Feeling as if one is getting sick (ie, coming down with cold/flu) while tripping

Last night I took 20mg 2C-T-7.

Overall I enjoyed the experience, but at one point, after smoking some marijuana, which significantly strengthened the until-then-mild effects, i began to feel like I was coming down with a cold or flu. I felt like I was running a slight fever, right down to my face feeling warm. Later, this effect seemed to dissipate. I realize that I hadn't eaten that much yesterday, and after noticing that effect, I ate some food.

I've been feeling not-quite-100% for most of the week - I'm unsure why, whether i was coming down with something, reacting badly to the Aniracetam I took on teusday, wednesday, and thursday (it seemed to make me drowsy, and I wanted to trip on the weekend, so i didn't take it after thursday). But anyway - today I definitely dont' feel like I'm sick, yet i definitely did last night while peaking.

Which leads me to wonder from whence cometh that sick/feverish feeling.
Was it just how I interpreted having not eaten enough that day? Maybe I would have been feeling lightheaded, and mistook that for the feeling of being sick...

Was it purely a drug side-effect? Should I expect that the next time I take it?
Could the drug have increased my body temperature enough for me to interpret it as a fever? If this is a likely explanation, that would seem to council for great caution in any future experiments with this material.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with this or other psychedelics?
 
2C-T-7 is a vasoconstrictor. This can lead to a warm face, aching limbs, headaches etc as well as a spike in systolic blood pressure.
 
I have had several similar experiences whilst coming up on a phen, particularly 2c-e/2c-i/2c-d. Usually when I start to feel the substance's effects I will begin to feel as though I am getting the flu and I will feel nauseus and achy. By the time I am at my peak the nausea seems to go away (sometimes I take ginger gravol to help) and I do not notice the flu-like symptoms anymore. The first few times it happened I also thought that I was coming down with something, but now I just associate it with coming up on a phen. I know that some substances cause an increase in body temperature, although I am not sure if "research chems" do since there hasnt been too much research on them, compared to say, MDMA which is known to increase body temperature. 2c's in general always feel as though they are harder on my body compared to LSD, shrooms, etc so I usually expect to feel some negative body feelings when coming up.

MDMA is a phen lol

but I get your point. given some of the stimulating aspects of the 2c phens though, I do wonder if increased body temp is an effect. I've never really tried gauging that myself while on them
 
Note that this occurred at the peak, around T+5-6 hrs - not during the comeup. Also, to be clear - there wasn't any nausea/etc, just that feverish feeling. .

The comeup was gentle and without any discomfort. I'm familiar with the typical discomfort during the comeup, but I rarely experience it to an extent sufficient to be bothersome.
 
Pretty typical. One of the reasons I never cared for the stuff. Felt quite toxic & "difficult" for the system to handle. Temp swings and flu-like sensations as you. Plus it kinda seemed as if I had some kind of granular metallic particles flowing through my system, taste of metal in my mouth, just generally unpleasant sensations harsh sharp jagged sensations. Decent visuals but the body load made it NOT with it IMO.
 
yup... the come up and come down for PEA's, especially the stronger ones like 2c-t-7 or with bigger doses of easier ones like say 35 mg of 2c-i or a few tenths of mdma can create effects very similar of the flu. Its probably going on during the peak too but im just too high to notice. Gotta figure out if the trip is worth the side effects... Or if theres not a closely related chemical that will treat you better
