Heavy Sweating on Mushrooms

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right spot (megathread?) but nonetheless.

Every time I take shrooms it seems like I endure heavy sweating. It isn't constant sweating, and I only sweat from my head, but it is very annoying, and I have no way of controlling it. It has come to the point where I have to carry a towel with me every time I trip because I sweat so much, and also have to end up changing my clothes ~3 times because my shoulders are drenched.

I usually eat 2 hours or so before I digest the shrooms - could this effect it?

I also usually get a fair bit of stomach ache whenever I take shrooms, but I don't really mind it too much because I have a strong stomach and never really vomit.

The sweating also comes on and off - I could be heavily sweating one second, but a little later it will stop all together, and there are no signs as to when it will begin again.

Any suggestions for what I can do to help limit the sweat, and, anything that may cause the sweating?

Thanks.
 
Maybe. I never really feel anxiety, only excitement when I trip. Could be the sweating in itself that causes the anxiety?
 
Fan = Awesome.

I've only done 2C-E and 4-AcO-DMT but on both I get random sporadic sweating, which is really annoying and bothersome. I put my fan on and immediately it stops.
 
I get the sweating frequently on shrooms and various other psych's. It isn't something i really get bothered about thoug.. I see it as a part of the trip, like nausea and vomitting on mescaline..

Try to ignore it even though it can be difficult. If you don't use it yet, try a roll-on or deo with an antiperspirant in it.

yeah, I've noticed the sweating when using psychs... more on mushrooms than anything else it seems... as for how i feel about it, I agree with the OP...
 
I sweat more heavily on psychedelics, too, though I'm generally a very warm blooded person. If it's really humid like it has been I find there's kind of a "breaking the seal" type of phenomena at work with it: once it starts in earnest it's hard to stop, even if the place I'm in is just warm and not hot. The only way I've found to stop it is to sit shirtless, by an air conditioner if possible, and keep mopping it up with a towel until I'm cool. It's almost like feeling the sweat on my skin makes me uncomfortable and that stress causes more sweat). Then I can venture back into the warm area and just be comfortable. It's like it's not enough to just lower the temperature a little and don't move around much on psychedelics when it's humid, my body needs to feel cool first, then it finally lowers the amplitude of the signal to sweat.
 
This effect appears to me as well, though i wouldnt call it a disaster. It is usually a phase in the comeup, and goes away as soon as the trip is established, sometimes i get maybe a wave later, if on 2c's.
The most frecuent parts affected are the hands and face. I suspect it has something to do with the general parasymphatetic effects of psychs on me, but havent yet found a cure for it. Not really looking for one either as I m not that bothered by it. I usually just ride it out and if it gets really bad just take a shower when it is done and change clothes. which is always something I find fun to do while tripping.
as for substances... 2c more than shrooms. no sweating on 5meodalt.
 
Call your self lucky every time i mushroom trip yea ill sometimes sweat, but i will always throw up around the come up part. I still trip balls though, its just annoying being that nauseous in the beginning.
