Stuck on a 2c-i "Flashback"

Hi people, this is going to be a long report, but I plead all the people who have experiences with these substance, to they read this, and to give me some advice.

(I apologize for my bad english, but I'm not a native speaker)

So,

4 months ago I took 2c-I for the first time, combined with some MDMA. I just took the half of the trip because I was a bit worried.
I had a really strange experience, I couldn't think at all, I felt very wierd and I didn't realy knew If I had a good or a bad experience. A few days after I went to amsterdam and ate some magic truffels.
I have a lot of experience with those psychedelics, and I always felt very confortable when I took them, and I always had very awesome Trips. But that Trip was really hard for me, I had some really bad feelings and I was very happy when I came down.

One month later I took the rest of my 2c-I-MDMA, this time an entire trip.
I had a really bad experience, but it wasn't like the first time at all. It felt like I would come on the trip for half an hour, and then it felt like I would come down again, 10 minutes later the trip came back, and it went on and on like this.

2 weeks later I felt a strange feeling coming up inside of me,it was like after my first time MDMA, when I got an euphoric "flashback" for 2 or 3 minutes, but this time, it wasn't euphoric at all. I felt extremely anxious, and everything around me went very unreal. I also started to have some really fucked up thoughts, like I would imagine all my life and the world about me, and nothing would be real. Everytime I was thinking about stuff like that, I felt a really great fear inside of me that drove me crazy.
And the worst part is : i am a daily pot smoker, and everytime I smoked pot, the toughts, the loss of reality and the fears went stronger.
So I googled "bad 2c-i experience" and I found a Thread on "Psychonaut.com" where somebody had the same after effects from his 2c-i trip than me. The people there told him to stop smoking pot, and wait for a few weeks.
So I stopped smoking pot (what was really hard for me) for 2 months now, but the "flashback" and the weird feelings seem not to go away. They aren't as strong anymore as at the beginning, and I learned to control my thoughts to not think about those things that worry me so much, but I have the feeling that it want go away like that, and i really really want to smoke some weed again, so what should I do ?

Please help me!

 

Well if the flashbacks and anxiety are dwindling, you can try and smoke small amounts of weed and see how you react.

It's tough to offer you much advice in regards to the 2ci trips as its not really a 2ci specific issue since the trips you've had have been poly drug trips. Drugs in combination can sometimes elicit a range of effects in combination in which neither on their own might, for instance most characterize 2ci as a fairly lucid headspace. Exploring a new drug on it's own before combining it with other drugs is wise. Trips can vary quite a bit from one to the next, even with the same substance at the same dose, so time for integration of lessons, issues, ideas, etc. After the trip is often helpful, which doesn't sound like you did between your 2ci/MDMA trip and the subsequent truffles trip.

Most of that is pretty much general surface stuff, I get the sense there may be more cognitive issues as well but that's about all I can glean from what you've written thus far.

 

I doubt its related to 2c-i. It sounds like some sort of derealization or panic attack. You sound like you are in a state of anxiety, at least during those episodes. I would address the underlying emotions happening here.

 

I had the same thing it was about a week after doing mdma and it only happened when i didnt take my vitamins or i didnt eat or sleep well so just be fit and active and you should be fine

 

that's kinda what i was gonna say. except maybe it IS related to the 2c-i, but it's not necessarily a "flashback."

sounds like you are "simply" experiencing anxiety and remember your unpleasant trip (ok, i guess maybe that is a "flashback")

 

Dude another thing is don't think about it because the more that you think about the more it happens.

After reading this thread i got like 3 the next day.

 

"Don't think about what? Oh! that thing I'm not supposed to think about... damn.. I just thought about it! Stop thinking!! Aaargh!!"

 

Dude i found out what it is, they're not flash backs their small seizures called temporal lobe seizures..

i thought it was deja vu like flashbacks that reminded me of my trip but sadly it's not I will be going to the doctor ASAP to see if it could be a tumor or not and i hope you read this and do the same because these small seizures can lead up to a full blown seizure which is fucking scary because i don't even recall the one i had on 25i. :sad:
