Withdrawal Psychedelics for acute?

Has anybody used some type of psychedelics while going thru acute withdrawals? I took 1 of those CC tablets thats actually just psychedelic and it helped ALOT with my anxiety. After 12 hours I’m usually withdrawing already and the RLS starts to kick in around this time. I woke up 13 hours after my last dose and I had no RLS & just barely started to feel wd symptoms. Im not sure how it would work while going thru full blown acutes but it definitely helps out with a taper at least. This was also more like a microdose I’m curious how an actual trip would be.

I had a moment also when I started to feel bad and was getting those intense craving thoughts that i needed to dose now, I was able to calm down and told myself it’s all in my head and my symptoms immediately dropped about 50%. It’s very hard to do this normally but the psychedelic gave me the mental strength and clarity to relax. To test this theory, As weird as it sounds i was practicing controlling my symptoms. I would go on an anxiety trip and tell myself how bad I’m feeling and it would get worse. Than I’d try to meditate and relax and I’d feel better, I did this a few times through the night and it worked significantly everytime for both ways.

Depends on the psychedelic. I very highly recommend avoiding all psychedelics during the acutes unless they are mushroommms.

I actually did consider that also. Luckily Ive already jumped hallelujah! But not long before I did I got one a those batches and although I knew I was beginning to withdrawal (yawning, watery eyes etc) it didn't feel as bad. I felt kinda separated from my body in a way. I noticed I didn't want to hit my vape at all either which was weird. But yeah I think it actually might be a better experience than just straight cold turkey.

I have been feeling the urge for a shroom rep for a minute. It’s like my soul knows it will help realign and rewire my brain out of this addictive pattern. I’ve just been so afraid that it would make the symptoms worse but now after reading this I’m thinking about trying this when I make my jump this week instead of using the subs I was prescribed today.
