 mood swings after tripping?

i read somewhere that since shrooms, lsd, mescaline flood your brain with serotonin analogues, your serotonin system stays out of balance for months after you trip, causing mood swings of a bipolar disorder variety.
ive tried to find this info again but i cant.
does anyone know if this is true?

sounds like dare propaganda to me. i remember they used to call that terrible tuesday. supposidly so many kids where doing x and depleting seritonin levels that come tuesday they would go into such a depression they would kill themselves. yeah right. why didn't i know any of these dead people? same deal with shrooms. the only thing they made me do was discover who i was. hope you're not an ass hole, then maybe finding yourself could cause a mood swing. unless by mood swing they mean if you're in a bad mood they put you in a good one...

It is normal for your emotions to be heightened after a psychedelic trip. As for if it causes someone to temporarily go bipolar, I wouldn't know. (probably because I am bipolar anyway  )

I am a recovering asshole. I use mushrooms as a cure for being an asshole. So far my therapy is working fairly well, I am not as big of an asshole as I used to be, and one day I hope to be totally not an asshole.
So far, no mood swings.

Hehe...good to hear, man. I use our little psilocybe friends for a similar purpose myself.

Why not try Midol for mood swings?
If you don't have the mental capacity to control your emotions then you shouldn't be taking ethnogens that enhance those emotions.

sounds like you did have a mood swing, in the right direction.

My seratonin levels get all jacked up after I trip, thats why I don't really do it anymore. However some 5-htp can help replenish.

I cant take E's anymore cos it fucks me up big time, ill be depresed badly for 3days afterwards and still be under the effects for a couple weeks.
Every time i have shrooms thou i get that same happy feelin while im tripin and afterwards im just more ready to continue on with life.
I find i have shrooms around every 2-3weeks. As soon as i start to feel down and have feelinfs of discontent then i know its time to have some more. Im sure i could go without them for good but fuck might as well enjoy my life while im here hey

The worst i get is i feel 'slow' after big trips. However a couple of friends can be irritable or get mood swings for a day or 2.
I think to suggest that mood swings is similar to bipolar disorder would be pretty misleading though.
