> It sounds like you'd be a good candidate for MDMA therapy. The FDA is expected to approve it in the next year or two for PTSD. I hope it can also be prescribed for off-label purposes. Are you in Canada?
I am sorry for outpouring in my last post. It was a really bad day.
But, yes, I am in Canada. And a bit lucky, as recreational drugs seem much more accepted. We legalized cannabis a few years ago, and in many of these shops you can also order psilocybin 'shrooms'. And, there is one Canuck company advertising on Facebook(!) micro-doses of psilocybin in the form of gummie-worms. It is a bit expensive, 60 bucks for 10 or so gummies, but obviously you'd just break them up into smaller pieces. I wonder if using it Rx style, like say one little piece everyday few days, or even day, would work?
But, I think you are also right about MDMA therapy. I wonder how it works with smaller-than-average doses? I tried Extacy many years ago, and it feels like a recent experiment I tried. (Well, a few, actually.)
One involved high doses of benzos, pregablin, and a medium singular dose of lexapro/cipralex. After work, I would feel all of the horrible, agitated darkness badly. So, I would take about 7mg's of clonazepam, 1200mg's of pregablin, and 15mg's of cipralex. It was effective in relaxation, but a bit too 'hazy' with the benzo. So, I tried taking a high dose of nortriptyline in the morning (with it's norepinephrine agonism) and then 30mg (yes, THAT much..lol) of Lexapro at night, every 2nd or 3rd day.
And, I felt a MAJOR bliss AND relaxation at night.
It was NOTHING like I have ever felt with psychiatric drugs. What seems to happen is that the super high dose of cipralex every 2 days 'blasts' the serotonin through the synapse, much like MDMA.So, that is just my experiment, but I'd love to hear your's and others. Traditional psychiatry, to me, is very, very passe...stuck in the 90's, with such a very extreme amount of failure. So, time to take it into our hands! Our bodies...our rights!
What are you experiences/experiments like?Thanks,
Jay
