When I woke up, we decided not to stay in town. I had no desire to try shrooms again and she wanted to enjoy the beaches in Puerto Escondido. I felt like I owed her that after all we'd been through. Plus, after seeing how expensive the shrooms were and what happened to me, she had no interest in trying them herself. ### Thoughts -In conclusion, I think I overreacted. But I'm certain the initial heart rate spike and insane muscle spasms were due to the shrooms. I believe anxiety and worrying took over, which exacerbated my rapid heart rate. I definitely wasn't aware that shrooms could cause muscle spasms that intense, but I'm glad I know now so I won't panic next time it happens. +It's hard to say conclusively what happened since I arrived to the hospital only after the symptoms had subsided. It could've been me overreacting, but I've heard some medical professionals say that shrooms may not be safe for everyone, especially not for people with heart conditions.

I definitely wasn't aware that shrooms could cause muscle spasms that intense, but I'm glad I know now. In hindsight, I probably should've paid for the guided trip they were offering since this was my first time trying shrooms. It would've eased my mind seeing how other people reacted taking the same thing I did and I would've benefited from others who were more experienced. Also it would've distributed tripsitting responsibility as opposed to putting it all on my poor wife who had no psychedelic experience. -The experience I had hasn't diminished my desire to use shrooms again in the future, but I will be more cautious next time. I may abstain until I get the opportunity to do them in a clinical or retreat environment with a medical doctor on-site. Like I said, psychedelics are not risk-free. If you take away nothing else from this entry, please remember to practice harm-reduction if you do choose to take them. +The experience I had hasn't diminished my desire to use shrooms again in the future, but I will be more cautious next time.

When I get the chance to have more trips in the future, I'll probably share those here as well. So stay tuned for more. |
