I've been waiting for 5+ years to trip again and the time has finally come but now I have some major butterflies. I will be recieving some sid in about an hour and was wondering a good method of relieving the anxiety. I don't want to drop while feeling like this. I am excited but I am also unusually scared. Scared of what? I am not entirely sure and it's quite annoying considering I know I have nothing to be scared of and I've tripped plently of times before and I will be in a comfortable setting with people that I love. I don't have any Xanax and I am in no position to aquire any at such short notice. I do have some Marijuana. World it do some good to smoke a bowl before dropping?
i would smoke a bowl...i have this same problem, when i first started tripping i was never scared....now i always get very anxious and nervous....smoke a bowl and dont take it til ur 100%
Go sit outside in the sun and just clear your head, think about how individual ants compare to humans in their civilizations thinking shit like that will definately put you in the mood also listen to little fully clouds by Orbital
Drop the acid and do this little meditation: http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291625 That should put you in proper mood to continue your trip. Anyway, enjoy man!!
Im sorry to hear that you were jipped friend. I just wanted to share that I've tripped more times than I care to count, with the longest break being just under 2 years (due to the birth of my son), and I get butterflies nearly every time I trip. Moreso from magic mushrooms than LSD but it still happens. I just remind myself that it is the effect of my ego having it's first attempt to send a distress signal to my awareness, begging me not to loosen the love connection the two have together. One thing I do now during the comeup of any psychedelic trip, is (a weak form) of yoga. Last time I dosed with a member here, great guy actually, we laid on the ground next to each other on our backs, put our legs straight in the air, and just stayed like that for close to 30 minutes, bending and stretching and just generally being upside down. Then we laid flat on the ground and next thing you know were sitting up laughing at each other, brains already overided negative introspection mode and jumped high gear into the complete turn on Hope you have better luck next time, namaste
the anticipation it the worst. But eventually it will pass and you'll be like: "Shit!....I'm trippin'..."
i dunno. if i ever had anxiety about a trip i would drop. anxiety means you arent ready for it imo. wait until you whole heartedly want to take it. those are the best.
If I'm feeling anxious about a trip I dose up and watch 'Perfect Hair Forever.' The show pretty much revolves around acid but you don't know until the sixth episode. So if you watch them in order, you're laughing your ass off and by the time you hit the acid episode you're tripping your balls off. If I preoccupy myself before the trip actually begins there's very little anxiety. Try that when you get something that isn't DO(x) And other than the duration and the come up, is DO(x) really that bad? I'm not familiar with it.

The effects are not similar to LSD at all. Nowhere in the same ballpark even. Read the thread link I posted earlier.
In my opinion, the best thing to counteract trip anxitiy is the take the sid and JUST the sid, forget about it, and pop in a movie. but thats just with a low dose... i was watching predator comming up on a hit of some liquid shit with a friend comming up on 3 1/2. Were were laughing hystaricly through out the whole movie. after the movie was over, we made our way to the rec room to play some halo. me and two other friends were just fine playing video games, but the one on 3 1/2 just stared at the screen with the controller beside him saying "I dont get it man... HE COULD BE ANYWHERE!!"
