Ok y'all. I'm not specifically advocating for this. I'm more just curious of experiences. Has anyone done an ayahuasca ceremony in Peru? Ive heard from friends that they know a couple people that have done it and come back changed (in very positive ways). Anyways, just wondering 😅.

No but I’d want to understand how my current medication could interact with any substances taken.
I don’t take my stimulant meds when I’m not working but I do have other prescriptions (anxiety, etc.) that could be interfered with.

Do the people who have told you to try it take your same medication? Are they also diagnosed with ADHD?

Not trying to rain on your parade or say not to do it, but go in with some knowledge on how it could effect you and your personal chemistry

Yes. You have to wean off meds, preferably for a couple of weeks, before ceremony. Especially SSRIs/MAOIs, but also stimulants (for at least 4-5 days IMO).

Ayahuasca includes a high dose of MAOI so seratonin syndrome is a risk if you’re taking antidepressants.

And as a psychedelic, stimulants can, in my non-medical opinion, increase risk of a bad trip. It is also recommended to wean off caffeine, along with a whole host of other “stimulating” foods as part of the overall dieta.

Not in peru, but yes. About 20 times.

A friend said she discovered the meaning of her life.

I haven't ever done it and I don't know that I would. I am honestly jsut too chicken for these types of things. However I have a friend who did it and said it was a very enlightenng experience LOL
