What do you do to help come up anxiety?

I am thinking of taking a low dose of a benzo (phenazepam) 1 hour before a mushroom trip to make the come up a little more easier, however I remember reading somewhere but I can't remember exactly it said that benzo's are used to terminate trips, so would this just cancel the trip out?

Thanks

 

never do this :\

drugging yourself before taking a psychedelic affects the psychedelic a lot. just sit down, relax, smile, and say hello to your anxiety, and ask it if it is as well excited that you are about to trip . . .

 

do something in rhythm

 

the only time i've ever had come up anxiety (DPT), there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.

 

a little bud and a few cigarettes usually help me

 

Try not to dose too much at one sitting. I normally eat 2 mushrooms and then eat 2 more mushrooms 15 minutes later, and continue this pattern until I have reached an
appropriate level of tripping.

Also 1 beer can can help. But more than one beer and things get silly.

 

Yes! This is the BEST advice you will get. If I ever come in contact with EXTREME anxiety, I say a mantra. Its perfect bro. But I only do that if its NEEDED. Emotions are a part of life. Embrace them.

 

^^ I'll keep that in mind next time I dose DPT.

 

In the mean time, find a mantra that you like. Unless you already have one. And just sit there, and FOCUS on the mantra, you can even say it aloud.

 

Benzos aren't used to cancel trips, although they might be erroneously described that way. The idea is supposed to be that they'll calm you down so that, even though the trip doesn't end, you won't feel so horrible and anxious about it because you've got depressants calming your nerves.

Like somebody above mentioned though, this may not be a good idea. I'm sure it works fine for some people. For others it could very well just make the trip stronger and more unpleasant.

Similarly, marijuana is kind of a wildcard. It may not be all that powerful of a drug but it can
affect you in completely different ways on different days.

One time I smoked after doing shrooms and my trip immediately got like 10x stronger, and very uncomfortably so.

Another time I was already tripping really hard on mushrooms and smoked some weed and it immediately calmed me down and the rest of the trip was wonderful.

 

Yeah well basically I was pretty high on the phenazepam (benzo) when I took the 4 ACO DMT (same thing as mushrooms for those of you who don't know), and basically once I was peaking I was stuck in this unpleasant continuous thought loop of how I couldn't understand why I would ever take psychedelics, and why I did this. I think the phenazepam stopped some of my thought processes, and made the ego loss seem like I was stuck in that negative thought loop.

Basically next time I wont take a benzo before engaging on a psychedelic excursion.

 

of course, what else could happen, you entered the psychedelic world stupefied, cognitively retarded, it can only result in confusion.
