still tripping randomly?

ok soo i took 4 hits of strong acid about 4 or 5 months ago. it was my first time doing it and was amazing...probably the best day of my life. i havnt done it since though. i was tripping balls visualy for like 12 hours and mentally for like 15 hours. i didnt sleep at all that night and i forgot too bring my backpack too school the next day and ended up just hanging out at lunch and not going to any classes.

after taking acid i saw my freands for who they were and relized they a couple of them were bad people and made new freands. after taking acid i can tell whos a good person and a bad person whitch i like alot...its like it gave me a magical power. and im a much nicer and more confident person after acid and arnt mean to anyone and feel realy bad when people are mean too other people..i get like realy emotional and pissed at them and sorta label them as a bad person.

but now randomly im seeing rain like almost every time i look at something for a long time..it starts to rain and my vision gets blurred. and whenever i listen to this song i listened to when on acid i start tripping a little. and sometimes if i stare at a black board i see letters and shapes in it that arnt there. and sometimes if i stare at a computer i start too feel like im spinning....its realy mild but still when is it going to stop?it also hurt my memory alot but wateva....i mean i dont mind it that much but kinda want it too stop.

does this happen too anyone else?

 

not to dissapoint you, but its likely it wont go away. I have similar symptoms, sort of like what you described, and I haven't noticed a reduction over the last year. Im not saying it wont go away, because I really dont know, but from what Ive heard and my own experience, it's rather permanent. At first I was disoriented by it, and when I realized it probably wasnt going away it scared me, but now I'm really not worried. Its sort of like being able to experience the world differently than everyone else, and thats pretty cool. id say dont let it get to you, just accept it as fact and move on with your life.

 

from all I've researched and read. The effect of LSD doesn't actually cause an interaction in your brain like how psilocybin replaces serotonin.

LSD Is out of your brain after like an hour and a half of taking it. It's out of your body after like 2-3 hours. What happens when LSD touches the brain is all your synapses disconnect and pull apart. The whole trip is actually your synapses in your brain reconnecting, trying to reconnect. What this means is, the effect of LSD, what you see and experience from LSD is actually not caused by the chemical at all. It's caused by your synapses unwiring. Everything you saw and experienced is actually all in your brain and you have the ability to get it all back by just relaxing and allowing your synapses to undo themselves again, meditation basically.

It quite literally shows you the depths of your psyche. Those depths are still there even without the chemical. Those portions of your brain though can be controlled and meta-programmed with meditation, magick, religious stuff, spiritual practice, sacred geometries etc.

If you pay close attention, your old self, your old wiring of your brain, it's still all their. It's all functioning just the same. Just now your aware of a deeper level of functioning. A level of functioning that in essence, transcends words, is above words, can't be controlled by words or simple imagery and communications.

Or if you just live your life out exactly how you did before and manage to come to the same realizations and experiences as before. You'll wire yourself up exactly the same as before and it will "wear off".

 

i wanna clarify

i dont regret taking acid at all
it was the best thing i ever did
i dont want the mental changes it gave me ever too go away, and i think now that my minds been opened it can never be "closed"
i just want the visuals too go away but there not that bad and sometimes there very pleasent and enjoyable.
acid made me such a better person.

 

try focusing the visuals into something
i draw mandalas, decorated shapes or sometimes 'spiritual' images of myself when i really feel the visual portion of my brain going

typically I find it's never an issue of getting rid of anything. It's usually just a matter of removing delusional, paranoid and anxious aspects from it and then learning to control it.

 

I find it enjoyable, and look forward to it... I know about this "rain" thing you speak of, from what I have learned anyone can see this (even people who haven't used lsd) I suppose the lsd has brought your attention to more subtle forms of energy. I do know that I can see this just about anytime I want to.. it is not as easy to notice when around bright light, I normally notice this when light is dim.

 

thanks for inspiring me to do acid...

 

i have this too and i dont think its ever going to go away. if i look at a carpet i see like trillions of little moving dots that make the carpet look like its squirming. i see them everywhere, but im used to them now. i didnt get them until i did mushrooms like 15 times this summer and acid a few times. i havent tripped since early september and i have them as bad now as i did in october the dots are only really noticable when i stare at carpet or space out looking at something.

 

yea it's like a grainy haze or something. It isn't bothersome (to me), once you get over the fact that it's there you don't really notice it unless you try to, I also see it a lot more right after I wake up from sleeping in the morning or in the middle of the night.

 

dont do acid..you will end up insane like this kid. and he doesn't even realize it. Its sad

 

Maybe true, that is subjective. LSD literally saved my life, it didn't make me insane.

