I am going to get my hands on some 'shrooms, and have myself some fun! Why not? I have tried just about everything else, and when I tried it last summer - I seemed to slow down a bit. Maybe since I am chronic, I may need to repeat the dosage, or as you stated - maybe I didn't eat either a high enough quality or quantity for it to do the job.
Regardless, I think I will try the 'shroom treatmant again. The only part that I find unsettling about hallucinogenics is the 'comedown backlash' I would often get. That is the reason I gave up my recreational use of LSD and 'shrooms and all hallucinogenics. It was no fun for me anymore, and I found myself frequently having "bad trips".
I must admit, my last recreational use of LSD was with friends shortly after moving back from Michigan in February of 1996. That was a bad trip as well (thanks to a friend who almost completely freaked out on me). That was to be my last trip. I swore off of it, and a relative has been begging for me to 'trip' with him. While I still continued to get CH's later on, I can't remember a time of 'using LSD' where I was in an episode, and if I was in cycle - I was always afraid I would start tripping, have a major CH - and begin digging into my skull to remove the worm burrowing into the side of my head.
I look at it this way: I have nothing to lose from trying. When I am able to do this, I will report my success/or failure with the hallucinogenic therapy.
Happy Trails,
