I haven't posted on this forum in AGES. Hey everyone! Man, do I have a story about 25I-NBOMe, which I used to do quite often about 2 years ago. When I was fresh out of college, it used to be my favorite drug in the world. My guilty pleasure was to combine it with weed and copious amounts of raving and sex. I won't go into detail here on the psychological experiences I had, but still remember the first time I did it, left quite the mark on me and I felt I needed to keep 'learning' from it - or in retrospect, keep chasing that feeling. I would still even do it despite having a tolerance, to the point I ended up doing 5 tabs in a night once without even knowing the dosage of the tabs we were getting, the day after which, I was told by one of my 'friends' at the time that probably should have killed me.
Despite that I kept doing it, and then started to notice some weird side effects and behavioural patterns forming. Now, my memory of this time is cloudy, but I remember I would often start to feel incredibly drowsy on the comeup, go to sleep and then wake up very high and very tripping, and actually trembling and shaking. Quite a few times I woke up shaking so much and so out of it that I started to develop suspicion I was possibly having mild strokes or seizures while sleeping/or unconscious.
I would also experience things sometimes like losing control/'deadness' of an entire side of my body, which could be due to vasoconstriction, but also somewhat lends itself to the idea of having had a stroke-like occurrence. I eventually started to feel 'asymmetrical' in terms of control of my whole body, even noticing I was walking funny/unevenly, which was personally horrifying and I think is what was the final nail in the coffin for me to stop. That 'unevenness' actually lasted over a year, to the point I had to 'retrain' my walking and physical coordination. It was such a sickening feeling, the realization that you've potentially given yourself brain damage or lasting physical ailments, over a few months of binging some bizarre psychedelic.
Does anyone else have any particular experiences with this research chemical? I still find it fascinating, even though I no longer do it.
