Is there a way to undo an active trip?

I'm not sure that you can stop a trip to be honest but if it is going bad there are a few things that you can do.

Try and get to a quiet place and just relax, put some soft music on in the background that you enjoy listening to that puts you in a good mood normally. If you have some benzos to hand I think that would be a good idea, a couple of valiums would be ideal I think.

If you want to chat and keep your mind off things feel free to PM me, I will be up for a while.
 
^ all good advice.

If things were really bad, a doctor might give an antipsychotic, but that would involve going to hospital. The best thing generally is to stay in a safe, comfortable place, with people you trust, and a benzo or two on hand..
 
Time is the best antidote. In hospital settings an antipsychotic that works on 5-HT2a would be employed, probably alongside a benzodiazepine like Valium. This is for classical psychedelic overdose (LSD, mushrooms, mescaline, 2c-*, tryptamines and friends). Dissociatives like MXE/DXM should be waited out.
 
Chlorpromazine for LSD is the know treatment as far as I know or as Effie says another antipsychotic

I have no idea if it actually works though or even of thats what you would get if you went to A&E.

IMO your best to work through this the uncomforable feelings will pass and you will be stronger for it, hang in there its all just part of the ride ;)

Just get yourself a benzo or an anti-psychotic. Problem solved. If neither are available, then time is your only option.
 
Hope it all worked out Flyinghighgirl, couldn't get your post out of my mind all night, sometimes when a trip (LSD which I think we all assumed was what you had taken) gets a little scary the panic can set in.

I appreciate (I really do) thats its unlikely you'll be unable to explain what was going on with you at the time you clearly wanted out, but drop a post when you can and let us know your OK now, you may need to take some time to integrate the experience and feel a bit weird for a few days, I don't know how experienced you are with psychedelics. This is quite normal try not to understand the experience in too much detail its a bit like trying to make sense of a dream your perception was altered and some things will now be beyond your conscious grasp.

Best Wishes
 
lol...reminds me of the day after the first time i tripped...

I was sitting in my car on break at work or just before work. I hit my pipe, and I dunno if the weed kicked it in for a little bit or what, but I just remember having this huge epiphany about how the world works:

"WTF?! ALL WE DO IS BUY, SELL, CONSUME, FUCK, SLEEP, REPEAT! IT'S UTTER HORSESHIT! WHY DO WE EVEN EXIST?!?!?"

and I'm not sure what you meant about the mirrors thing...but a strobe light, a ceiling fan, and death metal were always bad ass when trippin. The shadows off of the fan were just insane and the music just kind of made it look sinister lol.

But yes, I do hope that you were able to get your trip under control. I know how not fun it is to be on something and have the experience hit the fan. It just turns you into an anxious, timid, neurotic, jumpy, schitzzed out loony lol.

Terence McKenna RIP - I find his writings and recorded lectures fascinating, he clearly had some view of "the wiring under the board"

Probably my favorite quote of his is:-

If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.


He was the Leary of our time but certainly in the UK never got the recognition for his work, I post this up because spending some time listening to and reading his work can often help in integrating psychedelic experiences back into your "normal" state of perception.

When I was on a balls scary trip (my first and more than likely last one), I found xanax to be the cure. It relaxed me enough to where I was able to fall asleep but I did have some very vivid dreams. Next time you plan to trip, keep an anti-anxiety med on hand just in case it too is not pleasant for you. Breathing exercises work well too. It gives you something to focus on and helps to "lessen" it, but there is no real way to just undo a trip, at least at home.
