am sitting here...

...with a cup of 'shroom tea and i'm petrified - i think. I want to know that i'm doing the right thing. It's been many years since i did anything like this and then it was recreational. i stopped because i'd grown out of it and it no longer had any relevance for me. have never had any intention of doing something like this again. BUT.... like so many of us i'm at the end of my tether. Coupled with that I lost a close relative at the w/end in a bad rta. i need to be strong/well for those around me. God, I don't really know what i'm asking you guys - other than to support me in taking that first sip. Shit - I sound like an alcoholic asking his group to cheer him on whilst having his first drink. Johnny, btw - if u don't have anything posotive to say - just don't

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

John, I to used to partake in the, umm, fun drugs. It's been more then 18 years sense then, I know how you feel. It's not worth it, hang in there, and get through this sad time with the help of freinds and family. You'll be glad and feel better about yourself later. Hang in there

| No you don't. I've never tried the tea alternative but I'd be willing to bet that most of those that have were thinking just like you. Like Jonny said, please don't over do it. If it doesn't help the first time it can be repeated later. We know you didn't get to this point without a lot of research and soul searching. Good luck. Hoping for the best for you.

sorry to all for not coming back sooner on this. Yes it worked, am now pf for 8 days - didn't want to say something sooner in case. Very strange experience - i swear i could feel it nibbling away at all my cluster centres. almost like a gradual dismantling. i have to add though that i didn't enjoy the experience much but am ever so pleased to be pf 4 now.

| Hi Zebb, Sorry I missed this thread when you began it. Thanks much to jonny, BobG, Don and the rest. Congrats on the early success. What you describe above is pretty common for a successful treatment. Difficult to explain because it's such a different feeling from what you get with conventional meds. Even the ones that provide relief. It's just "different" and more of a "dismantling" (as you described it) than a covering up. Could you tell us how much you used in the tea? The feelings you had about taking that first sip are very common. Hell, it took me a full year of research before I finally took my first dose. Bobw
