Tripping Acid

Fri, 08/22/2008 - 18:49
I wasn't diagnoised with epilepsy until I was 20 and I'm only 21 now. Before I had my first and only seizure I use to experiment with different halluncinogens like acid and shrooms. Since I have been diagnoised I have tried shrooms again and had no problem with them but I am unsure if I should drop acid anymore just because I've read that it can cause seizures. So would it be better to just stay away from it to be safe or has anyone had any experience with it that can give me some advice?

You have to ask yourself if it's worth the risk??.

If I were you, I wouldn't be asking myself if taking "acid" was ok. I may be asking myself if taking psychogenic drugs had tipped me over my seizure threshold, thereby causing me to have seizures in the first place. Come on, girl - wake up and smell the roses!
