My experiment with nerve pain
Hi there! I hope everyone is doing well in their journey! I have been working on fine tuning an approach to deal with daily, chronic pain. I have a spinal cord stimulator that helps take the edge off of the pain to some degree, but the human body is amazing, and the brain is not easy to fool. I work in the information security field, so I am making sure I can still focus on my work, while I attempt to notice my pain a little less through the use of the gummies, chocolate bars, and capsules. I am happy to say that I am having some success! It has been so refreshing to be able to think about my pain less and focus on life a bit more! I am so grateful for this program.

@Megan Forrest could you off label for ketamine? It works great for my pain and is a great choice in the hospital as an addict. Also, thanks for the work you do.

@Megan Forrest Im ketamine therapy helped me so much. A completely different ball of wax from this for sure. But that ketamine cream sounds interesting. I’m curious what kind of patient gets that. I think my doc only knows about the nasal spray and internet pills (mindbloom etc). I currently take suboxone (low dose) for my severe pain and it doesn’t always help enough or sometimes not at all. I think if you start training at the clinic for ketamine therapy it will be right up your alley. The science makes a lot of sense. You’re far more educated than I am in that area for sure. But imo the bedside manner is possibly the most important component of administering ketamine therapy. If your clinic does ketamine assisted processing that may be the most complex part. I wish you and your clinic the best of luck with the grant!

I’d like to be in but don’t know if my package will come on time.
Disgust for substance use/addictive meds?
Hey guys. Today, I woke up and realized that I felt a discusted feeling towards my anxiety medication, which I am addicted to. Tapering off this medication is one of my intentions that I have been thinking about. I was wondering if anybody has experienced this and if there might be any suggestions so that I can try to hold onto this feeling. I already emailed my doctor and asked her her to lower my dose. But I’m kind of afraid of the feeling going away.

@David Tinsley You’re absolutely correct David. Say a quick hello to our favorite daddy capitalism. It’s the shame of “not doing enough/not doing it right/you’re just lazy/pull yourself up by those bootstraps/there are starving ppl in xyz and you’ve got nothing to complain about/your trauma isn’t valid and even if it is I'm busy and emotionally unavailable.” Love ya daddy…right under your thumb where you want me.

Two weeks later and the feeling is still running strong. Dosage was lowered by 1 mg per day. In another week, I am lowering it one more milligram. I certainly do not feel any stigma around taking anxiety medication for the reasons that were discussed above. But, I am a drug addict and Xanax provides a lot of euphoria. And in my experience now that I’ve been taking a very long time and I’m quite addicted to it. I am also starting to have some adverse effects like agitation every blue moon, which is way too often already. It’s not regular agitation. It’s potentially dangerous. This feeling of disgust towards the particular drug is a good thing for me because that disgust is seeming to help me reach for something non-addictive first to help with my symptoms. The feeling of discussed is just one little piece of hopefully being rid of dependence on this medication. I have to think about what the medication is really doing for me outside of treating anxiety and calming my CNS. I have to think about what it means when I do finally stop the medication completely because I am an addict. What will I do? These are things that I need to think about and have been thinking about. It’s been very insightful to intentionally think about these things deeply during an actual trip. As long as the trips are spaced out something good comes out it of the experience. (Yes, all doctors, therapists, etc are in full support. I am so very grateful to have them all eagerly involved!) For whatever reason I can’t scroll up to try to edit. So I’m sorry in advance.

Hi everyone! I am just like you all ❤️ I do have bipolar issues but they aren't too drastic, I was off my meds for 5 years and did fine, but I'm back on them because as my doctor says, it's not IF the symptoms come back, but WHEN. I am also microdosing with ketamine in the evenings, I'm at 50mg nightly with that. Are we supposed to take the mushrooms in the AM? I see so many of you posting about taking with coffee? I took my 1/4 first gummy in the evening, 1/2 yesterday morning and will take 3/4 tomorrow. I haven't felt a thing yet but I think my days have been better? I am SO EXCITED!! I want to get off my anxiety, adhd and sleepy meds!

@Allison Wilcox wow we both seemingly got very lucky and are quite privileged to have the team of doctors we do. Doesn’t make a world of a difference to have our healthcare providers in the loop and actually caring very much about our well-being? Until I was able to be fully honest with all of my healthcare providers (therapists included), my healing journey was pretty well stuck in nowhere-land. I wanted to be able to tell the whole truth about all of my issues, but there was so much stigma and judgment about other things not related to medication that it just couldn’t happen. I moved out of a state where it’s politically not in favor of helping people that are down and out, I’m definitely not trying to get into politics, but they do play a factor or at least did for me. I lucked out when I got to Colorado. I was in the situation where I had to move out of the state I was living. Things were like night and day , when I started working with my current doctor in Colorado. From there, she got me set up with the only therapists that have ever worked in three decades and has referred me to both ketamine and psilocybin clinics. I don’t think that you would actually call the psilocybin places clinics at this point. I think that they’re technically considered retreats . Anyway, I sent you a little p.m. to introduce myself. Most important piece of advice I can give you is make sure all your doctors are in the loop but it sounds like you are on that already. Wishing you all the good things.
My experience after 3 weeks
I just got off a call with my boss where she told me that she had noticed a big difference in how I'm showing up to work lately. She knows that I am bipolar and wanted to tell me how happy she was that I seemed to be doing so well. I am sitting here just floored. I have been struggling with my mental health for over 15 years, and I have never once gotten a compliment from anyone on my mood. The fact that she noticed and shared that with me within 3 weeks of starting to microdose just blows my mind. To give you the full picture, I am autistic, ADHD, and bipolar. I am a technical leader at a technical consultancy, so my job requires a ton of critical thought, as well as deep thinking and coding periods. I've gotten to where I am because I am the stereotypical overachiever but for most of my life it has been a serious struggle to regulate myself enough to be considered normal. Like I said, I am not the type to get compliments on my behavior. I have been taking 1.5 gummies per day first thing in the morning while I prepare to start work on Monday through Thursday. Not only have people noticed that I'm doing better, but I also feel more creative than I have in a decade. I'm playing music more often and feeling compelled to write songs again. I had really high hopes for this treatment, and they have been far, far exceeded already. In 3 weeks. It's really hard for me to even believe.
