Adaptogens and Psychedelics

[acrosstheveil]

I take a lot of herbal adaptogens like Rhodiola, ginseng, mucuna pruriens, muira pauma, and ashwagandha. I have a lot of health issues so I have a lot of brain fog without using some sort of adaptogen stimulant.

Has anyone had any experience combining stimulants/adaptogens/caffeine with dmt or mushrooms?

I'm just wondering if it will prevent me from going as deep or if it will enhance the experience.

In swims experience with strong stimulates and mushrooms... They shrooms overpowered the stimulants and they went as deep into the trip as expected.
Please note SWIM does not suggest going out and doing strong stimulants and any psychedellic this could be bad..
With mild stimulants caffeine ect. You should have no issues.

yes, I have parkinson's like symptoms which can be very frustrating during a trip. It feels like my body is being attacked and I am unable to move properly.

Rhodiola has been a huge help recently and I think I'm going to try a combo next time.

I take herbs like this also. Reishi, mucuna, holy basil, astragalus, and he shou wu are ones i've been using recently. As well as eat blue-green algae and spirulina products. I include one or two things like this daily and I can only imagine these are some of the greatest things to consume as a tripper(or anyone) because these things feed you in a way that the average meal doesn't approach. I've heard that mucuna is a great one for issues dealing with long-term stimulant use and abuse.

Perhaps music during the experience can modulate these symptoms?

stimulants and psychs together create an awesome experience. caffeine and mescaline is undescribably amazing. and caffeine and mushrooms makes your brain feel like its on superpowers especially on the comedown when the deep thinking really becomes prominent in a shroom trip. enjoy!

I've had an uneasy rue+mimosa experience when rhodiola rosea was taken earlier. Excessive body heat and panic on the onset, had to forcefully puke it out(unlike a usual bad trip). But I can't have caffeine and smoalk either. So I guess it depends on your personal body chemistry. Maybe go very low at first.

music does help but it is impossible to ignore. I have neurological lyme so I have all sorts of neurological issues which affect my trips.
