Lsd overdose?

[Chris_c18a]

So I tried acid for the first time. My friends said it was good so I only took a tab. I sat on my couch with music a some bud and thought if I need to go outside I have a safe exit. If things go wrong I had water to stay hydrated. I ate a big breakfast and went to dunkin for extra food. The first 6 hrs were amazing. I have never been in something so incredibly intense. Colours everywhere I was moving in and our of music videos. But it took a wrong turn. I felt like my body was shutting down. My torso became very white. And my head bright red. By this time I was fully awake. The intense trip had ended. But it felt like something was wrong. I couldn't feel the left side of my face and my legs and left arm stopped working. The only movable part of my body was my right arm. I had this urge to sleep. But it felt more like death than sleep. I crawled from my kitchen into my living room and tried to calm down. Assuming it was just a bad trip. Then the sound of snapping twigs and rushing water filled my head. I had this knife stabbing pain in the center of my brain. I started crying. My eyes became so swollen they looked like tumors of my face. I couldn't see anything. I regained feeling in my right leg and did my best to find the sink. I kept drinking sips of water to stay hydrated. I thought this was it... I'm going to die. I'm OD'ING on lsd.... I went into the bathroom and broke the mirror rule so I could see what was going on after my eyes regained some vision. My fave looked like a stroke victim... but I was too afraid to call 911. I pulled thru and the trip lasted around 17 to 19hrs. I had friends come over to watch me and they immediately saw the dropped stroke face and we're insisting I went to the hospital. I gave in and said I have no choice. I went they looked at me and treated me like a drug addict. Mind you I smoke weed with friends every now and then but nothing else. They gave me Xanax and told me I'd feel better in a few days. 5 days after my trip and symptoms keep getting worse. I had an mri of my brain and they said I was fine. An EKG... fine. Sodium, electrolyte level.. etc... fine. My brain feels incredibly reduced from how smart I used to feel. I am a bio major and a duel athlete. I'm not sure what to do. If I really have damaged my brain and could be going insane. Last night I started hearin things. I don't know if it was water or voices but something was making sound inside my head. What do I do... I have a doctors apt at 245. Hoping to get a referral to a specialist. Lmk your feedback... I'm desperate.

Ps I have a knife stabing pain in my side when I take a deep breathe. And I can't go to the bathroom like a normal person. The second I feel anything if I'm not by a toilet I can't stop from going right away.

Sounds to me like you didn't take LSD... You should test your tabs with Ehrlich testing kit.
Might have been a DOX chemical based on that long duration but nobody could say what drug you took at this point.
Buy a testing kit so this never happens again.
Stay safe!

Yeah, if you have any more of what you took, better reagent test it. LSD is NOT known to have those side effects.

The good news is that with most of these injuries, people recover and feel normal again with time. Seeing a doctor is the right idea. Good luck.

Good that various problems were ruled out by the tests (i.e. stroke, etc.). If it was LSD then your symptoms should be psychosomatic at worst - and therefore potentially amenable to resolution without lasting effects and certainly no actual physical damage. As the above posters said, if it was another unknown substance then no-one can really know, but it's probable that others in your area took some of it and if there are no news reports or whispers of people being "damaged by drugs" then barring an idiosyncratic reaction for you, you should recover. Just might take some courage and work on your part - psychosomatic illness is indistinguishable from the real thing to the sufferer, but getting the doc to rule out physical causes and then accepting that it could be psychosomatic is the first step. Finding someone you can work with who also really understands this is the next.
