With the icepick headache there are no accompanying symptons of congestion, eyes watering etc.. It is just excruciating, stabbing pain on one side of your head. Mine seems to focus just between my eye and my hairline.

Strangely enough I hadn't had an attack other than very short jabs over the last year or so. But, after posting about it and then doing a bit of googling about the latest news I had a 30 second attack. Must have been induced by my talking and thinking about it. I hope my information helps anyone who is struggling with this situation. I immediately took a 12 hour sudafed, actually a generic brand, and experienced no further attacks.

The studies I had seen for the psilocybin were based on daily micro-dosing. Not enough to cause hallucinogenic effects.
