how to counter LSD's energetic feelings

I first did LSD on Sunday and I liked it except for the energetic portion of it. It was like someone pumped me full of methamphetamine or something. I couldn't sit still for the life of me and it felt like I was trembling with energy from the inside. Is there anyway to counteract these feelings without the use of benzos seeing as how they would kill the trip and without marijuana because I tend to get anxiety from it and don't want to have a bad trip.
 
shit man, i dig the energy.
depending on when i take it it gets old at around the 8 hour mark though.
if i ate tabs at 6 pm i wouldn't sleep until like 8am the next morning.

i think that to dull the energy you'd pretty much have to dull down the trip, although nitrous would slow things down for a little while and make you trip harder. benzos would be a good option on the comedown.
 
I've never had anything approaching amphetamine energy on acid. It often keeps me perky and alert but can also feel almost sedating sometimes - certainly very mellow. Maybe some batches are somehow speedier than others but however energetic it gets it never comes close to stim-type energy levels for me - strong coffee levels at best. Maybe I'm just a naturally lazy git and it emphasises that though ;)

Obvious question, but are you sure it wasn't DOx?
 
^ No offense to you but posts like this always crack me up. What does that mean? Maybe you could elaborate a bit.

It may have been DOx but the guy was also selling DOC so I don't know why he'd sell something under a different name when he's already selling it.

I don't know, I really only felt uncomfortable from the energy when I was coming up, but once I got to my peak I was able to lay down and stare at the sky.

Just wondering also, how energetic is DOC? I'm planning to take that for tomorrow at a Mars Volta concert if I can't get acid. Should be a blast ;)
 
Dunno about DOC cos I've never sampled it, but every psyche I've encountered can be a bit rough on the comeup and acid is no different. Sometimes that roughness comes out in overstimulation and acid has nothing on the more phetty psyches in that respect :|

It's not about countering the energy, it's about learning how to channel and focus it...

I actually agree with this to some extent... your body/mind is always in a flow of energy/information/activity, at least it is what we are conscious of so it's probably ok to say it's equal to your brain activity.
LSD expands the mind and increases activity and a clear strong flow of this life energy. It might all sound new agey but I think it holds at least a metaphorical truth. This seems to be the kind of language the LSD experience relates to, very metaphysical. Metaphysics often is a little dissociated from our daily lives, but it's also pure I guess...

Well anyway the LSD could be said to either increase the energy flow or the awareness of it, probably both - it's like you discover you're "in" this body/mind and normally much of the control is on autopilot. When you expand your consciousness though many unconscious things are brought into the conscious part. And then with great power comes great responsibility lol. In this awesome vessel in life you suddenly realize how much happens beyond your control and it's hard to learn how to use this state so fast and sudden.

Which is why you have to learn how to channel it, should be obvious why that is better than trying to 'counter' anything thereby denying part of the trip. Learning to deal with so many aspects of life is a long-term investment so you can do without any countering agents in the future...
Meditation sure does help with the channeling I can vouch for that! :D
 
because the only people i know who are into pschedelics are lazy pieces of shit (harsh I know, but it bugs me) and never want to walk around and explore the world and would rather sit inside and watch tv while tripping.

Umm, you didn't have LSD. LSD does give you energy but it's NOTHING like methamphetamine.

So from your description I'm guessing you got DOx'ed.

Possibly DOB or DOM?

Good LSD provides a very natural energy and you'll be able to sit still even.

did it taste bitter to you?

LSD has always had an energy component to it for me, but its not so much there in a pushy kind of way....

DOM had me all over the place.... DOx are amphetamine psychedelics so it makes sense....
 
i'm ruling out DOx because the duration was quite short...i was able to fall asleep 12 hours afterwords and the visuals pretty much stopped at 7 hours.

i can't really say it was like methamphetamine....i've never tried that...all i'm saying is that i had a lot of energy.
 
I can relate to this. I get it on most psychedelics to some degree. Not so much the "can't sit still" kind of energy but more of a tension that manifests itself as tension headaches, jaw clenching, GI distress, that kind of stuff.

I find it has everything to do with Set. Some trips are smooth as silk without much of that stuff while others are dominated by it. All that chakra/energy flow hippy mumbo jumbo does feel like it holds some truth in this case. When a trip is smooth it feels like everything is aligned and flowing along smoothly. When the set isn't quite right and there's a tension in your mind, it gets amplified.

My advice; embrace the energy, surrender to it, work through it. It could bring on one of the best trips you ever have.
 
I've taken DOB, DOC, DOI, and DOM before and they all have varying stimulant like effects (personally DOI and DOB the most... DOC was managable and DOM wasn't bad at all at the dose I took it at)

LSD gives me loads of energy... but it's energy that just needs to be channeled into an activity. It certainly isn't a sit around kind of drug. Go to a park, explore nature, analyze societal constructs, go to the mall... do anything on it really. That energy that is flowing through your chakras and bursting rainbow energy from your fingertips and skull is all workable. Once you are channeling your energy into an activity you become comfortable and content doing it. When you start getting that buzzing that you have to go do something else, follow it and see where it will take you. It's your mind manifesting itself into physical uncomfortable energy to move you to do something productive.

My $.02 anyways.

Best of wishes and much love to you my friend.

P.S. DOC and DOM can be confused with LSD for the timeline (Although DOM does last longer) If it wasn't bitter however, I would still be inclined to believe it is good ole Lucy... and just because he is also selling DOC doesn't mean he may not sell DOC as LSD to those who may not know what DOC is or be interested in it because DOC is the DOx most like L.

I think acid has that effect the first time you take a big dose - but the more often you take it the less you notice those amphetamine type feelings and it becomes a beautiful bodyhigh.

What? I can lay down on my bed with my eyes closed for hours on good LSD. It's awesome.
 
Yeah well, both can be true for me: it's like a big powersource is radiating from within me and if I pay too little attention to it it can turn into anxiety like some drugs tend to do a lot more, then you get uncomfortable and the activity mentioned is then either a way to distract yourself or project a destination for the energy.
But I can also lay down and just let it flow like that, but the energy still pours out only in more of a mental way then a physical. It can get intensely trippy and dissociative like that, also meditative I keep repeating myself... but it's not strange at all that way that it can be physically immensely peaceful as well as roughly surging.
