LSD - really uncomfortable body load

I've only tried lsd four times. The first three were very weak tabs. I experienced no visuals...no huge mental alteration. I just felt very drunk/stoned/giddy. I did however get quite an uncomfortable body load with each experience (nausea, muscle cramps, muscle tightness etc and stomach upset on the comedown). But like the high..the body load was also quite weak and I could generally ignore it.

Now yesterday I had a much stronger tab (well, the strongest I've had anyway!). I'm still not totally straight...but I've felt like I havent been able to properly enjoy the trip because of the massively uncomfortable body load. The physical sensations have been the same as above plus throat tightness/dryness (feels like I've smoked 60 fags! - I havent) and loads of throat congestion. My body all the way through the high has generally felt rubbish..like I've just swam 100 laps or something, generally worn out but massively restless/agitated/surging with adrenaline at the same time.

I've had lots of positive effects with the above high also..giddyness, really good visuals..massive perception changes..mixed up senses etc but just havent been able to relax and get into it as my bodys felt so uncomfotable! Is this typical of LSD? I'm thinking either it just doesnt agree with me personally or ive had dodgy tabs. Is there anything you can do to reduce the body load for future reference?
 
Hmm. Could possibly be some kind of DOx blotter. When yesterday did you eat the doses? If it was a considerably long trip + huge body load it sounds reminiscent of some kind of DOx. LSD does however have a stimulating effect that can prevent sleep rest during the afterglow, but IME it doesn't have a significant body load.
 
Moving around can help with the muscle tension. For me, low doses of LSD are ok for sitting down, but on high doses I need to walk, dance, keep moving. Sometimes on a high dose you can focus in on your body to the point where it feels unbearable, try instead to focus outward, your body might cease to exist.
 
I never noticed LSD to have much of a bodyload; and definatly not an unpleasant one. The tightness however I do understand, as other people above mentioned LSD is a bit stimulating; causing insomnia in the late come down and maybe some muscle tightness; walking around and using that energy makes it much more comfortable; especially in my earlier trips it seemed a bit neccisairy; now I don't mind as much.
 
i bought some 5-meo-amt to discover if what most of the acid floating around my town was.
And to my surprise. 3/5 different forms of LSD going around my town.
All felt like 5-meo-amt.

a Churning gut rot, vomiting, half of the people who took them developed headaches...


I've done 5-meo-amt 3.5mg - 7.5mg, and every time i've done it i have experienced nothing except.... just awfulness. Bland boring Awfulness
 
Really? 3/5? I didn't think 5-meo-AMT was THAT common.

I'm pretty sure I was given 5-meo-AMT as LSD one time because it caused me to throw up for 7+hours and gave me a huge headache. I also was extremely stimulated and had some bad lockjaw. That really sucked. Next time I taste anything THAT bitter on a blotter I will immediately spit it out.
 
Body-load can be caused by impure LSD but it depends on the extent of the uncomfortable feeling. When I was not that experienced with it, there was some psychosomatic anxiety that caused a really tense feeling in my body sometimes. Now I don't get it as much.
It's relatively normal for me on a higher dose of LSD to have sore tendons/sinews and nerves when I try to go to sleep. It can feel like they are burning a little and they are electrically charged.

Now, DOX is a possibility but it doesn't necessarily give that much of a bodyload. Would depend on the dose and DOX as well...

I think that there is a huge difference between clean acid and (somewhat) dirty acid. Just find some new tabs and you might want to get a test kit to check for DOX.

I don't think I've ever heard 5-MeO-AMT mentioned by anyone of my friends, people I know and contacts. Very strange, the market sounds so different where a lot of other people live, with DOX and alpha,O - never known people who wanted to rip off others so bad.
 
Sometimes you can't avoid bodyload.. if you wish to explore the vast corridors of the mind the you better make sure you atleast accept the fact you aren't going to feel 100% comfortable 100% of the time.. infact alot of the time you are going to feel realllly damn strange.. alien.. weird.. contorted.. and terrified.

But on the flip side you'll feel the exact opposite alot of the time too.

Just depends on which bits you focus on. (they are still there)

Like in life you don't look back at all the bad times or you'd think life was rubbish but you sure as hell appreciate them, makes things more interesting and worthwhile as well when they go well.

Sorry, but what's alpha,O? Never heard of that one before. Is it a tryptamine? Phenethylamine?
 
^5-MeO-aMT

LSD is a stronger vasoconstrictor than psilocybin or mescaline apparently. I just typed in "LSD vasoconstrictor" and this old human umbilical cord study turned up: http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/184/2/366.abstract

They think it causes the constriction by binding to serotonin receptors in the cord; psychedelics that cause nausea bind to 5-HT3 receptors receptors in the stomach, or so the theory goes, so something similar with receptor binding may be happening there. I assume they were using pure LSD, too. I think some people's physiology just won't tolerate it. I've always gotten muscle tension, stomach rumblings and mucus production from it, despite having had a wide range of LSD samples over the years, but it's never been that bad. Strangely, at higher doses these side effects seem to be reduced.

