LSD + depression + time preception

Posted by linkadge on November 20, 2005, at 14:15:37

I was just thinking that if you take LSD, your preception of time can be markedly altered.

Whenever I feel depressed, it seems like time just lingers on forever. Each minuate seems to last for an eternity.

What part of the brain regulates time, and do some days go by so quickly yet others last forever.

I know nothing about LSD usage but I agree with your statement about how time seems to linger when depressed.


And I agree with old saying that it also flies when you're having fun.

Too bad it couldn't be vice versa.

 

LSD overloads the 5HT2a receptors, right?

may be antithetical to how 5ht-2a antagonists tend to be antidepressant, pro-catecholamine/prefrontal/decent-sleep-architechture and everything.

estrogen seems to make the 5ht2 receptors either more plentiful or more sensitive. may exacerbate some mood disturbances for women or people with displaced hormone levels, especially in those involving cortisol response.
