Ive been on edge about trying for a long time...

So I have been thinking about trying psychadelics for a long time now. I am worried though because i am in general a pretty negative person, and i think i have anxiety problems. i get panic attacks somewhat frequently, and if i smoke too much i get sick from paranoia. so basically, is there a safe way for me to try psychadelics? also, is there a way to talk myself out of whatever negative thoughts i might get. just knowing myself, i think after i take whatever i use, i will start thinking oh no, what if i have a bad trip, whats gonna happen, etc. basically, if i finally remember to inform my parents of my anxiety problems and get perscribed something and it fixes the problem, would psychadelics be a bad idea? also, is there something like xanax that would take some edge off that would be safe to take with psychadelics? i dunno, i guess im just looking for some guidance, and ask whatever questions you need to to better understand my situation and what tips you might have. thanks.

 

IMHO, psychadelics are not for you.

 

is there some kind of lifeline i can have handy. i already have 2 really good friends who have tripped a few times before, and love it, and i would do it with them. we would plan an entire day with no responsibilities. i was just readin around the forums and read some things about vitamin c, but only in the lsd forums. also, i think id rather have a bad trip for 8 hours, then spend years wondering what it would be like. i almost feel like i have to try it, because of how i feel when i smoke, and i want to try really bad. so i want to try, but im worried about how i will handle it. is it when you dont wanna try that you get a bad trip, or is it when your personality is just wrong? also, what about slowly working up to find the right dose for me? also, would shrooms or lsd be better? i know theres a lot of questions, and i am not sure if im the right person for a good trip, but i dont wanna spend the rest of my life wondering. i really want the experience.

 

I am exactly the same way as you. I get very paranoid on pot and do have panick attacks. Mushrooms are definitely not you drug, but acid has been kind do me. Im not saying itll be that way for you, you never know, but this is just m expereince. If you do decide to dose, have some valium handy.

 

how does valium affect the trip? is it like an instant killer, or does it just take you down a little after some time? also, what should i take for the first time? i have a very low tolerance for alcohol and weed and even tobacco/nicotine when i smoked cigarettes. ive been in places with weed that none of my friends have even come close to. i love turning out the lights putting on some headphones and tripping to tool or pink floyd and i can see the music. i know it sounds weird for just weed, but thats how i get. im also affected by my environment a lot, so i know how id have to set that up. i learned from smoking which atmospheres keep me happy/content, and which ones trigger my nervousness. thanks you 2 for the advice, and anymore is greatly appreciated.

 

I it chills you out alot and makes the trip tolerable, basically kills it essentially, although you can still feel it.

 

Psychadelics are often going to amplify your thoughts and emotions that you have. So if you're a negative person, that's going to be amplified, which is not good.

Also, if you're having doubts about it, I'd say it's best to not do it.

Benzo's (xanax, valium) will help with a bad trip, but it's also going to really dull down the trip and take away from the experience.

 

Yea lol. Dont eat the magic mushrooms, they are weird voodoo medicine that makes everything go upside down and inside out. Spirits controling your body, visions of Christ and seas of people behind your eyelids yelling at you, anything can go down.
By the way, no matter what ANYONE on this site or in the world tells you, there are certain trips one goes on that absolutley nothing can prepare you for, no research, not even loads of experience. I had tripped hundreds of times before I finally lost my mind on mushrooms, and trust me, it was not fun at all. Broke me down to the core and my comprehension of reality was way out of reach.
Good luck whatever you decide to do, not trying to scare you Im just being honest.

well i feel more comfortable knowing theres a least something i can do if im having a bad time. i think it might put me in a safer, better mind set for a trip. anywho my friend is getting some acid for spring break, so i got a couple weeks to thinik about it. and i was just wondering about the vitamin c and xanax not thinking it would make the trip better, just hoping it could end it if i get bad, even if it means not having a good trip...i have a feeling if im in a bad one, ill just want to be sober, not have a good one.

 

Well, sure something like valium and xanax will slow down a trip, an average trip that is. But if you go off the deep end, just ask your friends beforehand to knock you out. Works like a charm!
If your going to do this fox, mind over matter bro. Unless you lose your mind, which, really isnt that big of a deal. It always comes back sooner or later and we all go a little nuts every now and then dont we? Just stay positive and as much as I loathe the word, 'will' yourself into heaven.

well yea, i was thinking of just taking one or two hits, cause like i said, i usually have a really low tolerance for most things i use...is it possible that when doing a smaller amount its worse? kind of like youre tripping, but you know you are tripping and feel out of control of yourself?

 

i have anxiety problems too

and shrooms were awesome for me...
but i think that was before i had anxiety/paranoia problems.. i think.. can't remember...

 

Low doses are only worse when the trip never kicks into a higher gear, leaving you with a sort of suck in the mud feeling. The out of control only happened to me once, and on magic mushrooms on a relatively (in my case) small dose. Thank God I was paralyzed in pain or I may have ended up hurting myself. Think, being electrocuted. This apparently has never happened to any of the hundreds of people I've met who have tripped, and my friends ate out of the same batch and had a great time.
But that's another matter entirely and I assure you this was because of a mistake I made during meditation.

well i guess if worse comes to worse and i really hate it, ill have friends there to take care of me and itll be over after about 8 hours. i really want to like it though, cause its a side of me i would like to see without fear.
