I was hoping I could come here to get people's thoughts on a very strange experience I had a few days ago. I was on relatively small doses (10mg oxycodone, 30-60mg ketamine) and I had only a few hours of sleep that night. I sat on my bed and began scrolling on my phone in a complete stupor. At first, I noticed I could see faces in the patterns across the room, which was a little unsettling. Then the hallucinations took on a more delirious character. Piles of my clothes became figures staring at me. I remember vividly seeing the hat man walk across my room. Thinking back on it, it seems extremely frightening, but I somehow was not scared in the moment. Seeing the hat man for the first time felt like finally meeting a celebrity. It felt completely real, although I remained aware rationally that it was not.
What could have caused such a reaction? I have used similar combinations a few times, but without the mild sleep deprivation, I did not become so delirious.
On many drugs and psychedelics, I quickly become paranoid. For example, very frequently on LSD, if I close my eyes for too long, I feel an overwhelming fear that a figure will come rushing towards me while I can not see it. I remain aware that I am being totally irrational, but it does not change anything. It's like being afraid of monsters under your bed when you were younger.
I have noticed that I have a low threshold to become mildly delirious on THC—it takes me a small dose before I start misinterpreting my peripheral vision completely and having vivid auditory hallucinations. This effect is potentiated by amphetamine, which could indicate a psychotic mechanism, as amphetamine causes dopamine release.
In this case, I was obviously experiencing euphoria from the drugs which overcame some fear, but I still find that I usually can feel dysphoria on these drugs, whereas in this case, it felt more like a stupor where nothing could scare me. Could signs like these be an indication that I am predisposed to psychosis?
