I have a therapist who can do LSD assisted therapy as part of a research study, and i'd like to be able to try that. O wouldn't do stuff like thus frequently, but once in a while i like it because i feel it gives me insights that i can't normally get. It takes 5 half lives to wash out of the system, and the half life is 24 hours, so i want to see if i can tolerate 5 or 6 days off, because if so i could plan for it. I definitely can't tell my pdoc that. I've told her i want off antipsychotics and she says it's a bad idea. I'd love to be off permanently, because i don't get psychotic, but i can accept if i need it because i do get depressions and i've also had mixed states. I'm not averse to risk in life though, and i don't like feeling like my emotional range is constrained.
Unfortunately i've barely slept since stopping it, and it's 2 am and i'm not at all tired. So if i don't start sleeping this experiment could end badly. The end of tomorrow will be day 5, so i might restart tomorrow, or i might give it a few more days. I haven't quite decided yet.
I appreciate your input though, and i know you are probably right. I just kind of don't care about what might happen right now.
