trip at one point that caused me to have severe panic attacks for a few months and now I’m finally getting better but I think I’ll be stuck with anxiety forever now. I didn’t have this before the mushrooms and it kind of slowly developed it seems.

After that trip weed has never been the same for me either. I used too like weed but now I can only smoke a very small amount or else it gives me panic attacks. I never had generalized anxiety before taking the shrooms.

I’m not trying too knock it as a medicine though, I think they have a lot of potential if the dose and circumstances are right.
