Relieving come-up anxiety?

My friend and I just started tripping together. Recently, we each took a tab of acid and throughout the entire trip she said she felt extremely anxious. I was fine, but she is also this way with shrooms.

What can be done to ease her trip? I believe our acid trip was a weak dose as well.

 

Weeeeeeeeed

Edit: Actually, cigs. Weed's my warp-drive button. Cigs were my anchor to reality, when I smoked em.

 

Any anchor in reality. Cell phones are great reminders of the real world for me, they've got both the time and a way to communicate with people. Also, simply touching something near me helps me stay in touch.

For substances, I'd probably offer her some placebo - vitamin pill or something?.. Xanax or valium might help, but I think the placebo effect would be just as powerful as a benzo or other depressant.

 

until i read the post i was gonna say masturbate, but thats more of a solo trip sort of thing lol. But it does relieve the tension and get ur mind of of coming up and more on cumming.

 

i think the thing that releives the anxiety for me the most would be playing video games haha, theyre so fun and after about an hour you realize your tripping and its even more fun after that!

 

oh geez. i wouldnt trust a cell phone to relieve anxiety. and weed only increases anxiety for me and alot of people i know as well.

try kava kava tea or tincture, maybe some calamus root. i hate to say it, but tobacoo is a tool as well. if your not a smoker though that probably not the best route to explore.

you know....pausing for a moment to take some deep breaths is probably one of easiest and reliable ways of going about it.

 

^word. Breathing is the best method, focus on taking slow, deep breaths for a few minutes. also, physical contact can be a good anchor, but it could make someone more anxious as well, I guess it depends on the person.

 

yes.

im with you, i think weed intensifies everything during a trip and can really get you twisted. ciggs work fine for me

 

Avoid any pharmaceutical calming effects, unless it's something ultra subtle like camomille tea or something lol. This path just leads to popping benzos on your comeup and drowning your pristine lotus jewel of a trip in weed and booze. she needs to deal with her shit! she needs to sit down and ask herself "But WHY am I getting anxious".

self-reflection is the first, and last step in becoming a more developed person.

 

the anxiousness during the come up at least for me is just part of the experience. it lets me know that something big is about to happen. if anything a toke or two should help your friend relax without crankin things up too much.

 

Comeing up is the best part. You just have to let go.

 

lol! I thought I was the only one!

 

The letting go tip was good advice...It was easy for me somehow, before my trips were so speedy...Getting lost in Pink Floyds us and them was the high light...During the come up i wasnt thinking so much as i was seeing how high i was...I didnt have any anxiety tho,more aweness

 

this is probably the best advice. you have to understand your anxieties, not drown them out.

 

Realize there's nothing to be anxious about? Lol
Mind over matter is KEYYY with acid in my experiences

 

Definitely.

 

I enjoy the comeup anxiety. I consider it a fee that must be paid for the awesomeness that is soon to ensue.

 

agreed

 

drink beers

 

lol yeah have that Chick slam a few shots for her acid anxiety
