(Sorry in advance for the long post; I attempted to include all relevant details. An abbreviated version follows at the bottom.)
This past Saturday, I dosed with about 25 mg of 2C-I at about 2:00 PM. I am a 19-year-old male, 6'1", about 150 lbs.
I had recently begun taking 10 mg escitalopram (Lexapro) daily, which had been suppressing my appetite. Prior to dosing, I had consumed only 1/2 cup of coffee and a prepackaged breakfast cookie (300 calories or so). Shortly after dosing, I drank one 11.3 ounce can of guava nectar. Needless to say, this was insufficient nutrition and hydration for a day of tripping; I should have been much more careful and at the very least consumed water throughout the day.
The trip commenced, which saw myself and friends exploring their snowy campus and a number of indoor spaces.
At around 9:00 PM, as the effects of the 2C-I had begun to dissipate, myself and friends smoked two bowls of high-grade cannabis.
At around 9:35, while standing and talking to a friend, I suddenly began to feel slightly faint/overheated and started to see a swirling patterning of yellow stars over my visual field. I immediately returned to my room, turned on a fan, removed a layer of clothing and got a glass of water.
At about 9:38, as I moved to deposit the sweater I was wearing in the hamper, I began to lose consciousness. My friends were understandably concerned and attempted to rouse a response from me while debating whether or not to notify one of the dorm overseers. I heard some fragments of their conversation and was able to regain consciousness long enough to reassure my friends that I was aware of who and where I was and to notify them that I suspected dehydration. I requested that I would be given the chance to get hydrated and rest before any determinations be made about resorting to outside help.
I was able to struggle to my feet and sat on my bed before feeling the need to vomit. I advised my friends of this and got up to go to the bathroom next door to my room. My visual field was overwhelmed by the star patterning as I made my way to the toilet, and I had to rely on touch to position myself over the toilet. By this time, the need to vomit had suddenly disappeared. I passed out again for about 30 seconds on the bathroom floor, but was able to get back to my bed with some help.
By 9:41, I was seated on my bed, still feeling rather overheated and faint, drinking cold water as quickly as was comfortable. In the next few minutes, I drank two large glasses of water. I removed all clothing but my underwear to help my body cool down as much as possible and laid down, still seeing some patterning over my vision. By 9:50, all patterning over my vision had disappeared and I began to feel much, much better, though I was still very stoned.
Over the course of the next two hours, I drank a few glasses of water (one of which was mixed with a packet of Emergen-C), took a number of vitamins, and ate a large bowl of whole-grain oatmeal and several large handfuls of peanuts. After this, I slept for about 9 hours. The next day, I felt relatively good, and I was very careful to make up for the nutritive deficiencies of the previous day.
****Reader's Digest Version:
I took 25 mg 2C-I in the afternoon, having consumed very little food and essentially no water. About seven and one half hours later, after smoking some weed with friends, I began to feel faint and blacked out briefly from dehydration. I promptly began working to rehydrate myself and ate to restore my energy.

Does anyone have any idea how much damage this occurrence may have caused? Is there anything I can be doing (supplements, etc.) that may mitigate or reverse any damage that may have been incurred? Needless to say, I won't be so careless in the future.
Thanks!

Passing out / blacking out can be really scary.
