I posted about an intense trip, and no one seemed to respond to that. I don't know why. Anyway, I had a question about my trip experience. I had a trip on Thursday, which was intense, and mostly very uncomfortable. My head felt like it was going to explode as my mind raced on overdrive. Felt like the whole world's energy was being processed at hyper speed through my brain. I took the LSD (half a hit, mind you) with the intention of optimizing myself. A few days later, and I feel *mostly* back, but something is different. I feel head pressure, as if there is more activity in my brain now. I also woke up with a sharp feeling in my head this morning - *it* woke *me* up, to be exact. It went away after I peed and had some water. Aside from this kind of weird pressure feeling, my focus is incredible, and my energy is through the roof. Don't really need much in the way of stimulants. My trip was Thursday-Friday. It is Tuesday. I feel like this has made lasting changes. I have never been a headache person. I am hoping this doesn't bring on headaches, yet at the same time, I am hoping that this has rewired me for higher optimization. I feel like a laser. Very interesting experience. I do not feel any pain. I am never touching LSD again, but will continue to micro-dose on mushrooms once in a while. Does anyone have similar experiences?
Sounds like perhaps you didn't get lsd...did it have a weird taste or sensation? These just don't sound like lsd or even post lsd effects for that matter...especially at such a "low" dose.
With only one post, people don't tend to respond because a lot of times, one-post-wonders never come back. I don't think what you had was LSD
Idk it could of been lsd. You can have all different effects from acid, including rushing energetic sensations, intense downloads and processing of information, and feelings the mind has changed. They say when you activate your third eye, their are all sorts of pressures on the forehead. Well the lsd defiantly activates your inner eye, and unlock certain energies, so perhaps it is a similar experience you are having. Just give it some time and it will even out. =)
This is possible. I have never heard of anyone having bad headaches after LSD use. OP do not be scared of taking it again. If you feel you got any sort of benefit from it take some time off to process your trip and come back to it at some point.
The thought about it being something other than LSD crossed my mind, but I feel it was LSD. It's been 13 years since I tried any, so it's hard to compare. One thing that seemed spot-on were the visuals and the energy. But it spiraled out of control. By the end of the trip I had lost a lot of my motor function. I almost became a vegetable. It really pounded the shit out of my cardiovascular system. The feelings of unease/nausea/head pain lasted a few days. The headaches are fortunately gone. I do feel like something has been awakened in me, though. Hard to explain. I feel like there is more blood flow activity in my brain, my focus is incredible and just a little bit of caffeine (i drink tea, mostly) really sends me off. I feel like I may have opened doors that I chose to close after a lot of trauma and self-implosion as not to be too conspicuous. I am open to micro-dosing with LSD in the distant future. I have a reputable LSD source who sells me organically grown mushrooms. the LSD I bought was not from him, but rather some random kid I met in downtown Austin whilst out. He apparently takes the same stuff, but I have no idea if that is true or not. It could be that I am simply not built to handle LSD anymore. I had taken it 4 times at ages 18-20. I am now 32. I don't know if the great benefits I am feeling are short or long term. I took my LSD with the intention of bringing more of me out. Optimization, higher intelligence, etc. Seems to have birthed something... birth isn't fun, though. It hurts. Have you noticed an instant, lasting boost in your intelligence after taking LSD? When I was a youngin', all I was interested in was "WHEEEEEE!" and that's what I got. I had intentions this time around... This was the first "harsh" LSD experience.
I wouldn't say it boosts your "intelligence".. because nobody really knows what intelligence is. Certain aspects of it can be measured vaguely to see how someone can perform certain tasks, but without a reference point, intelligence is about as meaningful as a fart. Psychedelics do open your mind, and you can label an open mind with "creative intelligence", I guess.. but it's pointless.. The psychedelic experience allows you to be more aware of certain patterns, how things work, and breaking out of paradigms that may or may not be holding you back from what you actually want, rather than what you think you want.. which often means challenging previous assumptions that you've built your whole life around, and it's hard to watch all of that lifes work disintegrate in an instant.. but it can be very rewarding. Most people here have, at least once, been left hanging with a kind of feeling similar to: "Well fuck.. now what?.." after a heavy experience. So you're not on your own, it just takes time. One of my favourite YT videos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfD3X3f5C_w"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfD3X3f5C_w There's some real gold in there.. worth a watch
micro-dosed with mushrooms (0.1) and took the bus out for halloween. very interesting experience. you become a bit like a funnel... didn't feel like socializing but i had plenty of fun staring holes into all the weird costumes. Edit: meatymushroom, thanks for that link. I am ALWAYS transforming myself... this was a strangely drastic month of quick transformations. i usually take things much slower. back to slow place.
In a way i felt/feel what you're feeling it's just so much of everything going on it's incredibly overwhelming, it scares me how one can see so much with a substance like that.
Seriously doubt you had LSD, most likely an nBome and the effects sound rather dramatic for a half of a hit. Everything else you describe I have experienced before and have seen in others, some in this forum, it's called "Psychedelic Hypochondria". It is a syndrome in which for a short time after a more intense psychedelic experience there is a lingering feeling that maybe "I broke something" and the subject will then begin to equate a causality for any and all maladies to the psychedelic experience. It is often also earmarked by statements such as "never again" or "I think I have got all I can from psychedelics" and similar proclamations. But my friend at least take comfort in the fact that, if it was in fact LSD-25, your symptoms are for certain NOT a result of ingesting it. LSD is just about one of the safest substances used by man for such self-discovery endeavors or just for recreational purposes. White sugar does more damage.
