Smoking DMT completely ridded foaf of any addictive tendencies and cured his depression. He feels much more level now so definitely continue with that onto breakthrough doses. He used to be a binge drinker (as a social prop and to alleviate boredom) but doesn't have any urge whatsoever to drink now... the most he ever has is three or four beers on the biggest of nights out (he takes 5g Peruvian Torch at the same time so he doesn't get bored when surrounded by wasted people). He doesn't have any compulsion to get wasted at all, which he thinks is more to do with DMT giving him the foundations for straightening out like he wanted to, rather than it being any sort of 'vaccine', but who knows.
Yes kratom is probably the best substitute he's come across for when someone still want to have that clubbing feeling (although addictive so be mindful). Someone told foaf that amanita was sociable in light doses but he hasn't tried yet.
For foaf, one particular ayawaska analog session did more harm than good and depressed him for a week. From this very limited experience, foaf decided that this route wasn't for the self-aware or insecure, or the near-suicidal, because it can be a real mental battering... foaf decided that aya was good for people who didn't yet realise their faults yet and needed a wake-up call, but not those who already knew and were depressed by them. While it might work wonders for her, foaf is scared of it now and sticks to the comforting shortness and lack of analysis of DMT. He also finds it energising, inspiring and motivating for days afterwards. He found that cactus was a much gentler and comforting route for self-analysis.
David D. Burn's book 'Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy' uses cognitive behaviour therapy techniques and is really beneficial for depression or negativity. Maybe she should she a psychologist for the dramatic moodswings (a general and scientifically minded one, not a Freudian/Jungian one etc as that stuff seems a bit dodgy)? The two MDMA victims I've known were on prozac and beta-blockers for years afterwards... the guy is now off prozac and fine, but I've lost touch with the girl who was on beta-blockers. I know a lot of people here are against them but if it gets really bad don't rule it out... it can't be worse than ten pills a day, and I'm guessing withdrawing from that kind of continual dosage is going to be incredibly depressing.
I hope it works out for her
