vaping dmt with high blood pressure medication

[Panéolebleuissant]

Hello folks,

I wanted to know if there is a risk of vaping dmt during a treatment to regulate blood pressure. I've been taking a pill once every morning for several weeks and I'm supposed to take it for 3 months but I don't know if I'll continue taking it after that. That's why I wanted to know if I could take dmt soon or not ?

Thanks you for your time

Are you taking a blood thinner?
If so...it should protect you to a point .... by preventing blood clots....you might look at it that way......the blood thinner..... if elequis..... should help keep your blood moving easier through your arterys greatly reducing a chance of a stroke or blood clot....

Also..... the larger the dose of dmt you smoke..... the higher yout BP might rise?....So keep dosages lower! between 10 to 20 mgs....

Its up to you to decide if you are healthy enough for DMT....

Most psychedelics increase the blood pressure, and that usually scales with the dosage. In your case, I would strongly recommend discussing this matter with the physician that prescribed you those BP meds. If you don't want to discuss it with them, I'd stay away from psychedelics (and stimulants) in general until you're off the meds. Good luck!

Are you taking a blood thinner?

I take amlodipine 5mg everyday for the next 3 months

After some time of reflection, I'm going to try not to think about psychedelics for a while until I do some work to improve my health. It's a bit hard when you spend several hours a day on forums about entheogens and your virtual relationships are based on that even though I don't really trip that much.

As vovin would say, we have our lifetimes to experiment with things...

Hi, I wanted to respond as I also take amlodipine daily. 5 mg like you. While I’m not encouraging you to do anything you do not feel comfortable with I will say that I have been vaping dmt and have had no hypertensive scares. My situation could be different than yours. I have had slightly elevated BP my whole life. Around 130/85. I’m slightly overweight but am physically fit and active. Ive been dealing with some medical issues that are moot so I won’t get in to them but my BP was higher 3 dr visits in a row (150/90), so I’m on amlodipine now. My resting BP is now around 116/70.

I check my BP before I partake in psychedelics now. If it’s normal I go through with it. I have taken my BP while at the peak of 15 mg and it was only 140/70. I look at it like this: I regularly subject my cardiovascular system to way more stress for longer periods of time through workout so I’m not really worried about the stress from dmt in that aspect.

I have also spoken to some people on another forum that take a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker) prior to taking psychedelics as a safeguard due to being older and having high Bp. Anyway what I’m trying to get at is if your bp is under control while taking amlodipine and you are generally healthy then I would say you are probably fine. But only you can make that decision for yourself.

DO NOT take an MAOI while on amlodipine. This could cause dangerously low bp.

Also a little side note. I have noticed that amlodipine seems to suppress some of the physical fear responses I used to get while taking psychedelics. I need to do more investigation into this as I can’t seem to find any literature to back this up. But this article is an interesting read. Not dmt but still.

I take metoprolol. I’ve had no adverse BP/HR effects from DMT use. I do think agree 100% about the suppression of fear response. It’s quite enjoyable & I feel like it has allows me to have more spiritually meaningful experiences. I recently read an article discussing SSRIs & DMT that mentioned a correlation between lower heart rate (and heart rate variability) during the experience & higher subjective ratings of spiritual meaningfulness (I’m paraphrasing here b/c

Thank you for your answers. I was supposed to measure my blood pressure during my treatment before making an appointment with my physicist but as I was too focused on my studies and my career, I didn't have the time to do it. I have made an appointment for the next few days to ask if I should continue with the treatment. In recent months, I've had a minor operation for a cyst and the nurses reported that my blood pressure was quite normal, although I was a little nervous before the operation.

I'm hoping to get back on the psychedelics soon so I can work safely on myself. My last experience was in April with dr seuss lsd. Although I've never had a sub-breakthrough or breakthrough with DMT the few times I've taken it, I'd like to follow the changa in the bonga path having read the writings of olympus mon.
