I've stopped liking nitrous, not sure why

Hi,

I've always liked n2o in the past but recently its been freaking me out a bit. I normally have it on acid or MDMA. The actual rush is great but the re-integration in to reality is horrible. The best way I can describe it is like being very quickly being thrown back in to reality but with the possibility of ending up in other ones (mostly negative) lots of "this can be different or this can be different instead but youve got to choose fast and there will be consequences". Normally two completly random things seems connected and with much darker new meanings. Imagine having to go through a mental maze really quickly in order to get back to reality. Obviously I'm always fine afterwards but the process isn't very enjoyable.

From third party accounts I blink alot and look very uncomfortable. It has been suggested that this is all because I do balloons with my eyes open. From what I can remember I've always done this. I tried doing one with my eyes shut whilst tripping last night but I ended up opening them at some point. This was better but still ended the same way (possibly because I opened my eyes.)

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Got any tips?

Thanks,

Joe
 
I don't much like using nitrous because it makes me feel like my head is going to float away.

Just remember that any "dark connectuions" between random events are just in your thoughts, and have very little basis in reality. Dissociatives have a shitty way of making your mind connect different aspects of reality and make something meaningful out of them, like some story or narrative that describes your situation in existence. I have very much gone off dissociatives for this reason, because whereas psychedelics make me mindful and able to see things in a holistic light, dissociatives make me mindless. Especially the more manic variaties, which promote trains of thought that completely skew off a tangent from your center, leading you down rabbit holes which, if you don't keep in check, you succumb to believing.

Nitrous isnt as bad as some dissociatives in this regard, but I suppose combined with MDMA or acid it could get pretty confusing. Just remember that it's mostly delusion. If you don't enjoy it anymore though, you might want to rethink why you feel compelled to keep using it. Try tripping on MDMA or LSD without using N2O and see if you enjoy the trip better.
 
i've never tried nitrous on a psychedelic but I've seen people do inhalants on cid and I think that nitrous and a bunch of other inhalants produce an intense rush and a feeling of EUREKA like you just found out something really meaningful but then its lost once actual logic gets kicked back in.
 
If I use nitrous too frequently I feel very dirty. Saving it for special occasions and I feel fucking fantastic and cleansed after using it.
 
I remember my first bad whippit... I was towards the end of a roll and I had just smoked a bowl. I held a deep charge for a long time and after the effects wore off I started having weird thoughts and I lost track of all time and reality and thought that I had been fucked up in nitrous-land for the past four hours. It freaked me out and I laid off for awhile until I started managing my reality reintegration a little better. I am better now at forgetting about those dark connections and waiting for the nitrous to fully wear off.
 
Nitrous can be amazing but also quite sinister in my experience. It seems to go completely one way or the other for me, usually it's fantastic, mixed with MDxx type drugs and psychedelics. I do find though that on psych's it can go the sinister route more often.

I don't know if it's just me, but it definitely depends on what music I'm listening to during the nos trip. If I'm at a party and others are choosing the music it can be a little like Russian Roulette! You never know if the track being picked will produce a wonderful nos high or not be agreeable and turn dark and menacing. When I trip alone I can pick my own music which is a big plus. Sometimes I still pick tracks that somehow the nos does not like though, even if I like the track personally myself. Very strange
 
I think I've used just about every drug and in just about every way, and I've had to stop several because the high went bad. I agree with DC710 alot of it had
to do with my environment when I was high, and it seems like once you have a negative experience using something it keeps happening. Usually what I do is lay off for a little while, a couple weeks or a month and if I'm in a positive environment the next time it's ok. I don't know but I guess for me it's all mental and once I have a bad trip it just leads to more until I'm able to truely use with a clear and positive mind and I'm not worrying about or remembering the bad trip.
 
nitrous gives you the ability to extend time, and if harnessed correctly you can observe it skip. Can lead to some quite profound experiences in my uses, with mdma/k/lsd anything psychoactive really. Those reintegrations back into reality can be rather harsh especially with psychadelics. Its quite a marvel to observe time in that fashion though, embrace those moments of clarity when you get them. Its a shame but the hippie crack name is truly fitting for this one.
 
I stopped consuming nitrous with psychs initially because it was such a mind fuck after the comfort. I used to love it and then the soft warm feeling went away and it was like a cold, barren waste land. I can totally relate to your experience.
 
Thanks for all of the advice. I'm gonna try another balloon this weekend (probably on MDMA) and I'll bare all of this in mind. I think that a lot of it is forgetting what to expect from nitrous (I actually wrote "remember how balloons work!" on my old dispenser.)

I'll let you know how it goes,

Joe
