LSD and stomach problems?

[lilyisdancing]

Does anyone else ever feel like they're going to puke when they're tripping? I don't necessarily mean feeling nauseous, because I don't really get nauseous ever, but I feel an urge to puke, if that makes sense.

And I'm strongly emetophobic, and thus will do most anything to AVOID vomiting, so any suggestions to ease that sort of problem would be very appreciated.

i've never felt nauseous or feeling like i'll puke on LSD(altho I have on other psychedelics)
i'd recommend some kind bud, if your not much of a smoker, even a hit will do to calm the nausea
and dont eat anything 12 hours(i do 18 ) before you trip, except maybe a few fruits

I hate vomiting, but the effects you mention about LSD are related to the initial anxiety, I think.

If it's that bad, take 2mg of diazepam about 2 hours before taking the LSD. It will take the edge off the anxiety, but is a low enough dose so as not to detract from the trip.

PS if you really hate vomiting, stay well away from ayahuasca. It can turn into projectile vomiting

both of my friends puked on 3 hits of acid one night, while i held mine in (but i definitely felt like puking). i contribute the nausea to that nasty gassy feeling of LSD.

id also like to note they both went into full fledged peaking after vomiting.

Unless you did something like ate a whole sheet (since paper is undigestible), there is no physical reason for the queasy feeling. Its likely anxiety related...I got the shits once while coming up because of anxiety (that was nasty). Weed will not help with anxiety! If anything it would make you more anxious. Best thing to do is before you drop acid, make sure you're in a relaxed comfortable environment...for me I get nervous before I even take it like if I know I am going to a concert or something...or if its a high dose, cuz I know what's coming I was kind of nervous tripping at a concert this summer and when I went into the bathroom, I got a buzz off the second hand smoke (it was WAY smokey in there LOL) and man I got more nervous and felt like I would puke for while, as soon as I calmed down I was ok.

FYI, weed works well for shroom queasiness.

Hope this helps,

Well there are theoretically reasons to feel quesy, seeing as LSD hits up pretty much every serotonin receptor under the sun (not to mention dopamine receptors) many of which are well linked with emesis... that aside, I tend to get pretty bad body load from LSD, I get the feeling of kinda, cramp in my stomach; not in my abdominal muscles, but it feels like actaully on my stomach, and I also get this weird pain in the back of my throat...

i've never done lsd but every source of information on it lists nausea as a common side effect although vommiting is more rare.

i know this is prob the last thing in the world u would wanna try but drink some beer....

I had the same prob before feeling very nautiuos and a friend said i should drink beer but i wouldnt cuz my stomach was like no.....

Well i later on accidently mistaked beer for water and when i drank the beer my7 stomach felt a thousand times better....

I dont know why it works but it does it everytime.....Plus the alcohol takes away that uneasiness feeling and makes the trip much, much better

Friend told me that any acid that gives real bad nausea is probably a RC.



Never done the 'cid myself..thats all the info i got..

 

[Clockwise]

^That's not necessarily true. It's like BilZ0r said, LSD causes quite a range of sensations. With LSD, I myself get a huge buzz in my stomach and i guess the peripheral NS too, which I guess could under many circumstances turn into vomit-inducing nausea.

I think your friend needs to rethink their attitude personally if they think it's an "RC". I have had LSD trips with terrible accompanying nausia. I personally find that taking ginger helps (there's this Blackmores product in Australia called Travel Calm Ginger which I take), pop 2 of those and tell yourself you'll start feeling better soon. With the combination of ginger (which does have anti-nausia properties), as well as telling yourself you'll feel better soon, the urge to vomit should subside soon enough. Attitude is everything.....

I'm a little bit skeptical my self. Back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's, when LSD was cheap and plentiful, people getting nausea on LSD was rare at best. Sure it happened, but it was rare. I'm not saying it can't be LSD, but you should at least consider the possibility that it isn't, especially if alot of poeple are getting nausea from a given batch.

I clearly remember in the 70's especially! That felling of wanting to get sick, depending on how many ugs of LSD i took.

I notice taking from 100 to 250ugs i was fine. But if i took doses of 4-way window pane or 4-way bolter in the 500 to 800ugs. Then i had to hold back from wanting to get sick.

maybe because it hits you so fast and strong 10min.
cheers

On a very high dose my head my would spin a little bit on the come up. But I really doubt that acid people are doing today is 500 to 800ugs. Its more like 50-100ugs, if its acid at all.

Hopefully LSD will come back like it was in the dayz. Glog

The last time i had it; 4 or 5 years ago, It was of a very tiny black pyramid -window pane 1/8 . with a gold line on it! very potent it was.
I got for or five peeks out of it! But in SF CA the acid was usually always strong!

From all i been reading, i agree with you. Lsd and the people claim to have it, is not or may not be Lsd at all, very dirtly at best. nothing like white fluff, white lighting, orange sunshine tabs ect..

I'd just be happy enough if the LSD sold was reliably LSD, and not 5-meo-amt or something like that, which I keep hearing more stories about. Until then, for sake of harm reduction, people need to skeptical about the LSD they buy, just like they need to be skeptical about MDMA tablets.

I must be a lucky motherfucker...most of the stuff I've had does that with one tiny hit...but then I might just be highly sensitive (and still a lucky bastard). There is good acid still out there...somewhere...but I can't find it right now...

Nah, there is plenty of quality LSD going around, and there has been for the last few years.

If last year's batch of silver or this year's nice batch of lavender isn't clean enough for you, there is still white fluff around. I know because I've tasted it. Yep, it's incredible.

But there's no reason to assume that everyone has bad quality acid or is taking very low doses. I wasn't really into LSD before the 2000 "bust" when things got scarce, but I have no reason to believe that today's lavender/silver/fluff sheets laid to standard spec are any worse than the ones you used to munch on.

...

As for nausea on acid... I do tend to get more nausea on low quality LSD. I have never ingested a research chemical under the impression that it was LSD, nor have I tried 5-meo-AMT in any context to compare, but I can't think of any relatively experienced acid trippers who can't tell the difference between a clean, quality dose of LSD and some dirty stuff.

But even on dirty / weak / crappy / whatever acid nauseau is rare, and most likely related to anxiety like others have said.

I do get stomach tightness on LSD, even on the good stuff. And gas build up which makes my stomach feel uncomfortable sometimes. But I've never puked on LSD and I find that most other psychedelics will give me more nauseau than LSD.

 

[gloggawogga]

Well, I don't want this to blow up into an LSD availability thread, because we really don't discuss that here. I just want people to understand you need to be way more skeptical when buying LSD on the streets nowadays.

 

[satricion]

I've had stomach upsets on acid every time I've had it.

It's not related to anxiety. I generally get either sharp stomach cramps or nausea and the times they happen aren't connected with any feelings of anticipation or anxiety. They seem to be worse the more acid I take, but they're never really too bad.

Occasionally I feel like I'm going to vomit if I eat a big meal while tripping but it passes pretty soon.
