Hallucinating weeks after LSD trip...

I have taken LSD three times now.
The first two times I have take it I woke up the next day perfectly fine and happy.
The third time around though I woke up and felt so out of place.
My head is always warm and weird feeling like there's a demon still in there.
It's been three weeks now and I'm waiting for this to calm down...
Ive been getting small hallucinations here and there. Like the room breathing in and out. Things I can see but just try to ignore. I'm just curious on when this could possibly end?

I really don't plan on living like this for the rest of my life. I just need some good advice at what I should do...It's affecting the way I live quite a bit.
Can acid stay permanent in the brain or the visions that I have been getting?
 
You may have what is called HPPD.. Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder

I suggest getting a stable sleep schedule. Eat good healthy foods. Take your vitamins. And exercise.

And no LSD doesn't stay permanently in your brain.
 
Look up HPPD. Sounds like you may have a moderate case of that. It usually fades after a few weeks or so but for some rare people it can apparently be a permanent condition.
 
Sounds like either a) HPPD or b)purely in your head.

HPPD usually only affects your vision, but it can also cause auditory hallucinations and feelings of disassociation. It will go away in time (mine went away after about three months). Thing is, HPPD is usually associated with long term use (for me it was about 6 months of doing 2ci at least once a week), not with your third trip.

This could also be just psychological. If thats the case, it may go away on its own as you distance yourself chronologically from the trip, or you may have to go to a therapist. LSD has been known to activate dormant mental disorders in people, but it is not known for causing them.

couple questions: this last time, did you have a bad trip? how far apart were these three trips? how much did you take each time? is there any history of mental illness in your family?
 
What can I do about this and how long do you think this will persist?
Will it eventually calm down over time?
 
I did happen to have a bad trip in the beginning it was due to my brother being doped up and scared me half to insanity. Yet, the rest of the trip was fine. It's been three weeks now...and I still feel all weird and what now. The last time I took acid before this third time was about a year ago. I'm 17 now and I believe the only illness in my family would be possibly bio polar.
 
With the little ammount of LSD you have done in your time, it should fade within the month with proper diet and quality lifestyle. Try to fit in some meditation and relaxation time.

Ive done over 30+ times and i still suffer slightly from hppd from day to day. I remember for about a 3 month period it was very over whelming when i smoked marijuana. Similar to what you have been experiencing with the walls breathing and your perception being off. Hence the name Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder , But i havent done LSD in a month and its slowly going away.

Dont worry about it too much, when it happens just try some deep breaking exercises. Hope all works out for you man!
 
Thank you guys it's been very helpful. I just hope everything clears up. I'm a great person so I don't see how it could continue. I stopped smoking weed and I plan on doing it for the rest of the month or possibly the rest of my life if it continues.
 
abstain from all drugs - no weed - no booze - nothing intoxicating... for as long as it takes for you to feel normal again.
 
That happened to me too after doing acid. You'll be fine. Try not to pay too much attention to the visuals and your mind will relearn to ignore them. It's actually more of a case of dealing with the anxiety the visuals cause rather then the visuals themselves. Once you come to terms with it the visuals will disappear relatively soon. The anxiety sort of fuels the visuals.

Also, I smoke daily and my visuals have gone down significantly. Smoking may delay recovery time a little bit but I don't think abstaining is absolutely necessary.
 
The same thing happened to me but I took way more LSD than you, like twenty times more. It went away after a few months. I learned to enjoy it. I like LSD so it was fun to see visual distortions all the time.
 
I've been dealing with stuff like this for the past five years. I was doing acid almost every day for a good eight month period. People who say you can't get addicted to it have never met me. The first time I did it I felt like I had the world in the palm of my hand...I wanted that feeling every day. Then I had the worst trip of my life...nothing was right, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. I remember sending text messages to friends and listening to voicemails from people who called that I wouldn't pick the phone up for. For the first month or two I was literally insane...talking to myself, hearing voices, extreme hallucinations. Vicious, vicious shit really.

Five years ahead, I'm still disconnected. The only thing that makes me feel better is playing in my bands and playing shows in front of crowds. I still hallucinate daily, but I try to block it out the best I can. Nothing is fun, nothing gets me excited, I'm always stuck in the same frame of mind 24/7. The first few months sparked me to get back into opiates heavily and I've been stuck here since.

I hope it passes for you. It's dissipated over time for me, but is still there, but where you haven't done all that much, I'm certain it will fade over time. Sleep, a good diet, and understanding people are a must in your life.
 
I've had what you described happen after taking LSD. Either just learn to enjoy it and live with it, or else abstain from all psychedelics including herb for awhile like half a year or a year and it will go away.
 
i agree with that post. when i smoked pot it got even worse, and i felt like i was tripping on acid, visually and mentally.

i've learned to live with it, but i can tell i'm still not right. i'm stuck in the same frame of mind, nothing excites me, surprises me, makes me nervous or anxious...it sucks. i think i damaged something in my brain. severely.
 
Four string that's really shitty man :(

I feel like I go into that type of frame of mind in the winter a lot, I take lots of psychedelics in the summer time and the head change carries over into the depressing cold seasons driving me crazy...
 
I've been dealing with it for the better part of six years now. It's no one's fault but my own. I did a lot of acid in way too short of a time span. I just wanted the feeling that I got the first time. I found myself the first time I dropped. I made some great decisions that impacted my life in a very positive manner. I really did get my life on track that day. Everything just fell into place, it was like a miracle drug. I had unreal realizations, and everything just seemed so simple and couldn't believe I couldn't formulate the thought processes I had gained that day. The world truly was in the palm of my hand.

But I kept on chasing that feeling, and doing acid every day for months just wasn't the right thing to do. What really started to mess with me was when I went to see The Shining in a movie theater for my first time. I never saw the shining before that, and seeing it in a movie theater while tripping on some bomb acid probably wasnt the smartest move.

Therapists and psychologists have had field days with me picking my brain, telling me I have a brilliant mind, and to deal with the trauma I have experienced both related to acid and not, is nothing short of incredible. I've been told I could be considered legally insane, but my method of coping with my problems just astounds them.

Because of all this, I haven't done acid since I was 19. I'm turning 25 in a couple of days. the only gripe i have with acid, is I believe it should only be done once- in the right frame of mind, and with the right kinds of people who won't try to fuck with you. I was surrounded a few times with people who would just fuck with me, and make me paranoid, but I couldnt find the words to communicate back, and let them know I knew what they were doing...I started to draw blanks. My personality has changed greatly because of the drug, and through the psychosis I had experienced because of the drug, I turned to heroin full time because it just made everything stop. I was doing opiates since I was 10 or 11, and got back into it real hardcore when i was 19 because of the trip.

I still struggle with the side effects from all the acid I ingested day to day, and I don't think it's going to get any better than it is right now. I tried all kinds of anti depressants and bi polar meds and anti psychotics, but nothing has had an effect on me. I think I damaged some receptors in my brain if no medication will work on me. C'est la vie.
