phenytoin

[gill]

Phenytoin, for me, seems to have a positive effect for my perception, yet little side effects. It seems helpful for dissociation. Only took a few days to see good results. Figured I'd mention it for anyone who's okay with trying meds for this.....

Interesting read, two 40 year old case studies using phenytoin to reduce LSD induced "daily flashbacks"...

Could you describe in a little more detail what this drug does, the dosage, etc?

[gill]

I'm still experimenting around with the dose. Doesn't seem like less than 100mgs would do much. But, I'll update more when I've had more experience.....

thanks gill... very interesting, keep us updated.

Any news on this Gill?

I have a doctors appointment on the 12th and might recommend it

[gill]

Yeah, it does seem to cut through the dissociation the most right now, on 200mgs/day, you know the whole 2-d cartoonish vision. Things like afterimages, trails, and snow seem less effected so far. I don't notice too many side effects so far, except drowsiness, muscle aches. I think it's worth it to keep going with it for me.

I'll post again eventually......

Stuff seems to have some potential, but I'm taking a break because it's making me too drowsy....
