I just remembered one experience I had with 5-MAPB long time ago.
I took 130mg of 5-MAPB, split into two doses (first dose, then a second one 30 minutes later). The trip itself was really nice: pleasant, very euphoric, but not overly stimulating. I did have some bodyload and unusually vomited once (I've never puked on empathogens before), but after throwing up the bodyload disappeared and the rest of the experience was smooth.
I only slept 4-5 hours the night before. When the 5-MAPB was mostly over, I smoked some weed in the evening. Shortly after that I slipped into a state of mild delirium that lasted for a while.
I've tried classic deliriants before (DPH, Akineton, Pridinol, doxylamine), so I know what that delirium headspace feels like. The effects were:
- Constantly forgetting what I was doing (e.g. walking to the kitchen for water and completely forgetting why I was there the moment I arrived).
- Getting deeply absorbed in imaginary scenarios in my head. They felt more real than reality, then suddenly they’d vanish and I'd snap back confused.
- Auditory hallucinations – hearing my girlfriend in the other room even though I was home alone. I also felt her presence in my apartment
- Mild visual hallucinations - sensing someone standing next to me or talking to me. I remember I was even responding to the voices and talking with them.
It got a bit scary at times because the hallucinations and internal scenarios kept taking over. I was confused and had trouble staying grounded in the real world.
Before and after that I never expected an empathogen like 5-MAPB to produce something this close to deliriant effects. I'm pretty sure the combination of the 5-MAPB, weed, and sleep deprivation played a role, but of course the 5-MAPB was the main trigger.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar with 5-MAPB or other emphatogens? Is this unusual or somewhat expected under these conditions?
