Ive had another since, just one thankfully and t and pdoc thinks it was a psuedoseizure. Well the problem, im still terrified. I used to be so adventerous loved being outside more than anything and was a good mom. Playing games, dancing, having fun, enjoying life. Then that happens and the emotion i feel the most is fear. Although i swore off drugs, even stopped smoking marijuanna, the fear wont leave. Its bad enough i already had gen. Anx. Disordet, butDID as well and possibly schizophrenia, i was stupid to do it. I had finally gotten into a good place in life and felt i was ready. Stupid stupid stupid but that doesnt change the past.
I will ask t what he thinks but i honestly believe the psychadelic night caused worse ptsd than the accident. I still cant shake that feeling from the seizure. I still cant get over the fear. I keep getting small reminders physically that wont let the fear subside. Every time my ears ring i panic, when i get dizzy i panic, so much fear.
Is it possible to get ptsd from psychadelics, has anyone gone through this and if so how do you get over it? I want my old life back

there is no limits on what can cause a person to have PTSD symptoms. each person is different with their own abilities of what they can and cant handle. I agree talk with your treatment provider. they are the only ones that can tell you for sure if you have lingering mental or physical problems caused by your past drug use.
I have never done psychadelic mushrooms but have had a similar experience with marijuana, i was not the one partaking but was in the room and got the second hand smoke affects. now I make sure that I am not in the same room if others light up.
like I said anything can cause a person to have PTSD symptoms but only your treatment providers can tell you if what you are experiencing is PTSD from it so I was happy to read you are going to be discussing this with them. great job on taking care of yourself.
