hello all!
i posted before but got anxious and deleted it, only to post again, just shorter and without my history of mental illness and stuff bc a n x i e t y :)
i used to take seroquel, i then tapered off of it slowly, started my plant medicine journey with Aya, then micro dosing shrooms, a macro, more micro, the microdosing helped immensely with my depression, however the past week my panic attacks are worse and i am feeling symptoms harsher than what i have been for the last little while.
i just want to know, will the shrooms keep doing their amazing anti depressant work if i take seroquel at night for a while to control some other stuff?
i know to some this is like !!!!!! do not take seroquel if ur not currently psychotic!!! but please remember, i'm the one who's been at all the psych meetings and am aware of risks w mushrooms and bipolar, and my current medication routine has helped me go from suicidal to the best i've ever felt.
soooo, pushing any judgement to the side please, will i still be able to get the benefits i have been having from microdosing .2g of shrooms, whilst taking 200-400mg seroquel at night?
re confirming that i understand there will be no psychedelic effects, and from my understanding, the shrooms work by helping to reactivate dormant serotonin if i am correct? (i am definitely no expert)
i know seroquel blocks dopamine, does that mean that it would block the production of the serotonin that the shrooms are reactivating? (once again, this is only to my understanding! i have no answers hardly know what to ask)
i know it would seem to take valium, however i have struggled with valium dependence in the past and am still struggling with it, so i am looking at this option right now.
also if you have advice on how to help control this panic i experience, i am definitely interested! i do meditate a little bit, not as much as i like, but i think at this current moment, i think i am needing some extra assistance.
please be kind, i get so so anxious posting on the internet, i know seroquel and bipolar is a lil controversial in the psychedelic world, but i just ask for kindness please < 3
i've been searching the internet for days trying to find an answer, any thread i find has been able to answer in regards to macro doses, but not the anti depressant micro dosage side.
thank you all so much for listening with open minds, sending love and kindness to everyone < 3
thank you! interesting article. it does comfort me to know that if i took psychedelics and ended up in a bad place, i would have seroquel to help me out of it. have a great day :)
thank you! do you know if the seroquel only blocks the effects of the microdose while the seroquel is in your system? as in, would there be any benefit to take seroquel one night, take nothing the next day, take a md the next day, nothing the next day, then seroquel the next night?
as i read what i just wrote, i'm aware it may not sound the greatest idea, i'm just looking at options right now :) have a great day!
thank you! an add on question you may have some insight on: as seroquel has a half life of 6 hours, if i took seroquel on the in between nights, say, i microdosed one day, dont the next, take seroquel that night or next, waited another day, then microdosed again, and did that pattern, would that give enough time for the serotonin to be reactivated by the md? (sorry if that makes no sense, just sort of off and on days)
i know it's hard to have any type of answer on this until the future when more extensive trials are being done, but i appreciate any insight you may have :)
it seems like i will have to take a little break from microdosing maybe, then taper off the seroquel again and go back to the plants perhaps
have a lovely day !
thank you so much for the support, i'm sending that same support to you <3 making it through hell is an accomplishment not enough people receive praise for. i'm believing in you :)

yeah i was thinking the same about dosing the seroquel like that, might just go back to seroquel for a bit to stabilise then come back to md when ready :) thank you
