Struggling with Low Energy After Psychedelics

3 posts in this topic

I've noticed myself suffering from lower energy levels in the following few days after my psilocybin trips. (Context: 1g-2g trips every 6-8 weeks).

This is especially because I have become so hyper-sensitive to how my mind and body feel after what I'm sensing is a neurochemical depletion.

This has been really painful for me to accept because psychedelics offer me such profound access to God/Truth/Reality, but now leave me with so much less motivation/drive/energy. (Even with fairly moderate dosage/usage).

Are there psychedelics which have less of a mental cost/physical cost in the following few days after a trip?

E.g psychedelics with minimal recovery time?

Or is this something to accept long term about working with psychedelics?

And, out of pure curiosity, do there exist any particular psilocybin strains that are less taxing/easier to recover from?

Thank you

Frequency might be too high, for a single substance anyway. Over time it will inevitably lose the magic, you're better off alternating. Try a different tryptamine aside from the 4-subs (which mushrooms belong to); maybe DMT/DPT, some dissociatives, lysergamides, phenethylamines. Though all can be mind heavy in their own ways. 

5-Meo-DMT definitely has potential to help, it's true what they say about it changing all the other psychedelic experiences, the more I take the more it feels I'm being altered at a genetic level in a mysterious way, there's much more clarity in the trips, and it's easier to enter a desired state of consciousness.

I don't have any material to cite, but in my experience some supplements, in particular NAC and magnesium biglycinate (L-Threonate would be even better, but very expensive) aid quite a bit in easing the load and reset tolerance faster. 

Though there's always an inevitable mental cost to doing lots of psychedelics, it's only natural to lose human ambitions since most of them are now transparently petty. And there'll be feelings of isolation/alienation too. There exists a threshold where all of it is integrated and made peace with, but to cross it is no easy feat.

2C-B, AL-LAD, DMXE could be some of the chems on the lighter side while still providing a worthwhile spiritual experience. However if you go really deep there will be consequences, one trip left me bedridden unable to speak for a full day even though I handle awakenings far better than most. 

Lastly, you might just have a higher genetic sensitivity, nothing to be done about that. Carries its own benefits and downsides.

@ConsciousMan "the following few days " that's a very short time period and normal. As long as you recover your energy after the "hangover time" it's all good.
