So last night. I took my medicine so I could go to sleep. I take dramamine and risperdal to sleep. I'm also on suboxone. Last night the only thing I did different was drink a mountain dew voltage. Its a energy drink. Everytime I dosed off to go to sleep. I would have these hallucenations like hearing sounds or seeing images in my head and they were loud. It would keep me awake. It was weird cause these images and sounds didn't make any sense. It was like I was tripping off of some very weak LSD. I was also itching real bad.. I've never itched off of suboxone cept the first couple of times I took it. I didn't get no rashes or anything. Just a constant itching all over my body, mostly on my stomach and stuff. Can energy drinks make you hallucenate? And what about the itching part? Was that just a side effect from the suboxone?
maybe something in the drink reacted wiht either the suboxone or the dramamine. could be anything, but im not too sure.
maybe your mind is just overactive and un-feng-shuied. one thing for sure...the in between of wake and sleep is very psychedelic territory.
You were probably just in one of the earlier stages of sleep and you couldn't go into REM sleep (like you normally would after taking your meds) because you drank an energy drink. Archemetis is right, the earlier stages of sleep issort of half dream half being awake that can be quite surreal.
I see. :] Well I like psychedelics.. But I hate sleep hallucenations cause for me they are normally scary.
I've heard that myself. Not from some scientific source, but from comedian Joe Rogan during a late-night talk show interview, maybe Letterman. He claimed that DMT is produced in small amounts during sleep, and is responsible for the hallucinatory nature of dreams. Who knows, he may be right.
The dreams that I like are when I have absolute free will, plus I'm aware it's a dream. It happens rarely, but when it does, it's fuckin' great. I can go on a complete rampage, breaking everything in sight, without repercussions. I just wish I could find a way to make it happen more often.
