Are you sure the psychoactive reaction...

is not a herxheimer reaction????

Herxheimer reactions (or ‘die-off’ reactions involving chills, fever, night sweats, muscle aches, joint pain, short term memory loss and fatigue or a general worsening of symptoms) usually occur for days to weeks due to release of bacterial cell wall degradation products and stimulation of interleukins or chemical messengers that cause worsening of some signs and symptoms.

This is why I say, "keep an open mind"!

I became deathly sick with all the symptoms descibed above including neurological and psychoactive as you described. I then realized that it could very well be the "herxheimer reaction" rather than a side effect from the Wormwood . This makes sense because my symptoms magnified after taking the herbs. I really need to kill this viral/bacterial infection. I also would rather do it with side effects from herbs as opposed to side effects from anti-biotics.
