Acid and benzos

How would the trip be like if one takes LSD combined with xanax in the beginning. I tend to get quite anxious when coming up and usually leads into it later. Anyone have any experience with that?
 
Ive heard both ways. But I never noticed anything. Even if it did affect it, its minor compared to you being uncomfortable the whole time. Do what makes you comfortable, friend.
 
Could you just have a beer or two instead? I find a couple of drinks on the come-up is good if i'm feeling a bit anxious. They dampen the trip a bit for a while but no where near as much as benzos would
 
Benzos will significantly blunt the mental aspects of the trip. I find that they usually have less of a destructive impact on the visuals.

Yuck! I'd take a benzo over booze for that any day.
Just thinking about drinking while tripping on acid sounds terrible, lucy doesn't like alcohol. Booze and 2C's, strangely enough (particularly the shallower 2C's) does go well together, maybe even too well - i always end up overdoing the alcohol when i start drinking on 2C-I/B/C, leaving me sick or with a horrible hangover.
 
I find that combining benzos with psychedelics just leaves you looking at the pretty colours and patterns, but blocks yuor ability to look deeper into yourself and the issues surrounding your life.

Maybe if you had a good friend with you you could overcome some of the come up anxiety rather than taking a benzo or two and having a blunted trip for the rest of the night... just a thought :).
 
Like others suggest find ways to overcome the anxiety your feeling during the come up. LSD is one of the few that allows me to sit and chill while it comes up or walk around if I feel like it but either way i'm content. Your also in fair luck since LSD doesn't take two hours to come up and hits pretty fast and smoothly. I would just find out what it is that makes you anxious as its rarely something that you can't even do a thing about!:) Then just work out what works best to alleviate those things and all should be good/keeping the benzos only as needed like it really should be.
 
Perhaps look into kava kava....it is something I take on a near daily basis, and I suffer from intense anxiety all the time, not just whilst tripping. Kava supposedly mixes extremely well with psychedelics. I know from experience it has very nice synergies with weed and also caffeine.

Imagine it like weed, but different. A peaceful, comforting, relaxing, cozy little bubble. Add that to anything and it's better. Kava is especially nice because it relaxes you physically but your mental function remains lucid, whereas weed can cloud a trip. I use the one by Herb Pharm, it's very potent.
 
Really? I'm surprised you get such good effects from kava. I bought a few kilograms of it last time I was in Fiji (strange law: the only way it is legal in Australia is if you personally bring back <2kg from overseas) and I dont find it that great.

Its really hard to explain but it feels like it goes much shallower - its a relaxed mildly pleasant feeling but it doesn't get right down into the crevices of anxiety like alcohol does. Even so I'll try to remember to have some next time I trip
 
Taking ~70 mg of MDMA 1 hour before dropping the acid makes for a smoother transition and a very nice trip. Because the MDMA dose isn't too high it won't dominate the experience. Make sure though that the MDMA is clean and doesn't contain other stimulants.
 
I have only tried this combo once, but it was actually quite enjoyable. The sedating properties from benzos and the hallucinogen properties from the acid. The introspective aspect was way more subtle.

Of course it's not as powerful as alcohol...but it's also not going to make you nauseated and/or atrophy parts of your brain.
