so, i had i pretty bad trip a couple weeks ago. i almost last my mind, but i eat a block of cheese( which i don't even remember) and drunk a half gallon of milk. so, my question is, what will my flash back be like??? when will it happen??? how many time can it happen??? i also had the same thing happen to me on mushrooms. but i got better. then, while on my come down, i got up to go out side, andi blacked out and had a seizier. after i grabbed consciousness, i had a busted lip. i couldn't feel that much, i had really bad eyes sight, and it was hard for me to undersatnd what people where saying. i also had this real bad ringing in my right side of my head. i was the scaries thing ever. will i be okay??? will that bring a flash back to??? can i blackout and have a seizer aain??? can so one with better insight give me a hand???
woah, that sounds terrible. yeah I have had both bad and good experiences, but never a flashback. well, you may have one if you are a smoker of weed, because I sometimes experience one when I toke after a heavy experience but it is probably just a placebo.
In the early 70's a friend of mind was writing her masters thesis, it was on LSD flashbacks. well written and she received her degree. She told me years later her therories were disproven. No such animal. The human mind has a tendency to bring up "old memories" aka, "flash-backs". For no reason you might flash on wading in a lake when you were 5 years old or the smell of popcorn at the Saturday movie, so whats to say you can have a memory of when you were trip'in. Doesn't mean you still have some acid left in your brain or it has to be a bad trip, its just a memory. Just the way I feel about it.......Dennis
I just can't agree with that. There is a huge difference in an acid flashback (visuals, extreme depersonalization, who the heck knows what else) and the smell of cookies bringing back a memory from your childhood. Like, a really, really, really, really big difference. Because you see, to flashback to cookies is to flashback to cookies. To flashback to a trip is to flashback to DEATH. Ask a shellshocked Vietnam vet if his flashbacks are comparable to a cookie flashback. Simple fact: too many people have reported flashbacks for them not to exist at all. I personally have experienced a few instances of extreme depersonalization that I am as certain as I can be were caused by tripping on LSD. Could they have been caused by something else, such as a preexisting mental health condition? Who knows. All I know is I never felt like that before I tripped, and it's happened to me several times. But it's ok. I know what it is, and I accept it, and it's no big deal. No regrets at all. Original poster: don't worry about flashbacks. The more you worry, the more likely you are to have one. Just don't have a panic attack. If you ever start to feel funny, just retreat into your consciousness man. Like, zone out. Don't think. Just be. A bit of unsolicited advice: honestly, I wouldn't trip again if I were you. If you're having seizures, I think it's time to rethink psychedelics for you. But, that's just my two cents.
Holy shit I driving my shakey old truck earlier tonight and started having a cop flashback or somthing because I kept seeing cop lights in my rear view mirrors where there were none. Mixed a with a healthy dose of derealization resulting from being stuck in a hotbox in a buddy's car. And ima out of beer and benzos...
(Must.. resist .. urge.. of being annoying about the typo's and spelling).. Well basically flashbacks exist. I've never experienced a bad trip on anything, and I've done LSD a few times now. I've only had minor flashbacks, when really stoned or after just waking up I sometimes get very slight visual distortings. They're not nearly as intense as in the trip itself but they're deffinatly there.. Thats the only time of flashbacks I had so far, but I have no idea if it'll be different for a bad trip, my logic says no but I've heared otherwize so I really have no idea.
