I am convinced that doing acid in my teen years contributed to my lifelong depression/anxiety/obsessive thinking-- even though I was depressed before I ever took it. I think depression was one of the reasons I ever took it to begin with, and depression led me to try to "self-medicate"-- the whole chicken/egg thing. Much to my despair, I also think it screwed my brain chemistry up in terms of being able to get help now from anti-depressant medication. I am ultra sensitive to side effects, and my depression is primarily "treatment resistant" although I've tried so many things. Maybe we are predisposed to depression or OCD and the acid just triggers it off and exacerbates it. I have read more than a few posts now referring to adjusting to these AD's like feeling some of the uncomfortable effects of acid, which I have also felt. I think the effects of acid (and worse Ecstacy) are so much greater than we ever realize they might be. Of course I was so depressed and self-destructive at that age I wouldn't have cared anyway. Boy, now I do. You are lucky you have found a medication that works for you. Best of luck.