 

LSD saved your life, or it helped you realize things that saved your life?? Hallucinogens are great fun and deep as fuck I know...But the thing is, I now realize that I could have experienced all those deep things in a fulfilled life, and drugs held me back from exactly that for a long time..
I hate the fact that I sometimes see older people giving teens the message that its okay to experiment with shit like LSD, just because apparently they did and it didnt fuck them up so bad. The fact is, the shit is dangerous, and its irresponsible to tell kids that its okay, even admirable to experiment with it.
Call me "close minded" but when someone is seeing things, hearing things, thinking that they have "magical powers" etc...Those may well be "normal" side effects of taking hard drugs, but they also define certain mental illnesses that can destroy someones life, socially and otherwise. Many people have underlying mental illnesses, that would not come to the surface if it was not for a drug experience. And that sounds like what may be happening here.

Honestly, To the original poster...If things get worse, please do not be afraid to go get help from someone. I know that what experienced was life altering and incredible, but please do not forget who you were before this experience. Because that is who you truly are. If drugs make you who you are, its fake. Reality is what you always knew to be true. Just please, if you become depressed or have extreme anxiety, or start seeing/hearing things that others do not, or believing that you have special powers etc...Please get help! Otherwise it may only get worse.

 

whatshappenin23, thats all good and fun.

But the resounding truth of the matter is. Western psychology still hasn't proven that a single mental illness actually exists.

All they do is take people who have developed new magical qualities to life, who can see the non-physical layers of reality and then they try to pass them off as something of their own creation! "Schizotypal" or whatnot. Really thats just dumb. They run back to their ignorant group "look what I found this man says something I don't understand, I'm special right?" No mr psychologist, your an idiot.

Making a group of people who profit off 'dysfunctions' of people will, without a doubt, create many, many 'dysfunctions' in their time.

Besides, Timothy Leary figured out the cure for schizophrenia in the 60's, theres nothing to worry about. Just go read his book neurologic if you feel like you have issues. The last thing you should be doing is trying to spread such issues to other people. Really, why would you do that? Thats not nice at all.

 

I actually got this noise on everything from just marijuana use, long before I even did lsd.

The thing that I find really interesting about it though is. It's different on different things and in different locations. Certain places I literally only see like maybe a couple dozen indivudal 'grains' in my field of view. Most places though are just completely covered in it.

I see this too... like the grain or static on things will morph into patterns for me. But it only happens if I REALLY focus on it and let it happen.

But do you sometimes get specks or dots that flash up that are notably big, like dime sized.

 

Both, amongst other things. I didn't say the acid didn't "fuck" me up, I had one hell of a trip! Truth is, pot "fucked" me up worse then lsd. But I don't consider it "fucked" up anyways, just my path.

I'm just trying to relate my experience.. and I can relate to what your sayin, it's not that big of a deal. To me the fact that an underlying mental illness exists, means it should come to the surface. Why else would it be underlying? I don't intend to give anyone the message to experiment.. but they do!

And for the record, I don't see, hear or "fuck" things that aren't there!! But I do have magical powers.
:tongue:

 

i dont know i kinda understand what he is saying. i have really bad anxiety now. i used to have it when i was a kid, i kinda grew out of it, and now it's back. maybe it was just a cycle, or maybe it was LSD who knows.

 

whatshappenin23,

Your heart is in the right place, but your advice might actually be pretty dangerous to someone who's had his first acid trip. We create our own realities through our belief systems and those who we choose to surround ourselves with. So what good do you think checking into a mental hospital where everyone thinks he's crazy would do for him?

 

"But the resounding truth of the matter is. Western psychology still hasn't proven that a single mental illness actually exists."

Excuse me?? I guess I knew that there were people like you, and I too am not a huge fan of Psychology and many of their practices...That being said, I have OCD. Or wait, Why dont you tell me what I really have?? For a long time I tried to cure myself through alternative means, or rituals and shit. Only when I started adressing my problem as a mental illness did I see positive change. And I never once checked into a mental hospital. I talked to a therapist and psychiatrist.

Im sorry but maybe you just don't like the term "mental illness" but things do go haywire within our brains that disrupt our normal functioning in life and make it very difficult for us to live. Those suffering often commit suicide...But Im sure they just took away their lives because they "tapped into some higher power" or whatever you're trying to say. I do believe in some of the things you're talking about in some sense, but please, people often have mental problems that need to be adressed. Thats the fact of the matter.

 

maybe they took theyre own lives because of people like you going around telling them that they are fucked in the head. then they start to think hey maybe i am fucked in the head. then its just a downward spiral. how can you define something that doesnt physically exist?

 

thats a really fucked up thing to say my friend. shame on you.
