So first, sorry for posting another thread but in the anxiety section i posted about my experience last year, and it brought up some bad feelings. I dont think the car accident is the only thing ive gotten ptsd from. July 31st 2011 i experimented with psychadelic mushrooms and it caused my first ever seizure. 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

I have not heard of someone getting PTSD from drugs but I would imagine that a bad experience with a drug would be remembered when experiencing PTSD. PTSD brings out all our fears and troubles from the past.

I had an implant of Lupron given to me to stop my period and that drug sent me into depression, a bad depression. It was a known side effect of the drug but at the time it was not in writing and my gyno didn't tell me about it either. Any drug can have a bad effect on us, so we have to be careful with whatever we take.

I think that your problem is just PTSD and the anxiety and not from that bad experience with that psychiadellic drug. That is just my opinion.

Thank you open. So when someone has PTSD it just makes things a little worse emotionally when you're in a bad place? I'm having trouble understanding this. I've been diagnosed with PTSD since I was 15, but I just thought it meant that you went through something bad and haven't been able to get over it yet. No one really explained anything about it to me.

I was a moron to do what I did when I'm not emotionally stable, even if I feel that I am, someone with split personalities, and someone who hallucinates without drugs, and someone who is already a nervous wreck to begin with should NOT take drugs. But I made a poor poor decision I regret every day, and live with it every day as if it happened just last week and not 11 months ago

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.

I thought you were working with a T on your PTSD, has he not explained it to you?
If not, you should make sure you have a T that knows about PTSD and has experience working with patients that have it.

He hasn't explained the PTSD as much, he's just agreed with the previous diagnosis of it. He will explain my DID till he's blue in the face but not the PTSD, he just occassionally brings it up when I mention certain symptoms I'm having. I've learned that with t's they don't always explain things, I guess they just expect you to know

It has been known for some "base heads" to develop anxiety and not leave their homes ever due to tripping (excessive tripping in some cases)... Acid and shrooms are very emotional based drugs when doing them (or at least that is how I experienced them when I was doing them) I don't do them any more, but I can remember bad trips and yeah they effected me afterwords- and strangely good trips as well effected me after words-- I am not advocating for people to go tripping- it is dangerous-- and shrooms more so I always thought with being lethal-- both with LSD and Shrooms one is poising their body when in taking either- aka posing body=trying to kill one self in a sense even not meaning to.... but with both good and bad they left marks....

With my PTSD and knowing in ways that I relived some of my pain from my past while on doing heavy drugs- I will always wonder if that Imprint was deeper implanted due to drugs do, do damage to your brains, as far as mental and physical damage.... Today sober I can barely sit in a room with my brother now; even at times I get shaky (last time I got shaky when he came over drunk and was a little scared but I managed on it).. and to be honest at this time I am trying to disconnect from him... When doing drugs I would sit and laugh and get high and whatever and be fine no matter what he had done or said a few hours before... strange

I googled PTSD and Tipping- and actually it seems like there are similar stories to your of tripping and one having a traumatic experience and it effecting them.

I agree with Open Eyes and AmandaLouise to talk to you doc/t about this.

And I agree when I went to the T and PDocs-- No One Explained what they meant by Severe PTSD or Bipolar2 for me ..... it was like just look it up and find out for myself as best as I could.