Why don't you literally go stick it up your ass? You'll avoid the stomach issues at least, or most of the direct contact between the LSD and the receptors anyways - though some may still hit the receptors as it travels in blood around your body. A friend uses muscle relaxers when he trips because of the tension issue. You could just try a low dose of alcohol or some ibuprofen though. Small doses of alcohol shouldn't cloud the trip too much, and may even help you to open up to LSD's emotional side.

There could be a few causes of why your feeling so shitty. we cant all jump to the fact that its not LSD because ive experienced bodyload plenty of times on LSD and it is usually due to a low dose, higher doses seem to drown out any negative physical symptoms for me except sometimes I get really got and I mean like dripping sweat, I get this on a lot of drugs though.
Alot of people claim that smaller doses of acid can feel quite speedy and sometimes uncomfortable, I always get the feeling at the base of your neck like your head os too heavy for your body therefore causing strain around that are, im not too sure why this happens. Though people get a range of body load symptoms....Actually not to derail the thread but if people could describe what the average body load feels like to them id be interested to hear.

the other reasons you could be feeling the way you are is it could possibly not be LSD though by the way you describe your trips it sounds like it is LSD or at least something similar. Quite a few people have been passing off blotters with LSA(or it might just be similar compounds) which feels quite different to LSD and has more potential for unwanted side effects. Its could be one of the DOx drugs or even 5-MeO-AMT but I just think your LSD has degraded like all LSD does at some point. LSD degrades into another form of inactive LSD. The LSD we use and get psychedelic effects from is LSD-25(to my knowledge there are quite a few compounds in the LSD family though none or few have effect) the LSD-25 degrades into some other kind of LSD, the name of it is on the tip of my tongue but I know this can cause uncomfort.

So people, keep your acid in a place where the degradation is minimal like a fridge or dark cool cabinet. If you leave it in the sun, heat or many other acid destroying elements you will succumb to the unwanted and unfortunate degradation of your LSD.

Hope I put some insight into your situation :)
 
this topic is intresting to me becuz 1 time i had too much drops of weak acid and i was new to the thing and took them by mistake

i ended up in the hospital and i didnt feel my body i was always sure that im gonna swallow my tounge so i started to lick everything that i could including my girlfreidn and the nurse and i couldnt feel my legs and upwards so when i needed to pee i couldnt feel anything so they helpd me with a bottle and when i actully peed it burned like fire from hell and i couldnt stop screaming and it was so awful i was there with my mom dad and girlfriend who didnt knew that im using that thing and it was the worst day of my life

the trip was 24 hours long and only after 10 hours i could actully move and talk and enjoy the trip altough it was not so pleasent beeing triping in the hospital in front of ur parents and gf

2 weeks ago i took 1 avarage drop and it was really intense and had similarity to that day in the hospital and i was at work so the set and settings was bad
i could control my body however and survived that day

few days ago i took half drop of the same thing and it was great with no hard body feeling at all

This does NOT sound like LSD. How many hits did you take when you experienced this?
 
At the risk of veering this thread even closer in the "what did I take" direction: responding really poorly to increasing dosage is a classic sign of some other drug being passed off as LSD. LSD's wide dosage range, where several times the smallest fully effective dose will still be perfectly safe and simply more intense, most other drugs become unpleasant if not outright dangerous if you take several times a 'single hit' dose. It's not uncommon to eat several hits of acid at a time, but if each of those "hits of acid" is actually a fully active dose of a DOx or 5-MeO-AMT or who knows what other random psychedelic, the result is definitely not going to be what was intended and may be very very bad.

Even though LSD itself is quite safe at higher doses, I suggest taking one hit of any new "acid" first. Of course, as some of the accounts here show, one hit can also cause an atypical disaster... Maybe these are just rare cases of bad reactions or even allergies to LSD (although the latter seems unlikely given the tiny amounts involved), or some medication or supplement they forgot to mention with a weird interaction, or maybe they are not LSD at all. At any rate, while I don't like telling other people they should or shouldn't eat more drugs, I would probably wait a while and try a small dose of a different source of LSD in a controlled setting, and/or look into testing a dose from the supply that caused the problem if there's any left to see what it actually is. These negative reactions are rare enough to at least raise serious suspicion in my mind that it might not be LSD. Even bad trips rarely involve severe physical symptoms, although psychosomatic pain/discomfort is certainly not unheard of.
