Sorry to hikack this thread but I didnt want to make another one since there are already a few threads on candyflipping, but I could use some advice. I have extensive experience with MDMA, but have only taken acid once, a few weeks back. The trip started out brilliantly, I dropped while walking home and I was walking around with a stupid grin on my face, everything looked beautiful and wild. Then I got home, and the change of scenery seemed to change my mood completely. The real turning point was when I looked in the mirror and suddenly realised how mood-driven trips are, and how easily this could turn into a profoundly frightening experience.
After that, the fear kicked in and didn't leave until about five hours after the initial dose, when I decided to take a walk outside and watch the sunrise. This brought me out of the tight knot of anxiety I had been in and revived the grin I wore at the start, but I couldn't totally shake the tension. Thing is, in the peak moments, I felt a powerful egolessness and sense of infinity and beauty that, without the anxiety, I feel might have been a ++++ experience.
So I'm planning to trip again at some point, to see if I can conquer the anxiety, and I'm wondering if taking a little MDMA before the LSD could calm me down (I'm quite an anxious person anyway, and I always feel calm and safe on MDMA) and ease me into the trip, and then after the peak, drop a little more to ride out the acid comedown. I have quite a high tolerance, so I'd be looking at taking maybe .1 before, and then the rest of a half-gram after, spread out in .1 or .2 doses.
Any thoughts / advice?
Edit: I also have access to pharma opioids like Tramadol. Would that opiate warm-blanket-of-calm be a possible aid too?
