Has anyone tried ayahuasca?

[VivaldiBR]

unfortunately I can't take it because of antidepressant drugs. Only people who do not take antidepressants are allowed to use

 

[NeverEndingProblem]

No. I'd like to try it though. Common wisdom says that people like myself who have experienced 'shizophrenia psychosis' shouldnt mess with DMT, LSD, Weed etc. I've smoked a bit of weed - thats all.

 

[Freedent]

I haven't, i'm scared to mess up your brain. But if i'm going to CTB, i don't see a reason not to try it !

 

[LittleJem]

I have - just twice in the same week on a retreat. Ayahuasca took away my self hatred. Before Ayahuasca I woke up every day with It hate myself and I want to die'. Since ayahuasca, I only get the 'want to die' bit! Which is better, though obs not great.

I think a big shroom trip you can come off the SSRIs for a few days before. Ayahuasca you have to come off them for longer. It/She is very strong and She is particular on diet and medication .

 

[Georgii]

As impossible as it would be ,I'd definitely try if given the chance .
Seen a few videos about it and peoples experience and I like to believe the "hype" is real .

Seeing how broken most humans' minds are, there is no need to break it further.

A friend of mine did a few years ago. She explained it as getting away from your fears and former toxic life.

In her case, she's a very different person these days. She immigrated, got a job there,and 6 months ago she bought her first house. She will be 40 next month, and I've never seen her more happy.

If it's all the Ayahuasca I don't know, but for her it was the start of a new life

That's a fine story. I wanted so bad. But first I have to stop the antidepressants

She said it's recommended to not take medication indeed.
Im still in doubt to do it myself, I'm on 2 anti depressants and medication for my RLS, I think I'm not confident enough to quit just yet.

It is forbidden to take if you use certain medications, especially antidepressants. Just after 6 months without taking prescription drugs.

True indeed, I looked it up :)

 

[ecmnesia]

not me, but a friend of mine who was not on medication.

I think it happened 4 years ago, he was living in Acre (yes, I'm serious) cause of college and went with some friends to a ritual. I don't remember the details, but basically he hated it. According to him it felt like if a thousand bugs where crawling and penetrating his skin, eating him alive. Gross.

Heard some amazing description tho, so I guess that's probably because he was afraid of it or something.

I think is because he was afraid of the symptoms. you have to keep in mind that they are fleeting symptoms. And that it is more important to focus on the thoughts and images that appear in your mind.

Acre é longe pra caralho. xD

 

[dandan]

I've tried it twice , I'm fucking immune to that shit, dunno why, everyone else in the retreat was amazed. Not me, just a shallow trip. So then I tried "Sapo", dmt directly from certain frog, smoked 1 hit and Damm...... Hell broke loose.... I died in the retreat in front of everyobody I even piss d my pants and the shaman said I had issues,. "only people who want to die pee on themselves" , she said, the shaman.

I found dmt and smoke at home , took like 7 trips to find the amazing thing other people at retreat talked about....

I had a loveable trip and have not smoke d after it. Makes me think, should I smoke today? Tomorrow? I have a few hits stashed away.

Testo and dianabol was a solution, ayahuasca and dmt not a solution nor treatment, more like an experience.

 

[EssenceFocus]

I will probably try it, sometime. Maybe in a year. Because I will brew it by myself and nobody should see it. It would be hard to explain for my family, what this brown liquid is in the fridge.
Taking ayahuasca only with a shaman is a belief and you can take it by yourself, if you don't drink too much the first time and don't have to work or drive a car for a day or two.

 

[BipolarGuy]

Such synchronicity going in at the moment.

@mahakali88 and I started watching a documentary on this last night.
The documentary was about a depressed guy seeking help from an Indian witch doctor!


....please keep your head in reality and not resort to such nonsense.

There are scientific researchs about the benefits from using ayuhuasca.

"forbidden"? By who lmao the ayahuasca internet police? The hallucinogen doctors??

Bro no offense, plz excuse my tone, but they're f*cking drugs, it doesn't matter, especially with high end hallucinogens and trust me I have toured the world tripping balls and doing all sorts of drugs when I was younger and I have never had a bad trip in my life. (I DO NOT ADVOCATE DRUG USE lol)

 

[TooConscious]

I haven't, i'm scared to mess up your brain. But if i'm going to CTB, i don't see a reason not to try it !

I felt this way but when you feel you're one with everything yet so separate at the same time it has the power to completely change your mindset and it's fucking terrifying or you might be lucky and see beauty.

It's because it's dangerous to combine ayahuasca with certain medications.

Also, while you may never have had a bad trip, you don't know what other people will experience. I've tripped over twenty times - just two bad trips so far - but read the trip reports on Erowid and you will find bad trip reports too.
Ps there is also pharmahuasca. You can make it at home.

Yeah, true, I didn't mean to come across so aggressively I was probably drinking TT

 

[Lupgevif]

The only reason I haven't tried it yet is not having access to it. Before, I was scared I'd definitely have a bad trip, since my mind is so full of dark thoughts, but I don't care anymore, I just want to experience psychedelics now.

Sorry, I didn't see it as aggressive. Just giving my nerd reply!

Grow your own! You can also buy ingredients for aya, but shrooms are safer to use without a shaman than ayahuasca...

 

[Going Home]

No, I believe it would only leave long term damage to my brain. That would be torturing myself more than they are. I never asked anyone to treat me this way.

 

[Emily_Numb]

Haven't taken it but I have taken LSD, Ketamine and psilocybin whilst on Escitalopram with no issues. Much prefer psilocybin over LSD.

The only drug I know you can't take with these compounds are Diazapam and alike.

 

[ovaltinee99]

I'm not sure about ayahuasca but LSD and shrooms are perfectly safe to take when you're on SSRIs. You probably just have to increase your psychedelic dose to get visuals. I've done it many times before. Never had a bad trip. It's the MDMA you shouldn't take with SSRIs. You also shouldn't do psychedelics if there's a history of psychosis in the family.

The only drug I know you can't take with these compounds are Diazapam and alike.

What's wrong with taking Diazepam with psychedelics? People use benzos when a trip becomes too much. It's safe, but not useful if you want to continue tripping.

 

[OminousVaL]

I have vaporized DMT plenty of times and while psychedelic substances have shown me both the beauty of life and the pointlessness of existence I still am unable to experience love which is part of why I feel so empty and incomplete.

 

[grungeCat]

I have tried LSD once. It was one of the most horrible experiences in my life lol. I had a vision that I died via suicide and I was condemned by god to have an eternal punishment in hell. Then I was transferred to a cartoonish cave with lava lakes full of overly muscular humanoid demons. They started to threaten me that I will be beaten forever. I began to run away and they initiated a pursuit. I was passing by uncountable people tortured in a very disgusting way. I was never so scared in my life. Oh my god, I'll never take this shit again.

Sounds like nbome not LSD. What you described reminds me of the time I took nbome thinking it was acid. Test your stuff people.

It's possible I was scammed lol. Anyway I don't feel like trying other psychodelics, not after this experience :D When I think about this now it seems silly but back then I was scared for real.
