Ok so in June i took only about 200ug of LSD along with a lot of weed and alcohol. The night b4 I had taken half a g of Mandy as well.

The Acid trip was ok, quite funny etc until the 8/9 hour mark, thought I was coming down, went up to the bathroom and suddenly fell on my face without warning. Was sick all over myself, desperatley wanted to die but dont remember why. Went into the garden and fell on the rocks, cracked my ribs. Lay there begging my mate to slit my throat for a couple of hours whilst being sick etc and crying until i fell asleep.

But that I dont consider particularly weird because I did ingest LSD of course.

What I do find weird is that the next day when I woke up i felt exactly the same. Was still tripping, desperatley wanted to die. Quotes from "Fear and loathing" I could hear constantly right next to my ear. I stole loads of my mates alcohol to try and cope but it didnt work and i lay there crying all day.

Went up to anothers friends house, was so scared on the way that i blacked out onto the road. This was now about 30 hrs after ingesting the acid.
Lay at mates house screaming and begging for death (which of course really scared her), eventually went to sleep, and woke up
FEELING EXACTLY THE SAME

Nothing was real and I was sure I had gone completley insane. I promised myself suicide if the symptoms persisted for another 2 days. Everything was fucked up beyond belief. I wouldnt leave the house because i was terrified of everything outside (agrophobia).
Called my parents and asked them to come down and take me out of uni because I had gone insane.
Cryed and begged for death, feeling worse than I could have possibly lmagined for another 5 days until the effects gradually wore down.
Doctor put me on antidepressents, and I managed to obtain some Diazepam which helped alot,

I still get regular flashbacks which has just this weekend caused me to lose my job. I know the flashback bit is quite normal,
but does anyone have any thoughts on wot happened to me in the 5 days after taking the LSD?? HPPD maybe?? I have not been able to find a report of anything similar.
Thanks.
 
Mandy as in MDMA, but i took that the day b4 i took the acid. They both affect seretonin though so i probably had nout of the stuff which caused some sort of percieved madness.
 
I had a bad trip that was sort of similar but not anywhere near as bad. I recovered within a couple weeks.

You probably had a concussion when you fell the first time. The combination of serotonin depletion due to MDMA, cloudiness due to weed & alcohol, the concussion, and the broken ribs probably caused your brain to go into a massive panic during the next few days. You then probably developed PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

I suggest seeing someone who specializes in PTSD. None of this is permanent and you'll fully recover given enough time.

Cheers for the response mate, I am now recieving CBT, auricular acupuncture and shiatsu as a result of this LSD trip or whatever it was and its all working wonders. The most helpful thing by far for HPPD or acid trips is to STOP DRINKING.
But of course thats easier said than done!
 
That did seem to last a long time. How are you feeling now? When I used to take trips a lot, say I did on a Friday Night, on work on Monday I still definitely wouldn't be in a normal state of mind. My vision would often go blurry and have some trails and stuff, but nothing too major. I would give it a rest for a while, at the very least until you feel completely normal again.

Don't pay too much attention on an idea that you have caused anything permanent or try to find a diagnosis, it tends to make things worse doing this. I mean I always did this, I would be on a comedown from MDMA or something and look up something like borderline personality disorder or something and think, yeah that's it, I got that, and then start spiralling downwards in negative thinking. When in fact I was just on a comedown!
 
Too sedated to be of much help, but I've had similar things (severe agoraphobia, paranoia, voices and sirens, feelings of doom, panic, saw assassins behind every door, couldn't have anyone in the house, it was like there were networks of cameras hidden in my wall, agents in a room behind my mirror. The house was alive like it was trying to eat me and things where smiling at me and twirling around. The house always looked like a meat locker, an abandoned hospital or mental hospital from the dark ages, or a metallic, electrified prison... it felt like they were going to give me the chair)
partly from individual experiences but largely from long-term drug abuse. It goes away if you know how to make it. You can do a lot by learning about yourself.
 
Thanks alot guys thats really helpful, the symptoms have pretty much gone now, but am taking 20mg of citalopram every day as well as recieving auricular acupuncture, shiatsu and CBT all of which really help. :)
 
Wow sounds like a rough dose, glad to hear you're making a recovery. Iv experienced some symptoms mentioned (delusions etc) but iv never heard of such physical effects from acid alone
 
Im experiencing this right now, its quite scary things look so sureal and im on day 4. Im almost positive its the concussion, i got a pretty serious one and wound up in the ER. So thats the last time i take 8 hits of acid :(
my hearing is still fucked and my ego's not there yet, i get confused allot when i start focusing on it. Ive noticed that if i just let go things fall into place but Im sure i have HPPD or PTSD (probly both :P). So far self medicating with 5htp but il go to a doctor soon and get real help. Any advice would be great!

sorry to hear about your job. Im barley holding onto mine my boss thinks Im smoking before i come in haha but hey... itl be alright :)

some acdc just came on my itunz i like it
 
I got some similar problem but not related to acid... (im 15) i hate shrooms recently but one of those 3 time (the last one) i did alone and it was about 3 am in the morning when the trip started i started hearing ticking and ppl talking right after and no more hallucination where occuring ... now when i take showers i seem to hear ppl talking outside the bathroom but at the same time there is that loud shower just going like SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so yeah thats about it i wanted to try acid but im starting to think that i might not be ready for it.. eventuly...

I would recommend that you stop taking the 5htp and go to a doctor as soon as you can get an appointment. Really, for the only reason that what you're experiencing is probably really uncomfortable and unpleasant, so you kinda owe it to yourself to go to a doctor and get some real help instead of self-medicating. Know what I mean? Good luck, and let us know how you go <3

Hey man, welcome to Bluelight :)
If you were hearing voices after you stopped tripping, I would highly recommend that you do NOT take any more hallucinogenic drugs for a very long time, if ever again at all. Obviously your brain didn't respond too well to the shrooms, and we only get one brain so we have to look after it!! It's not worth the risk of having an even worse trip next time, or hearing more voices etc etc.
 
I had a very similar experience when I was 17. I found out years down the road while I was tripping I was also having intense panic attacks at the same time. The LSD wore off but I attached the tripping feeling to the anxiety attacks I was having after words because the first time I had an attack I was on LSD . I thought I was on a endless trip. I barely graduated high school. A severe panic attack can mirror a bad trip. If you look up some symptoms online you'll see. See a doctor and be honest. The LSD can trigger a chemical imbalance. PDST is quite possible. There is hope.
 
^^ Very good advice, thank you. How long did it take for you to fully recover?

nervous breakdown due to mdma and LSD... can't say I'm too surprised. Either Quit or get used to it.....

If one is having panic attacks from tripping I would highly recommend against just "getting used to it" ;)
You were spot on about the quitting part though :)
 
Well it took me a few years to get properly diagnosed. 16 years ago it seemed panic attacks were almost unheard of. I was misdiagnosed a few times. Once I met the doctor that finally helped me it took a few years. It was hard to separate the trip from the anxiety. Once I did though I made giant steps in progress. I still have anxiety but I am able to recognize it for what it is. They are very similar!
 
^^ I decided to quit when every trip inside a 5 year period was a 6hour panic attack....no weeds either.....can't say i miss it either. my functionality improved in society why take shit that is a surefire way to feel BAD. LOL.....

"hey man you Just aren't in the right headspace bro! Set and setting duuuude!"
Fuck that.... Even with my best friends i used to get convinced they were scheming to KILL ME... that shit aint right....
