shrooms worked for me!

I am chronic and suffer from 8 ha a day. I also suffer from migraines.
I stopped taking my meds(geodon 80mg, lithium 900mg, effexor 225mg, topamax 50mg) on Wed. I continued to use imitrix ns. On Friday morning I consumed 4 grams of unknown species and reached level 3. On Sat. night I started taking my medicins again.
As soon as I eat the shrooms I noticed a difference in the way I felt. The shadows left immediatly. I have not had any ch or shadows since and that was 46 days ago.
I did get one migraine that lasted for 2 days.However, I usually get 4 migraines a month and this is the first one so I am doing really good in that area as well.
The way I feel I feel like I could go another month or 2 pf time will tell. It has been such a blessing.

Great news, Karla!
And thanks for the details on the meds...it's interesting aboout the Imitrex. How long was it between taking the Imitrex and taking the shrooms?
Pinky suspects that Imitrex and the other triptans may interfere with psilocybin, so its noteworthy tht didn't seem to happen in your case. Of course you took a pretty good size dose...hope things went smoothly.
And are you still taking the other medications? Are they to control your migraines?
Thanks for the info!

Karla,
Wow, that's absolutely fantastic news, particularly since you are chronic. Sending you a virtual hug  .
Your system was quite saturated with meds. I would think, as Tommy said, the size of your dose may have had something to do with your success.
Please keep us updated, and thank you!

I took imitrix two hours before I ate the shrooms. I am currently taking my medications. They are for depression and ch. However, on a good day with my meds I was still having 4+ ha a day so that is how I can tell the shrooms are still working. ;D

Karla,
That is great news. I didn't completely detox off of my meds either and I had great success as well. This is exactly why we need a real clinical trial done so that all this info can be known. Some real chemical experts and MD's on board would better enable us to understand drug interactions. Well once again congrats to you karla. Hugs  and Kisses  coming your way. PFDAN

Hooray! Forty six days? That's just great! How long has it been since you went 46 days in a row without a CH? That's just the most WONDERFUL news, Karla -- I know you have had a VERY tough time with your personal demon and I am tickled pink (or even pinker) that you are painfree.

Yes, it seems that migraineurs don't always get the same length of remission from a dose of mushrooms that we clusterheads do. This is probably because the mechanism that causes migraines is different from that which causes CH. Psilocybin DOES have an effect on migraineurs, though... I know of several clusterheads who have migraineur buddies who experimented with mushrooms after hearing about it. Some had great success, others not as great, but in every case I know of the migraineur in question ALWAYS got at least some relief.
Congratulations again on your remission. I know you had been thinking of trying this therapy for a LONG time. Glad to hear you finally took the plunge.
