You guys need to remember that all drugs have positives and negatives. If you read enough about Dopamine Agonists...well bad things can happen.
Here is my experience and review of lisuride for my rat (or whatever):
My goal with lisuride was similar to one that people have with LSD. LSD can dislodge old thought patterns, it can shake you up. Read around and you will find experiences shared that show people changed forever after a trip. Lisuride has a lot of the same agonism as LSD, so my main goal was to use it to really feel what a full dopamine surge feels like. Pboy talked about a similar experience he had using lots of cacao. A full dopaminergic state is something to behold.
I used two dosages spaced about a week apart in early August. The first dose was cautious: 3 drops(75mcg), the second double that at 6 drops (150mcg). I would say the six drop dosage really solidified the experience, and what to expect.
•3 drops was very sedative. For the first hour and a half I could literally just lay there. A massive feeling of lethargy overcame me. The feeling was quite startling because I thought I would waste the rest of the day. However within an hour and a half, this sedation passed rather quickly. I got up and felt energetic. The six drop dosage was similar, however the sedation was less and I was up and about within an hour. The higher dose was much less sedative for me. I also noticed that time passed more slowly. Very trippy feeling. After the sedation period passed, it felt like I had slept for hours, and was arising to a new day. Yet only an hour or so had passed. The day lengthened considerably.
•After the sedation period, I felt rather god like. The best way to describe it is that first drink you have when you are young (before the years of alcohol abuse numb you to all but pain). Anxiety falls away, fear leaves you, and you suddenly feel like you can do as you wish. However unlike alcohol, with lisuride you do not lose your inhibitions. You still realize that jumping off the roof into the pool is not a great idea. Overwhelming confidence filled me. I felt supremely in this moment. There was not an issue that could arise that could not be looked at, and then solved. If the solution was wrong, adjustments would be made, and the new solution applied. I had focus to spare. I could pay attention to whatever was happening in this moment, while simultaneously coming up with creative jokes, rearranging the words around that people spoke, noticing the new shoe laces that my girl friend had purchased. How could I not be confident with full awareness? This feeling was VERY similar to taking lots of B vitamins, or eating lots of liver. You can kind of get an idea of what it feels like with those methods if you do not want to buy lisuride. However those will not have the lasting effects obviously.
•After some time, that feeling of supreme confidence wears off, and things just get kind of confusing. I really do not know how to talk about the days afterwards. Sometimes I felt great, sometimes scared, sometimes elated. Whatever I was feeling, I did not lose that confidence that seemed to have sprouted in my root. It may actually still be there, it is hard to know. I was impulsive at times, really wanting to DO something, to explore something, to figure something out. I ate lots of food. Everything I did, I did it a lot, and almost OCD like. Things I did were not satisfying, I had to KEEP doing them, I had to play MORE golf, eat MORE food, think more deeply, more more more.
•Things did get shaken up, like I wanted, but not in a great all loving way. See a lot of the things you believe, even if limiting, also protect you in some ways. Losing them can be uncomfortable. One of those beliefs I will share with you is the belief about youth. I had a very compulsive childhood, lots of video games, lots of impulsivity. risk taking, chaos. As I grew older, I thought the wisdom from those experiences instilled in me the knowledge of how to live better then that. Lisuride pretty much took me right back. My stomach shrank, my eye brows thickened, my jaw strengthened. Watching before the mirror as I grew younger was one of the most frightening things about this whole process. With that came the urge to play games again. I noticed I impulsively would go out at night...why not? I felt great, I had the energy. This whole process really made me question my ideas about health, and youth. Perhaps wisdom IS being old. Perhaps there is no such thing as wisdom in youth. Hard to explain. Hard to fathom that a simple chemical could transport me right out of my comfortable wisdom of the way of life. A lot less control then I thought. I felt a bit like I lived in another's body for awhile.
•I wanted to do one more experiment, but I lost the desire really. I am pretty sensitive to vitamins and supplements. So your mileage will probably vary, but this is the experience of someone who is sensitive to this kind of thing. If I took this all the time...I shudder to think what would happen. Would I become young again for a few years, only to rapidly age as my D receptors down regulate? Flame out? Robin Williams-it? There was some kind of come down, not like cocaine or alcohol, no crash, no desire for more Lisuride. So maybe it could be sustainable...I know that if I had a couple years to live, doing lisuride every day would be a nice way to spend it. You would leave comfort behind.
" that seemed to have sprouted in my root". Yes. You have a true nature. It really does not have an age. It can feel child-like (Shoshin in japanese). Piercing the veil can cut the root of delusion. So in this way it can both provide life or take it away -- depending what walls you have erected. Sand castles? Ghost caves? It's just showing you without discrimination. So you can look at it. So just look at it. Penetrate it. See all its multiplicities. If you think of things as 'reference points', you can hold up your two index fingers. Ask, where is the middle? Then take away your fingers and ask the question. The answer then becomes "middle of what?" Which reference points and erected walls do you want to keep and which ones are just a pain in your ****? Let your root decide. Because it can and always can. That ability never goes away with or without Lisuride. But it's a good tool or any tool that helps you see clearly--piercing the veil. But still, nature is dangerous. It does suck you up and down without discrimination. So we do erect walls and constructs to keep nature away. I think it is healthy to see reality clearly and choose what is needed to protect yourself while you experience your life. Like a river. We see the beautiful water but it is also carving a scar in the landscape. It's both. It's not dualistic. So you can be "child-like" whilst having the adult knowledge of the scars carving in your landscape. There really is no cognitive dissonance. But there is a rewarding ability to see the multiplicities and accept them disambiguated.
