CFS and LSD a Really Horrible Mix
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
2011 was a very tumultuous year for me.  My father passed away unexpectedly and I suffered from horrible typhoid and malaria thereafter. I recovered but not completely, it&#x27;s like my immune system was stuck in attack mode even after I recovered. What followed was endless doctor visits and tests which were always normal. So western medicine did what it does.  Told me it was depression/CFS. There was a component of that but I knew there was more to it. Its like my cells had run out of something very critical. I was a profuse sweater and now I couldn’t sweat even in high heat. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I took antidepressants. 12 of them... none worked. Then naturopathy, Then vitamins. They helped a bit. But by 2014 I had knocked on almost every door and knew it was time for somewhat drastic. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
In all this time I was researching on pubmed and theorized that a shock to the nervous system was what was needed. Plus I had read that LSD helped people recover from depression too. So I thought it to be a good chemical target. I obtained some 400 mcg tabs. And being a cautious person that I was decided to try only 50 mcg. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
It was evening. First effects were a feeling of individual cells in my body waking up. Now those who haven’t suffered from CFS [Chronic Fatigue Syndrome] probably can’t relate to this but it was as clear as daylight for me. No visuals or hallucinations… but just clarity.  
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
However in a short amount of time my cells ran out of whatever they were lacking and all I could feel was a metabolic accelerator being pressed by the LSD while I had no gas in the system. My heart rate started to go up and then I first felt guilt. Intense awful guilt. Then came the fear, then the panic attack. I have has panic attacks before but this fear was something else. It was raw fear. Then came the ambulance and then there was ER. After a whole night on ativan and under observation, I was released in morning. CFS still intact and a bit worse which got to baseline in the next few days by some methylfolate and b12 and vit D. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
My set and setting was understandably not ideal. But it wasn’t awful either. I can classify this as a typical bad trip. But beneath the surface. I can say for sure that it definitely doesn’t play with the underlying mechanism for CFS in a positive way. Even if my emotions were positive, my nervous system would not have been able to produce the necessary juice to let LSD do what I needed to do. And hence the problem.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;!--So if anyone with CFS is reading this, I admire you for thinking out of the box. Look into ayahuasca/yoga/low dose psilocybin but stay away from LSD. --&gt;It&#x27;s not going to fix it.&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
