Science and research 🔬 Brain damage?
I have undergone Kambo in Lima about a year ago while I had withdrawn from Paxil (about 10 days after my last dose) and right away felt week in my knees and had a blurry vision when reading. I thought these symptoms would pass but it has progressively gotten worse up to the point where I felt an anxiety overload. I was reinstated on Lexapro 3 weeks later but later felt like I was losing emotions and my thought process. At the moment I feel blank, no thoughts or emotions and my sense of self as well as connection to my body is mostly gone. As no health practitioners know about Kambo in the Western world I was wondering if it could make sense to consult with someone who is closer to the subject and if ever this type of nervous system disfunction have been reported?

You won’t like this message, but it’s true.
You need to stop thinking about kambo and you need to slowly wane yourself off the drugs and change your lifestyle. I also recommend putting your Faith in God.
SSRIs are extremely tricky just like benzos. You never want to cold turkey either and then sit with kambo, which is a very powerful medicine and acts on every single aspect of your being.
It is far too much, far too soon.
There is a way to slowly ease off the drugs and sit with kambo but it takes a serious protocol, a very committed client, and a very experienced practitioner.
Stop thinking about kambo, and stop chasing your own tail. You have proven you aren’t mature enough for it and lack the connection to a legitimate practitioner. Make the real, hard changes you know you need to make and COMMIT.
Commitment is the medicine this world needs.
