100 mg trazodone, oral ROA
+ 300 mL strong black tea
Taken ~25 mins before boarding a flight from the Midwest to the PNW. It ended up being roughly 4 hrs in the air. This occurred yesterday.
Background experience with this substance is quite extensive. Initially introduced to me by a friend sharing their Rx, I found it to be a tremendous sedative and/or sleep aid. After a visit to the psych floor of the hospital during a suicidal nervous breakdown, I was prescribed 20 mg fluexotine and later 10 mg escitalopram instead. Due to sleep troubles (and just general ‘speediness’ with the drug) I was switched to the latter and also prescribed trazodone. I quickly dropped the SSRI but have continued intermittently using trazodone. First, at doses of 50 mg. And later, titrated down to 25 mg. This dose provides me with effective insomnia relief, but avoids side effects such as dry mouth, and feelings of thirst. There is still a minimal amount of hungover grogginess that occurs until 10 hrs post dosing.
Anyways, I initially tried to zonk out as soon as the flight took off. What followed was short spurts of (seemingly) REM sleep mixed with equinumerous lengths of wakefulness . It was different than falling back asleep on a lazy morning and experiencing increased lucidity within dreams. Rather, the dreams took on the form of the external environment. Hallucinations of people not present on the plane did occur. They spoke to me at times. But, right now, trying to recall a distinct memory of one, it is impossible.
The normal dreamscape with trazodone at 25 mg is vivid and weird yet stupidly fun. Things often take on a sexual tone, seemingly out of the blue. I often remember stark images of faces. Usually, people I know. Admittedly, I do not keep the best dream journal to document everything.. But of these things I’m sure.
I certainly found this plane ride to be a curious experience. Not a trip though.
When I woke I was surprisingly not sleepy. I was able to work through a couple pages of a math textbook that I’m currently studying. And that, I do recall. I was not super thirsty but I drank one cup of hot black tea which almost certainly affected my perception from them on + one can of orange juice later. Conversation was stimulating and engaging after the tea.
Altogether, I think avid lucid dreamers would appreciate this drug, even if only to test rougher waters. Probably not something a drug naive person would appreciate. But do what you must, just be safe.
