Mushrooms and Lithium Together

[Fungus Maximus]

Hi guys and gals, I take 1200 mg of lithium a day for Bi Polar Disorder, I have been taking the lithium for over a year now without problems, however I had not trpped on shrooms for several years. Then one night 2 of my friends and I decided to trip out.

Something to consider is that some years back I was growing my own mushrooms and eating them constantly so I am well aware of the effects, as well as the effects on all of those that went along for the ride, and there were many. I just mean to say that I am not inexperienced.

So we all ate the same amount this time but I tripped extremely hard and those two felt mild effcts at best. Also important to note; all the shrooms were capsulized by me personaly so I knew the mix was good of tiny ones, mediums, and just before the veil breaks mushrooms, the same way that I have done it hundreds of times in years past.

So I checked it out and was able to find some info that sounded a like some bullshit to me, I was interested in real people real experience to help me out.

According to the information I found, I should never have eaten mushrooms or did all that acid because of the history of my family mental health, that was before I was taking lithium, now they suggest I never eat shrooms

Anyone that has a thought or similar situation, your answers to this post would be appreciated, my questions are wtf basicaly, should I genuinely be worried? Have any of you had a bad reaction while on the two? Do you trip harder if you are taking lithium? Thanks all

Hmmm, I don't take lithium, but I do take Zoloft for depression, and one day i decided to smoke a jay (after i had started taking Zoloft) and it was the same thing you're describing, it just smashed me ten times harder then pot normally does..... upon research i found little to no information about the effect of legal drugs mixed with illegal drugs, the reason which i understand to be that it is ILLEGAL (stupid) in alot of countries to run laboritory tests with illegal drugs....

I honestly believe it's what your mind can handle...that is to say that if you are weak minded and allow society to brainwash so to speak yes you should quit. If you are the type of person who sees the world as it is and can see it honestly your mind should be strong enough to deal with whatever you throw at it (within sensible limits of course, no suicide either!). You have to ask yourself how you deal with problems. I simply don't worry anymore, I've trained myself not to in most anything because I can't change whatever it is. Just food for thought.


PS...did you like it better with the lithium or without? That's your call. I also think (with any drug) the more you do it, the more you can live life normal while enjoying them.

Hi there, I have only done mushrooms twice (4g per trip), but done LSD well over 300x's, dosing at 4-8 hits per trip (800+ mics). I would consider myself very experienced, and would never recommend either to someone with chemical imbalances, bi-polar, on MAOI's, or fundamentally imbalanced. I'd pass until you move beyond your imbalances on this level of life.
Good luck to you.

I SIGN under... Fungus Maximus, you should ask those things maybe to your psychiatrist... maybe he knows more than you suppose about this things ;)

would you ask an alcoholic if you should stop or continue to drink? :confused:

anyway, i wish you good luck and the only advice i can give you is this: if you have fears about what can happen because of the lithium and the shrooms, don't eat the shrooms...
