As for the quel, get off that shit brotha, its dangerous stuff, as any pharmies can be, expecially benzos.... sure it helps you for awhile, but learn to control the problem on your own without the help of drugs, or you'll be sorry when you quit the drugs.

ALso, alcohol is possibly the best way to kill anxiety, but like I said, getting hooked and trying to quit booze can be hard.

I think its safer to drink 2 beers everynight, than take that god aweful quel

Like others have said, Dudeman, be very, very careful.  IMHO you should not try it unless you've got someone who knows you well who's willing to sit with you.  Even then I would caution against it. 

It's my opinion that psychedelics (well, most any psychoactive drug for that matter) can be great entertainment and possibly even enlightening if and only if you have a strong sense of self and a fairly robust state of mental health going in.  Otherwise you are really playing with fire.

Yeah if your going to dose do it someone who you trust, and in a place where the environment can be controlled (people showing up, light level, music, temp, stuff like that), turn off your phone, and start with a low dose really not more than 1/2 of an eighth, but you have to know yourself and be able to be safe if you do dose, be careful and I hope the mushrooms help you.

so i am a very anxious person, i have a fear of confrontation, and am very reluctant to be social with people, although i do enjoy it actually getting myself to do it is a bit hard for me, i am very fearful of confrontation, i don't like it, it just is not my thing, and i am on 50 mg of seroquel every night for panic and to help my dillusional thoughts that come from anxiety, so anyways, i was wondering if tripping would help this or exasperate this? ive heard of people becoming much more comfortable with their anxietys due to tripping, but ive never really heard of someones anxietys getting worse from it
i can take alcohol ok, and obviously seroquel is fine for panic, but i cant smoke weed, after getting addicted i just cant smoke it it fucks with my head, but id like to experience psyches, although would really not like to have another unpleasant trip like i had some months back, which i probably took way to much, considering it was like my first time tripping pretty much and i took an 8th of gold caps, i dont remember if i posted about this before, but id like to know if others deal with anxiety on this board and still trip safely?




I agree with others that you're gonna want to figure out a way through this so you won't have to take medication to get through life.  I think you could handle mushrooms as long as you are in a controlled environment where you won't have to worry about anything.

But, for dealing with social anxiety, mushrooms are the wrong substance.  I think you should be doing MDMA as soon as you can get your hands on some that you know is good.  I challenge you to go out into a social environment while on MDMA and try to make yourself feel anxious...you can't do it!  If you are self reflective you can learn from this, and the lessons can last longer than the trip.





Let me disagree here. Not for the sake of it but because I began experiencing weird social anxiety syndromes since last time I did exstasy. It's almost been a year and I'm still in the process of overcoming this problem that surfaced after taking e. I stay, stick with plants.

Of course the syndrome I'm talking about didn't surface while I was tripping, it began the week after and still, almost one year later, I'm still struggling to over come this. Some things fuck with your brain chemistry...

After I do most psychedelics, instead of being the mostly quite person I am, only taking to people I work with or know extremely well; I will go into a bar and talk to everyone.

When I'm sober I only will talk to selected few that I actually want to talk with(get it)? The reason why you have social aniexty is most likely because you don't like most people. Period.

That isn't really a bad thing either, as most people have worthless things to say and are a complete waste of your time.

You hear what you want to hear, you see what you want to see and you talk to whom you wish to talk too.

Mushrooms are an extremely useful and powerful tool. I met someone at school who was much like you and he tripped with me once and didn't enjoy himself. I made sure he didn't lose it but he made sure it was clear he wasn't feeling like it was a good trip. He asked me to let him try it one more time at a music festival, and he's a notoriously socially anxious person and despite my apprehension I dosed him. It appeared as if the same thing was going to happen then I pulled him aside and broke everything down for him. I told him he was surrounded by love, you have to let go and be free, we're all friends and family here, release all your worries and just feel for once. Flow with everything. He ended up absorbing it and realizing what was really going on. He danced the night away with us :discorex: :dancingbear: :dj:.

He has never been the same since, and I mean that in a good way. He is meeting more and more people at school and I've never seen someone who seems so on top of the world and high on life. Just an awesome turn around. Just wanted to share this story with you.

Personally, I think mushrooms are perfect for this.

I love mushrooms because if you grow your own cubes you pretty much have nothing to realy worry about during your trip.  With shrooms you absolutely know that you cannot die unlike dosing other things that can be passed off as something else.  Theres never that apprehension "was that actualy acid I took or some dangerous RC?"
