ayahuasca as a cure for depression?
by kjmeow, Sep 01, 2008 08:28PM
Has anyone heard of ayahuasca? I did not know much about it until recently. I am currently in Ecuador. Ayahuasca is a medicine that has been used in the Amazon for centuries. Since being here I have heard many incredible stories of ayahuasca curing all kinds of problems including anxiety and depression (I have both).
I am very hopeful that it could possibly help me, but I am also terrified that it could make me worse.
Although Ayahuasca is natural, it has similiarities to LSD. This fact terrifies me because I have often wondered if the one time I tried LSD could have triggered my mental problems. How can ayahuasca cure depression and LSD possibly cause it?
At this point I do not know if I am going to try it. I am researching it as much as possible. I do know that if I try it I have to get the Cymbalta out of my system first....
Anyway, if anyone knows anything about this topic or could shed any light on my hopes and fears about ayahuasca I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS!!!!!

You have any clue, what kind of severe damage LSD could do to people with our kind of Depression and Anxiety? I do, try a few years in the mental ward for severe Psychosis.
Had myself a little experience with LSD back in High School. Let's put it this way, people like me have no business messing around with that stuff. I went legaly insane for two days. To this day I think it may be the reason why I suffer panic attacks and feelings of un-connectedness.
I wouldn't try it if I were you, but if you do then don't make any plans for the next few weeks.
No thanks, I will pass on that one.
