Psilocybin + benzodiazepines
    #28324736 - 05/18/23 12:25 PM (8 months, 7 days ago)

Hello, I know this topic can be somewhat controversial from different perspectives (spiritual or related to inner work), but it's not really my intention to debate them at least in this post. I would like to know if anyone has experienced the synchronous consumption of benzodiazepines and mushrooms as a treatment for depression and anxiety, in order to largely avoid the complex experiences that can be generated in a depressed, anxious, or panic-prone mind with the use of medium to high doses of psilocybin (2.5 grams or more). I have been consuming mushrooms to manage tough periods of depression and have obtained very satisfactory results, but sometimes I don't feel ready or don't find the right time and place to consume higher doses that could better alleviate my symptoms.

The problem with benzos is that it greatly reduces the effects of psilocybin as it is a depressant.

What you can do is take a much lower dose of benzos than you normally take just to get a small amount of anti-anxiety and have a larger dose available on you at all time during the mushroom trip for emergency if you get extreme panic.

I never take benzos during a trip but I always carry one with me in case a bad trip comes. Sometime just the fact of having one nearby will bring peace of mind as you have an exit during a bad trip

In studies on depression they found the sweet spot to be a medium dose of psilocybin because high doses are hard to manage for most people and can bring a lot of fear.

I suggest you stay in the medium range (1.5g to 2.5g) and take it on a nice sunny day. I personally watch south park for 1 hour during the comeup as it is a good distraction from the uncomfortable comeup and then go on a nice walk outside once the peak sets in. Being outside on a sunny day on shrooms really is the greatest thing ever.

I usually take benzo late when I’m done tripping. I usually eat them between 2 and 4 am just so I can sleep. I have also Eaten mushrooms on 1 Valium then tripped and taken. Another or 2 when im done. I do think the combo is good for me. If didn’t I’d be wrecked for day probably just from lack of sleep.
