Fairly simple question.

What can I expect after the actual trip has finished.

I am thinking of taking a sugar cube (first time with psychedelics) on monday, and I have work on wednesday. Will I be normal by wednesday?

Also I will most likely have some ketamine a couple of hours before I take acid, by the time I take acid the ketamine effect wil have worn off but is this a bad mix anyway? Or will I be fine. I think I'll be fine, and I figure if It think that then I will be.;)
 
Man, if you have some K... you should save it.

Not that the combination wouldn't be spectacular--which in my opinion it is--but I would save some for either right after the peak, or the very end of the trip... I find acid to be somewhat intense, and at some points I am really sure of what is going on... and well grounded... but at some points, I am so mindfucked that I don't exist anymore. I would want to go into an acid trip with a clear head, so that I could get a real focus on how acid affects me, before trying it with K.

But I have done K before a trip before with great results... I won't discourage it, as there is no real physical risk involved--but for sciences sake, and being able to get a good gauge of how acid affects you the first time it would be good to wait until you are already there... at which point you may wish you'd have saved it.

And if it's good LSD, you'll be needing that K about 15 hours later.

Wednesday? No sweat! I wouldn't be suprised if you were trying to go to work Tuesday. Acid makes me feel like I can deal with life, sometimes.
 
I've noticed a two sleep rule for me, I won't fell 100% until after two sleeps.
Though after 12 hours you should feel pretty normal. Just a mild afterglow.
 
Yeah, by Wednesday, you should be OK. I went to work the next morning after my first acid trip, although I wouldn´t recommend it. I´d never do it again. For me personally, the comedown from acid is like mental torture for a good 12 hours or so after the "trip" part has finished when I have had a good dose. On a normal dose, it is just a burnt out feeling. Still, give youself a good whack of time before doing too much after your trip, especially your first.
 
I'm generally fine after a good sleep. Acid certainly doesn't have the comedown that something like ecstasy has.

You'll be fine for work on Wednesday.
 
Yeah have one or the other so you can get a feel of whats what. K doesn't really have a come down, although if you move around alot you will have sore muscles.

As for the acid, depending on the strength, you are spending time in your unconcious thoughts so it does take awhile to come back to reality. I had a strong dose and it was like what psy-marshal says, i wouldn't go as far as torture though, but it was bad enough. Your head is all over the place.
 
so depends on quality, I would have to say, a cube can be trash, or a cube can be more powerful than you will ever believe. First time tripper, you really have yet to understand what i mean. i know some do. ask whoever you get it from about the quality, dosage in volved i e ( 1 cube can mean multiple hits), with the way thingas are right now, i doubt its that good at all but i would never make the assumption that you will be fine, under Acid circumstances.
 
Acid doesn't have a comedown, although you will be left in whatever state of mind the trip put you in. Bad trips, if they stay bad the whole time, have left me with a terrible psychological hangover, while good trips have left me refreshed. This is separate from lack of sleep, which can be a major problem since it interferes with sleep for 12-16 hours.

With 24 full hours to recover on Tuesday, you should be fine.
 
i think it' really depends on what is meant here by "come down".

if by come down you mean, well just that the drug effects wane to eventually end yes there is.

if by comedown you mean something like a crash a la speed then well no there isn't.

now the end of an acid trip can be however pretty exhausting, many factors come into play suchas the dose you had, the uqality of your stuff and what kind of trip you had.

harsh trip can sometimes make the waning phase a 12h limbo.

on the other hand good trips can make feel pretty good although a bit drained afterwards.

so i'll put it this way: there is no pharmaclogic porperty of acid on the cns that would cause a comedown (as in the 2nd defnintion of the word) as speed/MDMA do, provided you have a +/- clean stuff.

However there can be syndromes of mental exhaustion, released anxiety and residual overstimulation that can be very uncomfortable.

some ppl here havde advised ket for the landing but i ain't sure this is so much a good idea. I think something like opiates is way better for a soft unthtreatening landing if you still feel somewhat edgy/hyper or caught in negative thought patterns. Opiates can also help with the negative body effects (such as tensiosn and so on).
 
why is it that on your first time doing acid you also want to do k? i think your first time on anything should be just with that substance, just to understand the full effects and see how your body responds... but thats just my opinion
 
i havent had acid yet but shrooms have a come down. it consists of trippy thoughts and exhaustion. i jus feel drained and like i've been through quite a lot. after shrooms i just want to go sleep but it takes a while. i assume acid would be worse cause of the longer duration.
 
Everything has a comedown, its just whether the comedown is bad or not is the thing.

Acid certainly has a comedown, but its nothing like meth or X.

When I am coming down from a hard acid trip...I feel as if I am loosing something. (FYI my trips last about 16 hours) I never feel fried or burned out...even the next day. The next day I feel extremely relaxed mentally and a bit spaced out. My afterglow lasts for 3 weeks...I continue to be mentally relaxed, sensitive, energetic, happy, creative and spaced. I work better during the afterglow phase too. =D I remember after my latest trip when I went to work we were very shorthanded...no problem for me ;)

are you kidding me? no comedown on acid?

All of my acid experiences, once the peak has ended, have left me tweeeaked out. I cant think in coherent sentences or speak in any sort of coherent manner. My attention span is seconds at most and i cant motivate myself to even move most of the time and if i do i end up forgetting what im doing. It feels like i want to just stand up and flail my whole body in the air and spin around

no one else though?
 
acid comedown's are the worst. i'd take the worst coke come down over a high to medium psych comedown anyday. the only exception was my very first psychadelic experience which was with 2 hits. the entire trip including the come down was magical and i enjoyed every second of it. however once it loses it's mystery then they tend to show their dark side. the worst was eating 12 hits entirely by myself, locked in my room. the trip was intense, amazing and mind blowing, unfortunately once the comedown kicked in it turned into hell. a few hours in the mirror yelling at myself, "you're not a man, you're a boy!" "look at your life, you have nothing!", etc. looking at a cluttered room, or an ash tray that's just slightly overfilled and in need of changing will lead me down a path of destructive thoughts that make me feel disgusted with myself. there was a couple of crying episodes too while i was riding it out. there's no doubt that tripping by yourself only fuels it which is how i trip most of the time. it's just important to remember that you are not yourself and things will clear up the next day.
 
^^ I would argue what you and others are describing is not a comedown, it's a bad trip, and/or just not liking acid that much. I've felt bad after acid trips before, but I don't attribute it to some fundamental quality of LSD. I just got into a bad head space, or let the physical "tweakiness" bother me and dominate the trip, and so I had a not so great time.
 
I usually have a period of confusion which lasts until I get a decent sleep. Social interaction becomes awkward, verbalising thoughts is difficult, I often misinterpret situations. I have experienced a percieved buildup of pressure in my head, almost like my brain is being/has been overworked, which isn't pleasant, but nothing too nasty...

I can deal with most activities after a good sleep, although I find myself asking a lot of questions for a good time after...
