Cluster Headaches and LSD
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I have suffered from episodic cluster headaches on and off since my early 20s. Naturally, because of the intense pain, I was interested in finding a way of disrupting or completely stopping the cycle. It came to my attention that psychedelics such as Psilocybin and LSD were beneficial to cluster headache sufferers. I should point out that I have used psychedelics over the years – initially recreationally – but more recently as tools for exploring consciousness.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Consequently, during a cycle that occurred in August 2012, I procured a microdot dose of LSD. Having heard that a sub-psychedelic dose can be sufficient to disrupt a cluster cycle, I opted to crush a small amount of the microdot and ingest it. I experienced a slight elevation in mood and brighter colours but this was short-lived. Later I had another headache and took the remaining microdot as I felt the original dose had not worked.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I am currently on SSRI medications for depression and anxiety so the effects of the trip were somewhat diminished. I did not experience any patterns or colours – just the appearance of carpets, wall and curtains ‘breathing’ and an urge to draw and be creative. I found it impossible to sleep during this period.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
After recovery and sleeping the entire next day, I was blessed with a week-long respite from my cluster headaches but sadly, they returned after this. The cycle only ended in mid-October.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
One thing I have learned from this is that it is possible to disrupt a cluster cycle through the use of a psychedelic but more research needs to be done in this field.&lt;!-- I believe that there are currently tests being done for a ‘hybrid’ of LSD which can abort a cluster cycle – but without the hallucinatory effects.--&gt;&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
