Psychedelic Medic

Just passed the 30 day mark. Happy to have hit this milestone. Have a lot of momentum, feeling good all around. Biggest challenge so far has been my appetite for food. Otherwise things are going well and I’m super happy to have decided to quit. Sleep has improved drastically. Sex is better. Happier in general, more sociable. My eyes are less sensitive to sunlight, probably because I’m sleeping much better. I’m easier going, less irritable. I have slightly less energy and an insatiable appetite. Otherwise, going great.

31 years old. Have been prescribed 40mg for the last 12 years. With the exception of a 6 month break while living in a national park, I have been reliant on it for my entire adult life. I really have forgotten what life is like without it. I do know that I smile and laugh more without it. I know I’m kinder and more patient without it. I know I have a sense that I can smell and see nature and people with a more intimate lens without it. I plan to have a family with my girlfriend in the next few years after we marry. I have been productive and unproductive on it and my life has been on an upward trajectory in the last 5 years. Im a first responder and work 24 hour shifts, which has made me feel reluctant to quit in the past, but it’s either quit or don’t, because my job, nor my schedule will be changing anytime soon. I want to ride this momentum I feel I have, and tackle the challenge I’ve put off for so long. A lot has been said about the negatives of the drug and I’m completely aware of them. Im ready to tackle the biggest challenge I’ve faced, and find myself in that challenge.
