SHROOMS and Lithium???

[a dog named chico]

So i have the option to grab some fungus, the only problem is my wife takes 600mg of lithium a day for bi-polar..now before i get blown up about mental illness and shrooms.. let me say she can hold her own i am more concerned with physical health risks. from what i have read people seem to think Lithium increases the effect of shrooms and LSD and other things i have read say it doesn't. Does anyone here have direct expirance with shrooms and lithium?

haha, i dont think many people have thought of, let alone used that combo! Theres only one way to find out

It could be a risk though...Id suggest researching info of lithiums effects on brain chemistry and deduce something from that...Just a thought.

but as you pointed out, giving someone with a serious case of bipolar, that could be even riskier. Make sure youre in a very nice setting if you do. Maybe shell have a breakthru and it help it...

If I remember correctly, neurologists aren't really even sure how Li affects the brain to control Bipolar Disorder. They just know it works, but not how I believe. So theoretically this could go really bad, but it sounds like she's done it before? As far as I am aware the actual Li will not adversely affect the body in any serious way, but Im not a doctor so. My best advice would be to take things really slowly. Hope that helps a little

No she has never done them before (me either) we are getting an 1/8 so i was thinking 1 to 1.2 grams for her 1.5 for me. from what i could find the main risk is seiziure, so i may have her do .5 grams at first and .5 an hour later.

I was prescribed 800 milligrams of lithium a day for, bipolar, much like your wife. I recently got a medcard due to not wanting to take 12 pills daily however(best thing I ever did btw) anyways, I've done shrooms 3 times in my life, all of them while under lithium as a medication. Mind you I ate an 8TH each time, and not once, did I ever even get a body high let alone come near to tripping out.
Yeah alot of people will say the shrooms i must have had were probably bunks, well this isnt the case. The guy I got them from wasnt just selling shrooms either, we're talking anything. This guy at any one time would have an ounces of ounces of any drug you could possibly want. SO yes they were legitimate.
If you ask me its not a good idea, but do some more research on it. Everyone reacts differently to things when ingested or smoked, so its hard to say exactly how it would be.

So based on you expirances she may not get anything out of it? as i research this topic most warnings are about LSD and lithium, maaybe because Shrooms are not as "heavy" as LSD, i think she will be fine with a low dose but to be safe we will have a spotter preasent as this will be our first time

Its very possible she may not get anything out of it, or she may get alot out of it. If you want, go with the low dose like you were thinking and see what happens. I can't say for sure because, like I said physically, everyones body capabilities are different, but if shes confortable with it then why not.
Definitley make sure you have a spotter too like you said, and the one thing I've been told OVER AND OVER again about shrooms is to not do them if your not in a good mood. Being in a bad or irritable mood before shrooming can lead to having a really bad trip.
Also dont eat anything for about an hour or 2 before taking them if you want a better effect.

Hope the little info I gave helped.
