Took shrooms, brain feels less sharp 3 days later

[Bob Seeker]

I've never experienced this before

Was the biggest trip I've had, about 1/3 of penis envy shroom chocolate bar from a dispensary

was a bad trip, got stuck in a loop of reliving my fake life over again for eternity

only lasted about 1.5 hours

afterward, 24 hour+ headache

brain still not functioning like before, feel stupid.

Anyone else deal with this?

I want to keep taking psychedelics but I don't want brain damage. 

I will avoid shrooms and take other chems if they won't do this.

It's not brain damage. You just need some recovery time. Mushrooms can produce a bit of a hang-over effect.

Especially after a bad trip you need time to integrate and return back to baseline.

Don't freak out. Relax and carry on with life.

Exercise.

You burned your brain receptors. Start meditating, drinking enough water, and give yourself time.

Normal stuff, no brain damage. Just take break from psychedelics for 2 weeks.

It's just the downregulation of serotonergic signaling, and probably glutamate.
Also, any stressful event for the brain will make you more stupid for a few days.

Dude just chill, you need to wait at least a week. 

Sometimes even on normal dose with a normal Trip you can have hangover effects which last a week

Yea. This also happens to me after a big mushroom trip and penis envy is an INTENSE strain. Definitely drink lots of water and rest. 

I kinda think sleep is an under-rated part of the integration process after a big trip. I mean like extra sleep, such as naps and longer sleeping periods beyond 7-8 hours. This always helps me but your body will tell you what it needs.
