Do you think LSD fucks up the brain's chemistry?

you shouldnt be defensive (if you are), he is right. l-tyrosine is the dopamine equivelant of tryptophan pretty much, if youre looking for proof of this then youre definately on teh wrong track...
if youre just interested, then just search google and you should get plenty of info

 

Well, I asked my psychologist about L-tyrosine and Piracetam and she dismissed them as alternatives to Paxil and Adderall. She said something about the FDA and that America is the strictest when it comes to greenlighting medications.

 

l-tyrosine isn't nearly as effective as l-dopa w/rasagiline. that's for real damage.

l-tyrosine is just good for rebounds, with choline and pyroglutamate.

 

I dont think so. I took acid in high school(literally) a few tiimes. Durring one trip I realized my sub-par achedemic performance and decided to change. After that moment I got straight A's the rest of my high school career while taking all honors or AP and classes like Human A&P and Calculus. For me it helped. Actually with it not in supply anymore I think my college career has suffered.

Check out these images of spider webs, obviously the drug that did the most damage to the spider is caffine:

i think it does because you look at everything differently after tripping. doesn't have to be a bad thing. plus, you're a space cadate for the next week or so.

 

i agree with you. i did get smarter after tripping. i can write a hell of a lot better too!

 

I personally know someone who took WAYYY too much acid back in day like 10 years ago or so, and he really is just fucking fried. Everytime he even smokes a little bit, it appears as though he has flashbacks, talking about how is hat was melting over his eyes, he couldn't see so he panicked, weird ass shit like this all the time. So yea, acid can fuck your brain up

 

they are alternatives.. but where does the 'dismissing' part come in? would you rather change your brain chemistry to work in shit conditions, or improve the conditions so that your brain can work how its meant to?

 

She keeps saying that there are no alternatives to Paxil, Adderall, and Abilify.

 

of course she does, she's an HMO puppet.
I bet her PDR just sits on the shelf collecting dust, because she already has a general idea of which flavor Pez to dispense. (by the way, your doctor is mistaken...DMAE is meant as an alternative to adderal, not tyrosine or piracetam; tyrosine just facilitates dopamine/norep production, and piracetam stimulates better cerebral bloodflow)

lots of alternatives are dismissed by physicians for that reason, doesn't mean they don't work.

for instance, next time you get a bruise, get some DMSO, rub it on the bruise, and watch the bruise disappear along with the pain. then demonstrate it (on another bruise) to your doctor, and listen to her dismiss it as some voodoo quack medicine.

 

They also used X for marriage consuling in the US for a while. And X definately can be more detramental to your health than acid. But again it's use vs. abuse.

 

I think so. I have trouble focusing.

 

So many docors are idiots and so few of them have a clue about chemistry IMhO


I wouldnt say LSD made me smarter, it just help me put my life in perspective and made me realize what I needed to do. Did I mention I havent found any in years.....

 

i´ve never heard from it and i´m from holland. but even if it is true i doubt it if the authorities would like it if the whole country knew about it so... mabey true mabey not.
unless you have more proof

 

Many countries have done studies with LSD...the ones that come to my mind without thinking too hard are the US, Britain and Russia. I know that thousands of different articles have been written in all of the main languages that one might learn at university. Just because you hadn't heard about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Most people in our country don't know that the government used to do testing with LSD on it's military and various other subjects.

 

agreed. I've also read of these studies; Stanislov Graf is a doctor's name that comes to mind, used LSD for therapeutic purposes.

does LSD "mess up" the brain's chemistry? dubious..

it certainly reroutes signals, but is that bad? relative, perhaps

 

Of course. Most people go through serious depression and anxiety after the trip and its not just acid. Shrooms also give that effect to a lot of people. What you need to do is just keep your head up and not run away from the anxiety and paranoia because you can get through it if you dont give up.
