Dramamine - First Time - Title Here
First off, the reason I'm posting this is that people keep telling me they've heard they can take dramamine and it's just like acid! So, insted of telling them why this is wrong over and over I'm just gonna post this here so I can direct them to this thread.
This occured when I was about 16, so three years ago or so. Anyway, I had gotton in a fight with my parents and gotton kicked out of the house. So, considering I had no where to go I walked up to the local shopping center and stole a package of Dramamine.
Took the pills, I think it was 10, and sat around behind a post office (my designated sleeping area for the night). It was around 1am. Nothing really noticable for about an hour, then I just began having to pee alot, and being VERY thirsty, kept walking over to the grocery store to use their bathroom. Now, the thing about Dramamine is that you don't really KNOW if your hallucinating or not, you can tell yourself that you'll obviously be able to tell if something is happening or not, but you really can't.
So, I begin getting very tired, I feel like I weigh 10x as much as I do, constantly drinking water and scourging the ash trays for ciggarette butts. I got to a point where I began feeling like I would die if I didn't keep smoking, whenever I smoked I felt sort of awake again, but if I didn't smoke for a little while I began getting so tired and heavy and my chest hurt.
Ok, so basically the above occured over the entire time of this experience, the tiredness and smoking, and thirst. Anyway, I'm sitting behind this post office and I keep seeing a person's head through the window. Throughout this entire time, whenever I came back to the post office I would see this head, and get scared then realize it wasn't a head.
I layed down and just looked up at the sky, at the time I remember thinking, "Well, I guess I'm hallucinating.. right?" cause I kept just thinking I had saw something then upon inspection it wasn't there. Right around the time I'm wondering if I'm going to hallucinate at all, I hear a VERY loud siren start, like the old WW2 bombing raid sirens, whining over and over.
So, I get up and look across the street to where I think it's coming from. There's a preschool over there, it looks normal so I'm thinking, "What in the HELL is that noise?" then I see an old looking fire truck driving down the street backwards, I'm sitting there staring at it wondering if I"m hallucinating or just witnessing the wirdest thing I've ever seen, it keeps driving backwards until I can't see it anymore and the sound stops.
As I'm sitting there wondering if what I just saw was real or not, I decide to go walk back to the store for some water. As I'm walking back to the post office around the back side of the shopping center, this truck drives by and there are three guys in it, and they're all screaming that they're gonna kick my ass, kill me, ect. ect. So, not wanting to start running around at 3am screaming for help for something that may not be real, I just keep walking normally. The truck speeds off then comes back again, it passes me then slams on the brakes, and backs up. Deciding at this point that what I'm seeing must definatley be real, I cut through the back of the shopping center into a bunch of bushes. The truck is in the street, backing up, driving all over in oncoming lanes and such, then it takes off again.
So, I head back to my post office retreat. Looking up in the sky I see what must have been 4 or 5 eagles flying around very high up, I stare at them for awhile wondering if this is real or not too. Then I decide I'm thirsty again, and I start heading back to where I came from not 5 minutes ago. I see LOTS of police cars in the parking lot, only I notice they have no lights on top, just the black/white coloring and the county writing and such. As I try to focus on them, I can't read the writing well enough to tell what it says.
I keep walking, looking out the corner of my eye hoping to read what it says on all these cars without a cop realizing I'm looking at him. Then all the sudden this guy who I met a long time ago drives up, I'm VERY hesitant to say anything to him because I don't want these cops to see me talking to no one, so before I even acknoldge he's sitting there in front of me, I walk up to the car and lean through the window, grabbing it so I know it's actually there. I tell him about how I got kicked out and stuff, but not about the dramaine.
He takes off and I get my drink of water and decide I shouldn't stay in this place if there's the possibility there's all these cops here. I walk back to my neighborhood and after about 5 minutes of walking, I see my shadow turn into a vague representation of the grim reaper and out of the corner of my eye I can see the tip of a sickle, so I spin around as fast as I can swinging my arms (makes me proud now that I know I would attack the grim reaper if he ever tried to sneak up on me) but of course, there's nothing there.
I keep walking towards my house, every few minutes getting the same image of the grim reaper behind me, and the first couple times I continue spinning around expecting to have to kill him with my bare hands. Was very frightning at the time. After a couple times of doing this, I stop turning around as I realize people in my neighborhood might be looking out their windows wondering what the hell I'm doing.
I finally get to my house, of course the doors are all locked, all windows locked. As I go up to the front door I look in through the window it is COMPLETLEY black, can't see a single thing, so I look closer and as I put my face up to the window my reflection finally catches my eye and I think it's someone on the other side staring back at me. This scares the shit out of me for a couple seconds, then I go and lay in my drive way, looking up at the eagles again.
After awhile, I realize I shouldn't be laying in my drive way at 5am so I head back to the store, I see the truck from earlier pull up and I start thinking, "So, it wasn't fake.. I'm gonna get my ass kicked now" and it pulls into a parking spot, the three guys get out, not so much as looking at me, and begin walking into the store.
I went back to the post office and layed there, deciding I have had enough guessing of what reality is at this point, and I will continue laying here until the sun comes up and then I'll go home and talk my way back into the house. Dig into my pockets through the 25 or so refrys I had picked up throughout the night, smoking them one after another, dying of thirst.
I pass the remaining hour or so by looking up at the stars and watching them change from one star into two, then three, forming a triangle, then watching as lines connect the stars to show the triangle, then closing and reopening my eyes and watching it happen all over again.
In short, the ONLY thing I got out of this experience is learning how I react in situations where I'm very scared. Kinda like how when your in a dark room and you feel like someone else is there, but you turn on the light and it's empty, only when I turned on the light there was someone there for a second. Dramamine is NOT acid, it is nothing like acid, I've done acid before and I can tell you from experience, it's really completley different.
