Alcohol withdrawal after psychedelic consumption

After the psychedelic experience, over half of the participants noticed alcohol withdrawal symptoms like craving, depression, anxiety, irritability, and restlessness. Surprisingly, many found these symptoms to be "much less severe" compared to their previous attempts to cut down on alcohol. Some experienced less common symptoms like lack of appetite, increased heart rate, tremors, fever, and seizures, but most reported that the severity was either the same or much less compared to their previous quit attempts. Notably, 69% of those who previously experienced craving observed a significant reduction in its severity after the psychedelic experience.
