Hello, I have started getting ketamine infusions(25mg) for my long term anxiety and depression problems and I was wondering if I can do a trip with magic mushrooms (2 - 2.5g), especially later on the day of ketamine infusion or the next day?


The reason why I am thinking about this is the idea of hoping to get a more lenient trip in terms of anxiety (my main problems are generalized anxiety and panic disorders). After the infusion I am in a better headspace, there is a notable mood lifting and antidepressive effect from infusion after the ketamine session.


I would like to get a therapeutic, healing trip with shrooms, but since my main problem is anxiety I am simply terrified of an idea to get overwhelmed by anxiety and panic attacks during the trip.

That's probably the main reason why I have been postponing the trip with shrooms for two years. I still feel I am not ready for the experience with shrooms but with the help of infusion, it will be probably the best set I can get for the time being.



What do you think?


Thanks!

This is a difficult question. You are never guaranteed to have only positive experiences with psychedelics, and not to have any anxious feelings.

The combination of ketamine and shrooms is physically safe. That much i can say.

My experience with anxiety is that the more you give in to it, the more powerfull it becomes. So in that sense, waiting and postponing, is making you weaker everyday. For that reason it would be a good thing to no longer wait and just do it. But it is easier to take that step, if you contemplate it and ask yourself whether this is something you realy want or not. If you have established for yourself that you realy want to do it, then there is no reasen to wait for another two years.

On the other hand it is completely OK to say to yourself that you don't want to take the risk. But i think that keeping yourself in a sort of limbo about this, for another two years will probably not do you much good.
