My epilepsy and mushrooms

I have epilepsy..kinda
Its a strange situation.
Well I have had it since I was like 9. I have tonic-clonic and it happened regularly(3 times a year) till I did mushrooms...
Well see mushrooms were the first "drug" I ever consumed. About 40 mins into this trip, The first 40 being the happiest moment of my life to date, I felt a seizure coming on. I started to freak out thinking I was going to get my friends in trouble and get caught doing shrooms by my parents. I was on the verge of going into a complete seizure when I felt a surge of power go threw me. It said to me, not verbally, "you are free", and the seizure went away, which had never happened before. I didn't have any more seizures after that!!.. Until recently but It was when I got drunk and alcohol is very bad for my type of seizure.
I had a seizure free period for 3 years due to mushrooms apparently. I tripped acid and shrooms and smoked an ass of weed also.
I feel like the mushrooms gave me the power to control my epilepsy except for when I am drunk. So i can't drink anymore.
In most archaic cultures people with epilepsy are chosen as the Shamans. Could this relate to my type. My seizures are very trippy, empty void type. My consciousness goes into mystical states while I seize. Somewhat similar to a high dose mushroom trip. I can't remember much from my full seizures but I remember waking up from a complete ego-less void. One I have never experienced from psychedelics.
Should I be worried about SUDEP(Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy)?
Should I be worried about doing psychedelics? I feel like I have a unique connection to the experience and I really can't throw it away.

wow, this is really interesting. keep us posted on your experiences etc.
btw, drinking sucks anyway, stay away from that poison.
im not sure if its wise to do psychedelics anymore, you might have to consult a doctor.

Also could DMT be released when I seize? As in from my pineal gland

I think I might just do psychedelics until I have a seizure from them.

thats a huge call, i guess anything is possible, but i havent heard of any evidence to suggest this. Are you concious during seizures? do you get any psychedelic effects?

I do get slight psychedelic effects. But When I am Conscious during them it feels like I am tripping and insanely drunk at the same time so its hard to experience them. Ive heard DMT is released during extreme mental stress

Personnally, I wouldn't fuck with shrooms if I was epileptic. I don't think its worth the trouble. Did you read that recent thread about the dude who died from SUDEP while tripping?

Yea thats why i was worried about it. But was he epileptic? Ive heard that shrooms can cause epilepsy in those without it but the reverse in those with it. I have also heard that aya can cure epilepsy. Also these things I have "heard" could be dreamt up. That seems to happen to me every now and then.

yeah, apparently he'd had mild seizures in the past, but not for a while. i think mushrooms increase the likelihood of a seizure in some people if they are already prone to them. perhaps they increase the severity of the seizures too?

Sounds very possible. If I have a seizure from shrooms or any other psychedelic I will let the shroomery know.

Would much appreciate that.
I think you are already worried about SUDEP a bit.... or else why the post.
I think...... you should try to stick to rational low end dosing, unless you can trip with a sitter who can get you the correct assistance if needed.
And then, Find out if you are a shaman.( your other question )
If you can arrange a sitter..... take a balls off trip...... aim for ego-death. Either you will have a seizure and possibly die, or not. If not, I would consider myself 'safe'. IF so, I would only use psychedelics maybe once a year.

How are things going? I have Complex Partial Seizures, one a week average, and have been reading alot about mushrooms hitting a "reset" button mentally. I got bit by a mosquito, contracted Encephalitis, and began having seizures in sixth grade. They went away that summer without meds. They came back suddenly when I was 30 and working up in a tree, luckily my knot was tied and a buddy came over and took me down. I usually have a small "aura", then my seizure where I just stare into space for thirty seconds and am fine a few min's later. Been on countless meds and two FDA trials with no success, I think this is going to be MY trial in the next yr. I'll try and update.
