Using DMT and Mental Disorders

A DMT trip can offer more than you bargain for. Among the possible mental health disorders, anxiety can be a frequent flyer. With your neurons firing on all cylinders, feelings of unease or paranoia may swoop in uninvited.

In the same vein, DMT can cause other mental side effects, ranging from alterations in your sense of self to intense hallucinogenic effects. The very fabric of reality may seem to unravel (especially in the case of flashbacks). For some, it’s akin to peeking behind the cosmic curtain; for others, it’s a VIP pass to an anxiety roller coaster.

But that’s not the whole story. Psychedelics provide you with some sort of euphoria and mental clarity, and DMT is no different. One of the possible DMT side effects is (ironically) reducing fears. So, when you use DMT you can either end up with more, or less anxiety than before. (Of course, in the scope of side effects.)

Fun Fact ✨

DMT, or Dimethyltryptamine, is found in hundreds of plants and even in trace amounts in the human body! How’s that for a cosmic connection?

DMT Side Effects That May Surprise You

Okay, so we’ve chewed over the mental morsels. Now, let’s shimmy onto the physical dance floor. The effects of DMT aren’t just a mental mambo. They can manifest physically, too. So, if you decide to take DMT, be prepared for some unexpected tango partners. Physical side effects include an increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and dilated pupils. Nausea and dizziness are right there, too. It’s like DMT is inviting your body to a high-intensity rave, and your heart’s keeping the beat!

How Long Do the Effects of DMT Last?

Now, for some timey-wimey stuff. A typical DMT trip may only last between 5 and 20 minutes – a cosmic coffee break, if you will. However, once the effects begin, time becomes a slippery concept. DMT may stretch those minutes into what feels like an eternity.

And even after you’ve returned from your interdimensional jaunt, the effects can linger. In other words, you’re no longer tripping, but the back of your mind is. Again, this is a side effect, and normally it just feels like exiting a concert. You’re not anywhere near the speakers or the crowd, but everything is still loud, and you can feel your heart pounding.

Can DMT Addiction Be a Side Effect?

Let’s get serious for a moment. With repeated use of DMT, there’s a potential risk of psychological dependency.

Addiction isn’t something that is often tied with DMT… but then, any substance with psychoactive effects can lead to patterns of abuse. Over time, large amounts of DMT can cause changes in your brain chemistry, leading to a desire for repeated experiences. In the grand cosmic lottery of DMT side effects, addiction may not be a winning ticket, but it’s still in the draw.

Mitigating the Risks of DMT Use: Knowledge is Your Life Jacket

No matter if you’re a seasoned psychonaut or a newbie, the more you know (🌟) about DMT side effects, the better you can prepare. How? Remember to take care of your set (mindset), setting (environment), and dosage.

  • The side effects DMT can cause on your mind are not entirely avoidable. But meditation, or self-care, can help you clear your mind, so that you can enter the trip in a blank state.
  • A safe place doesn’t necessarily mean home. What you need is to be somewhere familiar, when nothing or no one can hurt you. We also suggest a friend in case anything goes wrong. 
  • You’ve probably heard “start small, then increase” like a hundred times now (for a good reason). But, if you want to hit the road with a standard dose, just make sure you don’t overdo it. Seriously, it’s like learning how to swim – acceptable to throw yourself into a pool, but not so much to do it into an ocean.

Always remember, fellow space cadets, the best trips are those taken responsibly. And even though some of the DMT side effects may seem scary, they are still just side effects – they may not happen at all. Stay curious, stay informed, and above all, stay safe!
