LSD (and other psychs) and blood pressure/heart rate?

[sheekle]

Whenever I do LSD i get a sometimes annoying/distracting increase in blood pressure, heart rate/palipations, and general tightness. Is there any practical way to combat this?

Would niacin or magnesium be notably effective at treating these symptoms at doses of 50-250mg and 250-550mg respectively, along with stretching/exercise earlier in the day (and more stretching right before a trip)? I'm thinking the answer to these is yes, are there any more tips to combat these vasoconstrictive side effects? Usually walking around is very effective for this type of thing but at the same time sometimes I just wanna sit or lay when on a trip and these side effects can be distracting at times.


Thanks again, input is appreciated

I usually pop a kpin during my trip. My heart rate will skyrocket sometimes and I just get over-anxious. A single dose of any benzo would help. I've done it during my mushroom and LSD trip.

Notice that you only get these effects some of the time. In the case of LSD, most of these CNS effects are precipitated mentally, and the user becomes overly aware of the sensations which often exacerbates the anxiety even further. 500mg of magnesium 20 minutes before the trip should help. Other psychedelics are different, such as in the case of phenethylamine derivatives, where the supplementation you mentioned would be even more necessary. The type of trip you manifest is almost entirely dependent on the 'come up' phase, as well as set/setting, and activities prior to the session. Real, unadulterated LSD-25 often has little to no effects on the body but it is very common for people to experience jaw clenching and a body load just due to their regular state of health becoming more apparent as well as mental manifestations becoming much more defined.
