Before I begin, I must say that I strongly disagree with mixing alcohol and pills, especially if you don't know what they do. It can be dangerous, so please don't repeat what I did, as I had blood in my piss afterwards and I feel very sketchy and delerious at this time. I'm only posting this thread to see if someone can explain what mechanism caused me to feel like I was rolling.

So I got really drunk last night camping with people, and i decide to try lithium and see what happens (a dumb drunk decision) as did my friend.

I took 1 pill, idk the dosage.

Idk why or how, but suddenly I began rolling balls. The body high was exactly like the one u get off E, but there was no stimulation, and the high itself was only a fraction of the effects you get off E, but it was awesome nevertheless. Having not rolled in months, this totally brought back the feeling and I realized I even forgot some of the effects from rolling until last night.


After that, the comedown effects were indicative of a drug overdose or bad drug combination. I slept from about 2 am to 7 am (got woken up) passed out at 12:50 pm, woke up at around 7, passed out immediatly after smoking a cigarette and woke up at 3 am (right now) and im prolly gonna pass out again after posting this thread. I feel very wierd and spaced out, and I've been having hallucinations similar to an amphetamine overdose or MDMA comedown. there was also blood in my piss, which means this mixture was bad for the kidneys.



Does anyone know why lithium and alcohol would release so much serotonin?

Why did your friends bring lithium camping? Are you sure you didn't take some sort of speed, pipes, mdxx, etc.? I'm fairly certain lithium's mechanism of action is unknown and it requires time to build up in your brain. I don't see how one pill would be an acute overdose as well since I doubt whoever is prescribed this is supposed to take small amounts of a pill.

No, it was prescribed to one of my friends, so I know it was lithium. It was not speed or anything like speed because there was no stimulation.

Ive read that it decreases norepinephrine and increases serotonin synthesis, which would explain why the "roll" had no stimulatory effect.

It says there are very little psychoactive effects and it takes time to build up, but the alcohol interacted with lithium and caused serotonin to be released at a higher rate, alcohol effects many systems in the brain.

I had blood in my piss probably because I was on so many drugs. I smoked weed, drank, took the lithium, then took seroquel, and then the next morning took ritalin to stay awake (which didn't work at all, I fell right to sleep)
 
^ Blood in your piss? Mate i've taken alot more drugs than that and i've never pissed blood.. you might wanna get that checked out :\

Okay well I don't know how it all interacted then. I'm not surprised but would have expected additional sedation as opposed to huge euphoria. Maybe it also had something to do with the quetiapine and cannabis.

I'll second getting your kidneys worked up by a doc.
 
I'm closing this thread as it has no real HR value and it will not lead to any productive discussion.

The effects you felt could've been an adverse reaction to the two drugs combined.
If there is blood in your urine, you should see your doctor and talk to him/her about it. This can be something serious, so get it checked out.

You can go here to check for drug interactions. You can check virtually ALL drugs and how they interact with one another at that site.
