Tripping Acid
Fri, 08/22/2008 - 18:49Topic: Epilepsy.com Help
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?

Okay, so, let me share with you my experience as a person who has grand mal for 4 years now and enjoys drugs. It really totally depends on your body and epilepsy, type, frequency etc. but in general stimulants are dangerous drugs for epilepsy, because they fuck real hard with your brain waves. Hallucinogens however, don't do that unless you make them do it. For example, the effect of lsd is that it connects different centers in your brain, which in general is not a problem unless you put your brain in that direction of thought and cause it to "flip and overheat".For as long as you are calm and chill, feeling good, lsd will treat you well. Same goes for shrooms, dmt etc. Seizures can be caused by stress or confusion, so just relax. Stimulants however, as cocaine, mdma, amphetamines etc. they overheat and disbalance your brain waves and can easily cause seizures no matter how relaxed you are. My personal experience with weed is absolutely undisturbed, BUT weed has a very big diversity so ill just say this one is very situational (usually chill tho).If you feel safe and ready, I think you should just test everything you wanna test for yourself, what is bad or good for me might not be the same for you.
I don't know if I would try,

I don't know if I would try, because you head is already damaged, and this could make it worse? Just sit back, light up, and smile.
