hello all,

   i've been lurking for a bit now and felt compelled to speak up now. I
haven't quite
gone into full blown K mode (as I see it) - twinges and also definite
effects while
on entheogens. I haven't tried to invoke it deliberately - I just want to
let things
take their course and work on immediate problems first (chakra issues etc)

anyways, i've just gotten thru a DN (year and a half) and there's definitely a
relationship to serotonin/dopamine levels. I could have gone on SSRIs but
after
wrestling with the question, chose not to as 1) am wary of putting unknown
man made
chemicals in my system that don't have the track record of safety that
things like
mushrooms do and 2) i felt I was going thru a psychological process and
disrupting
it with chemicals wasn't the best idea

biologically speaking, i think the DN may serve as a way of doing a
complete reset
of the serotonin/dopamine system - this bottoming out lets the system
reestablish
itself in a better way / balance (i.e. the generalization that too much
serotonin ==
anxiety and too little == depression)
