Can doing psychedelics too often make it uncomfortable to read?
    #26618159 - 04/21/20 04:03 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

So during this quarantine Ive been taking mushrooms and LSD quite often, im taking a break now. I was just curious if anyone else has felt this way, or if its from lack of sleep or something. I sleep pretty good TBH, but just curious.
I currently cant smoke weed or that's pretty much all I would be doing.

For those who may not understand, its not like the words are squiggly or anything like that. Its just uncomfortable to read randomly throughout the day. Sometimes I can read for a few hours, sometimes it almost makes me feel sick. Im embarrassed to admit this, but I am just curious.

I’ve never heard of that as a direct effect...  How often have you tripped (or taken Any psychedelic drug) in the past 30 days?

I'm pretty sure I got hppd because if I look at patterns they'll wave a little bit. Like grass or a gravel driveway. Hills, bushes and stuff like that moves a bit. I think it has decreased significantly from awhile back but up close it didn't really bother me at all to read or anything. Just patterns and stuff.:cheers:

That scares me, I dont want to deal with that. It makes me feel nauseous sometimes and I cant even read anymore. Im going to be honest, and im embarrassed how often ive been indulging. Ive taken LSD 3 times in the last 10 days. Ive taken mushrooms (smaller doses, maby 2g each time,) about 12 times in the last 50 or so days.

I know its quite a lot, and obviously it plays a huge role in this. I kind of answered my own question, but Im also curious if people have taken it more than myself and have had zero issues. Like I said, im
embarrassed.

That's too much and I got it from indulging too it happens. It goes away with time tho ime. It might take awhile but just take a break for a bit. :cheers:

Space out your drug use of psychs to every other month or every few months is better.  Every 3 or so days is way too much and side effects are bound to happen, it’s a powerful psychoactive chemical compound, not a consequence free good time on a strip or in a fungi.

Just be more careful  :raver2:  :nyan:
.

Actually upon reading Op again, I would recommend taking a couple months break from psychs.

That is if you value your ability to read comfortably more than the temporary effects of taking the drug.

I took psychedelics every weekend and more for a year. It was fun, but kinda messed with me a bit. I don't think I was reading much towards the end as I was such a scatter cat. I did come right though. We adapt and heal. Humans are very resilient creatures.

If you feel you've reached a threshold and are having negative effects just step back for a while. Give yourself some time to integrate.

Fuck reading, drugs are way more fun than books anyway.





lol jk, everyone already gave you the best answers, and you seem to be aware of your own need to dry out for a bit. If you do take a 2-3 month break, I would be interested to know if this symptom disappears.... or if you decide to eat a few more tabs and grams over the next couple months, I would also be interested in if it gets worse or not.

Plus, look on the bright side: They make audio books if this ends up being a permanent problem. :grin:

I probably should take a break, and honestly the only real reason I am is because it seems like its making me depressed or something. Like, I already have stuff going on but whenever I take psychedelics too often I start losing my drive to do anything. Not everyone is like that, I understand but Im starting to feel like it effects me poorly.

Its not like Im even doing anything fun, every one of those times Ive dosed I literally just watch TV or play Call of Duty.. ya I take LSD and play Warzone. Right now, I don't feel any inability to read its mainly during the day. It messed up my sleep cycle too, there was a week or so that I would fall asleep at 7-9 AM and wake up at 2 or so.

Ill probably end up taking LSD again within the next week, not going to lie. We will see how I feel.

You could try spicing up what you do with your mind when you trip. Rather than trivial amusement you could close your eyes and lay back and relax, see where it takes you.

There's stuff going on in there behind your eyelids when you're tripping, amazing stuff.

I feel like if Id meditate, I would have a better time. I close my eyes for a little bit but don't give it enough time. These tabs definitely have slightly different (better) visuals than other ones I have had. Like if Im in a black dark room, I can see some colors swirl (not like opaque colors,) and its pretty awesome.

I mainly take L because my brain seems to run on all cylinders. Taking L pretty much back to back to back, I honestly didn't notice a huge increase in tolerance, but it kind of lost the euphoria to it. Ive run into this in the past. You get too adjusted to the "high" and it loses the magic.( You would understand.) I didn't do L for about 6 months, and it still didn't have the "through a childs eyes" magic.

Yeah, you definitely get used to it. I've had lots of years where I've only tripped once, just to avoid the burnout. Last year and the year before were like that.
Once I took a 5 year break and the next time I took it was just like the first time again. If course that excitement lead to me taking increasingly large doses over the next few months and it getting totally out of hand... :lol: silly bunny.

I can't say I've experienced what you are talking about though, it's a funny thing. I hope you can shake it man.

I only believe it's effecting you poorly because you are clearly abusing the substances. You're using them as almost like a glass of water. A lot goes on in the mind when taking a psychoactive compound... and not spacing them out is going to show some negative side effects. This is almost with anything.

"Everything in moderation, even moderation".

Take a break. Start doing some at home workouts. Go for walks. Stick to a good diet. Drink your water. Sleep.

Let yourself "heal". THEN, dive back into it with a good solid dose... something that you don't see yourself needing to do 3x a week (or even would want to).

Mushrooms tend to treat me well for the most part (not during the trip a lot of the time), but the after. Because I know the things that I need to change about myself.. and I give myself time to incorporate it into my life before taking mushrooms again. It's almost like going back to them like "I did it, what's next??".

This has been the ideal way of me taking mushrooms... and I tend to know when I need to take them again. I understand the power of them nonetheless, which is also why I don't abuse them. If I had anything going on like you're experiencing, I would without a doubt.. relax on taking anything.

Seems you're already very aware of the issue, don't be stupid and hard headed and continue to go against your own advice (no offense) - we all do it. But don't fuck around with your mental well being man.. a lot of people aren't as lucky as us to have a 'normal' functioning brain... don't take it for granted.

:cheers:

Never had that experience, although sometimes if I've dosed a lot recently my HPPD is bad enough that the words kind of move around and the lines don't stay straight and there are colors between the lines that can be distracting. Or sometimes if I've dosed like the previous day I completely misread a word, like "wall" into "bicycle" or something.
