i dosed one small blotter with a few hits of vapo 2 weeks ago today and since then (it was mostly a bad trip, it started with a group mostly of people id never met before, and i was nervous my gf would be mad at me for taking it. i would not hesitate to say the "tripping" part did last 3 full days and was filled with nauseau confusion and a little paranoia. the only good thing was music sounded amazing......), but anyway... since then i havent been feeling right. i am sure this is a typical result of acid, but i do feel like i dont know reality like i used to, i am less connected to the phsyical world than i used to be, and everything i see feels like a cardboard cutout. fake. like reality could at any moment be swept away or peeled away like a sticker. i am posting because i really need to know some suggestions for things that will help with the panic attacks i have been having that have really been interfering with my being able to go to my job and think straight. i need suggestions for things that will comfort me, as my muscles are constantly tense. my appetite is almost nonexistant as well and i have to remind myself to eat and when i do it is not enjoyable and i usually have to gag food down. my heart races at a speed that sometimes really scares me, and i get light headed. this happens daily and for about 2 hours a day. afterwards i tend to have a 3-4 hour period of extreme mental clarity, but the nonexistent appetite and nausea remains and the feelings of dissociation in my cupboard i have seroquil, tylenol PM, clonozopam and antidepressants, (prozac, zoloft) from when i was on them a few years back, and am wondering if anyone has tried these things or had similar periods of time where panic attacks or "echos" of a bad trip remained. i have heard that anti-motion sickness OTC meds can help. id like to hear ifany of these things have helped others. i need to be able to eat and at least be subdued enough to do my job at work, im sure ill be back to normal within the next few weeks but its going to be rough thanks
You really shouldn't take drugs for the first time with a bunch of people you don't know and with your girlfriend not wanting you to and with you worrying about your girlfriend not wanting you to . . . that is just asking for trouble right? LSD lasts 8-12 hours and then it dissipates and you are back to reality as you once knew it. If you actually had body sensations, visual effects and thought disturbances for 3 full days then you 100% did not take LSD. What you did take we can speculate about, likely a "DOx" compound. The best thing for you to do to help with panic attacks is to: 1. Exercize 20 minutes a day minimum (even just go outside for a walk) 2. Respect your body and understand it needs real, deep *sleep* to work 3. Eat healthy food (you have no idea how strongly food can affect your mind) 4. Stop drinking caffeine! Very bad for anxiety. I wouldn't recommend touching any of those unless they were prescribed to you by a physician. Those are serious medications for serious problems with serious side effects that could make things worse for you. You took some bad drugs in a bad environment and you got freaked out and now you have panic attacks, so you need to learn to calm down again. Sit down and think about nothing for 5 minutes. I challenge you to do it for one minute. This is going to take a lot of good hard work. Good luck
exercise get a hobby The antidepressants can work for anxiety if you want to use medication but you may need to adjust your dosages.
why were you taking clonazapam to begin with. That is an antianxiety benzo. Do you have a history of anxiety? I understand about how horrible anxiety can be, and if it so bad you can't eat and are suffering from derealization I would suggest you talk to a professional and get treated. I highly doubt the drug you took is the reason the anxiety is continuing, but you need treatment beyond just exercise. In fact until you fully understand the nature of anxiety the elevated heart rate of exercise can esculate those feelings. You need to learn real coping skills now that the neuropathways have been jacked up.
thanks so much for the detailed response, mr writer, i have been feeling a lot better after the excercise [easy to get - my main mode of transportation is bike ] and after just talking to my girlfriend, & took some vitamins/ate good food. i am back to normal now... it helped to have this forum to share my feelings. tvc15 the clonozopam i got from a friend who uses them to calm down on bad trips, i did take them when i dosed and they helped a lot. normally i do not have any major psychological problems beyond what the drug i took did, and i have realized that they were ptsd-like flashbacks/echoes of some sort. the depression/anxiety meds i had in my cupboard been on years ago in high school, and i know that they were wrongly prescribed to me by certain close-minded people in my life who were eager to dismiss practical and normal emotions as psychiatric illness that needed medication.
Sadly, I was sold fake LSD too and had a similar 24 hour + bad trip (music was amazing though too) and now have intense derealization and panic attacks. It's been almost a month since. Eating healthy is a MUST. Excersise. Keep yourself busy, (I often get lost in my own mind chatter, that's not good), surround yourself with positive people, obviously try to find a psychiatrist who specialises in disassociative disorders, be kind to yourself, and don't let this deter you from living your life the same way before the trip. For panic attacks, I just sort of let them happen without putting up a fight and they pass much quicker. Sent from my IdeaTabA2109A using Tapatalk 4
I didn't realise how old this thread was. Did you beat the derealization? Sent from my IdeaTabA2109A using Tapatalk 4
