Question regarding shrooms to help with anxiety attacks.
    #22178860 - 09/02/15 04:14 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hello everyone, im new here as you can see. Im new to shrooms and im not even sure this is the correct area of the forum to post this; but i would appreciate any help. I have for years suffered from anxiety attacks, excessively nervous, in elevators, while driving, or in any situation that catches me off-guard. I was wondering if anyone has had any success with using shrooms as a form to lower their anxiety attacks. Im not looking for a complete cure; just if anyone has any experience with this.

Anything will help. Thank you

Are you talking about microdosing or are you asking if a trip can have lasting positive psychological effects? I can't speak for microdosing but I can definitely vouch for the latter. A good trip can change your life.

I haven't had any luck with using shrooms in regards to anxiety attacks. I don't think they have ever done my levels of stress and anxiety any harm though.

What helps me the most is meditation and avoiding mixing stimulants and alcohol.

Went to my doctor on Thursday and he advised me if I felt that if it was becoming a real issue, affecting work and daily life; which @ times it does. He let me know that I could take medication, but medication is what im trying to avoid.

Yes, they do. Why do you always insist on speaking about things you do not know?

Ummmmm I wouldn't go there OP.  Just doesn't seem like a good idea to get that out there if you aren't comfortable with yourself.

Disagree. I think the drugs themselves don't help anxiety, but if you make use of the trip, by facing your fears and coming into contact with a deeper part of yourself, then they can do wonders for anxiety.

I am all about psychedelic healing and I really should write up a little guide I can link people to on how to use psychedelics for healing.

People with anxiety and/or PTSD trip out all the time. These substance are being studied for their efficacy in those areas, probably as we speak. :rolleyes:

And everyone else who has these problems and trips out, and are fine, they don't count? You're wrong. Possibility does not equal probability.

A small dose of kratom can do wonders for anxiety in the short term and has many less effects than other medication that is frequently prescribed.

The naturopathic answer would probably be exercise and avoiding drugs / alcohol. Maybe some herb* or shit thrown in there for added measure.

*Edit: Not herb as in weed. St John's Wort of something

coming from someone who is prone to random anxiety attacks, be cautious... i've had several on mushrooms. if you're going to do them you might want to consider keeping some saftey nets on hand (alprazolam)

Someone with anxiety would be taking a hefty risk with psychedelic usage.  The chances are massively increased that the trip will be bad/negative and it could make things even worse.  General rule of thumb is those with mental issues should avoid them except in specific circumstances or settings.  If this was somehow setup with a doctor or therapist in conjunction with the dosing then it has a chance of helping, but in a normal setting with inexperienced friends it could make things far worse then they already are for OP and its bad advice to tell him to do it.

As one anxiety riddled person to another, here's my input:

Shrooms are pretty much the last thing you want to be messing with when you have anxiety. Could they cure it? Sure. Psychedelics are powerful brain reorganizers (best term I can think of atm). They have the ability to make you completely flip a switch and turn your mentality and personality on a dime. But the likeliness of it happening to the benefit you want to achieve in this instance is pretty small. Far more likely it will only exacerbate things.

That isn't even taking into account the "shrooms" aspect of psychedelics. It doesn't apply to everyone, but a lot of people agree shrooms are way more of a headfuck than other psychedelics. They can be pretty intense and hard to manage for those not willing to surrender themselves. Which if you have anxiety problems, you're most likely going to resist doing.

I have never met a single person that even approaches my level of anxiety issues. Shrooms for me, have never been pleasant. I learned things about myself and found many answers, but every single trip aside from one or two, came with a great degree of difficulty. Other psychedelics on the other hand, I have never had a single problem with. I actually gave up shrooms for two reasons. One, I found what I was looking for. The quote "when you get the message, hang up the phone" became brutally clear (I've even made a post here asking if others felt drawn to psychedelics as if there was some message you were being given but couldn't understand, long before I heard that phrase). But I still enjoyed that mindstate and would have probably kept doing them for that alone, if it weren't for the fact that I almost always ended up feeling like I was going crazy at the peak.

Do they have the power to solve it, sure. Is it likely? No. Would I recommend it? No.
