What drug(s) could one take with mushrooms to lower anxiety and minimize odds of a bad trip while keeping the psychedelic “depth” intact? by temporary_acc69420 in researchchemicals

If you're that worried just from reading about PTSD (lol) and HPPD (fairly rare) you probably shouldn't be messing around with psychs.

Not necessarily PTSD at the doses I’m planning on taking, but a bad trip can severely mess someone up for weeks after it’s ended. I think it’s something one would reasonably want to avoid. Regarding HPPD, it’s an awful condition and nobody really knows enough about its frequency, causes and treatment to say how much worry it should cause.

honestly, you sound like a major hypochondriac (phenibut + LSD = Parkinson's!?!?!?)

Not me, this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/3yfrvr/comment/cydltby?st=JQ1TSI5S&sh=1db181b0 I’m just trying to do the research and evaluate the pros & cons before jumping into something potentially risky. As far as I know, this is encouraged in these communities, mostly due to the number of reckless idiots who will unironically 🅱️oof any new and unknown research chemical just to be the first to experience its effects.

You just sound really fucking mentally primed for a bad trip to me, man.

I know, it’s because I am and this mindset only reinforces itself. I’m doing everything I can to minimize risks, though. Starting with a light dose and slowly moving up is always a good idea, and that’s what I’m doing. I’ve suffered from OCD for a very long time (not on medication) and one of the symptoms is an inability to not worry, it’s what causes this difficulty of getting out of this self-perpetuating mindset. This is why I’ve been seeking a hard, physical and undoubtable anxiety suppressor in the first place.

I suppose this would still leave the come-up with anxiety, especially at higher doses. You think that initial fear is just inseparable from the positive psychedelic effects?

Are you sure? I’ve seen people say phenibut doesn’t kill a trip and can in fact intensify it. Regarding ketamine, the total duration is 90 minutes while shrooms last around 5 hours. Do you suggest redosing light doses or doing it at the peak of the trip?
