Shrooms and epilepsy
Wed, 06/17/2015 - 17:57I am 20 years old and was recently diagnosed with JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy). My first and only seizure was about 2 months ago, and between the time that I had the seizure and started my medication I took a hit of MDA (like a mix of MDMA and LSD) and did shrooms (not knowing I had epilepsy) and luckily had no side affects. I am on 100mg of lamictal daily and still titrating my dose up to 200mg.
Essentially my question is if I take 1g of shrooms at a music festival will it lower my seizure threshold or induce a seizure?
I’ve done basically every drug numerous times throughout my life, and have had no bad effects so I’m assuming my body handles them well, and 1g is less than half of the dose of shrooms I typically take. Please let me know any experiences!
