my first shroom trip gone bad

[makip]

Yesterday I had shrooms for the first time, I bought 2 grams. The guy said 1gram per person was enough but I read online that it might just give me a buzz, I was going for something I never felt before. I had them around 6:30-7pm, I was alone in my house and I chewed the 2 grams then chugged orange juice, and then waited for the effect. After a little my stomach was feeling very upset..I was trying so hard to listen to music or stare at the plants through my balcony but I didn't feel comfortable anywhere (maybe cause I was trying so hard) I was very nauseous so I decided to smoke some weed to to help get rid of the nausea. I don't know if that helped me or fucked me up more but it got rid off my upset stomach. At that point I was already starting to feel weird when I walked..and with the weed the shrooms got to my head a lot faster. I was actually enjoying the feeling for a while until my parents were almost home..that's when I started freaking out and it went downhill from there. I was trying to put everything away. At that time I was having strong vibrations, specially on my hands so pushing down my window to close it was a pain in the ass. I couldn't find a place I felt comfortable I kept going from my room to the balcony because I was looking somewhere to relax... I couldn't I was having serious panic attacks at that point. So I decided to lock myself in my room that way if I crash or start acting up nobody would notice..I couldn't control it which is what amazed me (although I already knew this would happen) when I locked myself in my room it got worst. I had very strong body vibrations so if I lay my head down in a pillow I couldn't feel anything so it just felt like I was laying in space..as if my body was kinda numb..I heard mirror were to be avoided but that's actually what helped me to get myself together most of the time..it I touched something I couldn't feel it because of the strong vibrations in my hands so looking at what I was doing or touching helped me it really did. Music and tv both felt annoying but silence felt even worst.. I didn't know what to do..I tried going to sleep it didnt work, I was freaking out really bad all night.. I was just so nervous somebody would notice. And oh yeah I was really itchy all the time..I broke my nail trying to scratch myself..all I did was freak out and scratch myself on my bed..eventually somewhere around 11pm I was starting to come down, I was so glad..I wasn't tired at all so I got up and cleaned around a little..later on I felt comfortable in going it side, for myself a banana cause I was starving..by 12:30 I was back or almost back, I was actually able to enjoy watching tv I just had very strong vibrations on my hard which later on I just played with cause it wasn't so strong. Earlier I couldn't touch my hair cause my head felt so sensitive every time I touched it, it hurt like crazy and trying to cover my self with the sheets it was an impossible task due to the vibrations as well. Now in the morning thankfully everything is gone, except a huge headache.

Lol next time dont take twice the recommended dose of shrooms you have never tried before. I think most of the "bad" parts of your trip could have been avoided if you were in a much more controllable enviornment. Parents and shrooms normally dont mix!

Well there are alot of things wrongs with what you did there, in my opinion.
First of all tripping alone when you are a rookie is generally a bad idea and especially if its a drug you have never tried before.
Second, when you are about to trip make sure there are no possible stress factors that could interrupt or ruin the trip. Your parents arrival was a huge stress factor in your case. Taking drugs in your parents house is a bad idea, unless they are out of town or the house for at least 2 days, so you are aren't affected by any drugs when your parents return.
And honestly, all your other symptoms are caused by paranoia, due to the stress factors. So basically the way you took the shrooms, you just wasted them.

So basically the way you took the shrooms, you just wasted them.

Not if the OP came out of the trip with some sort of lesson learned. People make mistakes, in no way does that mean what that did was a waste. Next time he will probably be able to do shrooms in a more comfortable setting.

But you live and learn. Perhaps if you try again you will do it in more comfortable surroundings. Was any of the experience interesting, even if scary? Anything that might make you want to try again and get a more positive result?

As people have said it sounds like anxiety was your major issue. A big things with psychedelics is being able to let go and go with the experience. If there is a next time try and remember that. Also, if the first time I tried shrooms I had done what you did I would probably have been a nervous wreck too - so don't let it put you off too much. If you decide to do them again try and put that experience behind you and follow the advice above about being in a safe place, with friends, preferably one of them sober ect.

Hope you are alright and any residual anxiety has passed.

My first mushroom trip was also a bad trip, in the same sort of setting. I did them by myself, but only because my friend had eaten 3.5g the night before and didnt trip. I think he psyched himself out. So.. I ate the 3.5 thinking they were bunk, hoping I'd at least get something mild and they were just really weak... This was completely not the case.

I spent the next 5 hours in the fetal position on my bed in a full on panic attack, thinking of calling an ambulance. However, that didnt stop me from trying again, and having some of the BEST times of my life on them. Try them with a friend that you're comfortable with in a lower dose, and try not to get too anxious about having another bad trip. My 2nd trip was truly one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

Sounds like poor set and setting ---> panic attack ---> bad trip. The weed only amplified the effects. Next time, try making a mushroom tea instead of eating them to help with the nausea. Skip the OJ too, and leave the weed for the tail end of the trip. Also, do it in a safe and controlled environment while you are in a positive state of mind.

Oh yes definitely.. Since I smoke pot a lot in my house I though I was going to be able to pull it off if I just stayed in my room..but it was definitely scary lol..I was so paranoid to make any noise that might make one of my parents know on my door..since I had such strong body vibrations and sort of numbness when I laid down on my bed it felt like I was on nothing..I just felt vibrations on my face and head instead of the pillows it was uncomfortable at the time but when I was sober the next morning I was actually able to point out the things I enjoyed since i had never tried anything that strong before

By the way thanks for the tips guys, I'm thinking of trying them again but I don't think that very soon
