LSD felt like I was overheating

[JackJessie]

Tonight I went into quite a panic in my mind that I was overheating, I was extremely red, hot and worried.

I was actually incredibly close to calling for help before my trip partner talked me away from it. This really killed my trip and I then found I couldn't let my partner leave as I was now fearing she could experience this so I had to be with her to make sure she didn't wonder off or do what I was close to doing (calling sober help) she also experienced a difficult trip and I felt overcome with needing to be by myself but yet couldn't let her leave her for fear she would get worse.

Environment was indoors in the house, but id gone into a room that had been baked in sun all day and hadn't had windows opened at all (we were worried about the neighbours) was dancing away feeling amazing, and then bam I started to panic, drink a lot of water, go to a cooler room infront of a fan, but was still feeling like I was gonna pass out or that I needed help.

This was only my 2nd time tripping. My 1st was on my own and a fantastic experience.
My trip partner was 1st time, lack of experience was evident to me tonight.

Anyone ever experience anything like this?

Actually happened on dxm, it was really cold yet i was hot as hell, extremely red in the face. I didn't worry at all and it eventually went way.
However if you are dancing in a hot room with the windows.closed it pretty normal to feel hot and overall not good at all

It's quite likely you were mildly hyperthermic, but it's nothing to worry about with your classic psychedelics. You were freaking yourself out over nothing, and had a psychosomatic worsening of symptoms. Of course, it is summer, and depending on where you live and insulation of your place of residence, it could be have been hot enough to make dancing wear you out really quick.

Actually happened on dxm

DXM really can heat you up a bunch, it is an SRI after all. It's a really pleasant feeling during the winter or on cool nights (when people often take it), at least, IMO

You were just very warm, nothing dangerous as long as you hydrated but otherwise you may get heat exhaustion.
The LSD in this case only exacerbated your feelings of panic and anxiety when you felt way to warm.
There's been many times where similar things have happened to me, such as cold pale hands while on 2ce when it was only due to vasoconstriction

I very often feel overheated on LSD or other psychedelics. Crank dat AC.

Or you could do what I did, and go wading in the ocean at 2AM while tripping balls. That cooled me down in a jiffy. Luckily I had the sense to not try swimming...

Thanks for your responses. Was a powerful lesson and taught me to give the drug the respect it deserves. Why I didn't just take a cool shower I don't know! My thinking had become quite irrational I guess!

LSD makes my sensations hypersensitive. i agree with the idea that your were over thinking that you were overheated. when i start to get anxious on LSD, i usually turn on some music, put on headphones, and try to take your focus to something else for 5-10mins. smoking weed really helps me too, after that my mood changes and i feel spectacular.

i feel like a teenage girl on LSD. i get very manic, i get really happy the the wind is blowing or that the walls are breathing, then if i see someone step on an ant, my world is wrecked lol
