LSD and promethazine (phenegran)

[nolys]

Quick question

I have my first dose of acid here which I havnt taken yet, I have no experiance with real psychedelics and I'm wondering that if the acid was a bit too much for me (I know sleep is difficult), would the promethazine be enough to put me to sleep, and is there any adverse reactions that may come from this combo? Also would weed be any help or would it make it worse?

Actually I think this is BDD? If so could a mod move it please, thanks

It might helpyou sleep in the come down but will do little to decrease the intensity of the peak. Promethazine is a very weaak relative of chlorpromazine, the drug given during bad acid trips in the 60's and 70's.

Try not to worry, it won't get too intense, you'll have a great time!

I know I will :D but that's just a precaution, you know, just in case worst comes to worst... Would candyflipping be ok first time too?

As amazing as candy flipping is, you shouldn't do it if you have never tried acid on it's own first.

Promethazine might do a little to calm you if things get to be too much, but off one hit of acid you shouldn't worry. Also, Benzos are better for this situation than promethazine.

I second Will's post. LSD will be magical enough for the first time, in fact it should be for plenty of trips after that before trying a candyflip. I agree it is amazing but you really don't want such a peak experience to happen too soon otherwise it might make other subsequent trips less interesting.
First explore what new things there are for you, I can think of multiple reasons why not to go for the money shot too soon. I am thankful that I didn't find my 'holy grail' psychedelics too soon or tried wild combinations right away. It allowed me to really savor tripping on things that are a little less glorious but still totally worth it.

Benzo's are better I guess but they might also dull an afterglow. If it is possible for you I'd either start tripping early in the day and enjoy the morning and afternoon (and partially outside at least), ór start tripping late at night and skip sleeping. Rest very well in any case but especially if you are going to skip a night. At least you can maintain your rhythm and go to bed at a reasonable hour. Watching the sun rise is spectacular on acid anyway, highly recommended.
You can use promethazine but if you take it too early it might not get you to sleep.

Thanks for the advice. I like what you said in that first paragraph about savouring the lsd on its own first. Ill make sure to leave candyflipping for some other time once I am used to the effects of acid.
