Hey when I do lsd i notice during the comeup within 20 min of taking it, I get pretty bad body tention/nervousness that effects my entire body. Is this common? Its frightening sometimes and it makes me have bad thoughts that im trying to avoid when in a good mindset. If anyone has any tips or tricks for relaxing myself during this time it would be more than appreciated because I love lsd and its effects, I just hate the severe nervousness I get soon after ingesting it. It makes it harder avoid a bad trip. I've also been told shitty acid can do that to you and low doses as well. I have to agree since this type of nervousness happened when i dabbled with 1 hit. if someone could shed some light on this so i can rekindle my love of lucy id really appreciate it.

*** note it doesnt happen BEFORE i take lsd, just right after ingestion. I always make sure i have the right set and setting and a good minset before any trip yet after ingestion the nervousness from it causes me to have negative thoughts.

Thanks and glad to be a part of the community here.
 
A lot of people are uneasy on the comeup. Some people recommend having a beer or two or some other sedative, others prefer to ride it out. Some also use cannabis for this, but in others it intensifies the anxiety. And plenty of folks do find lowish doses a bit agitating as well.

Thanks for the info. A beer sounds interesting to try and makes sense. Yes pot would make it worse since it gives me shitty thoughts on it's own. And yes, I thought it made sense because the first time I did LSD it was wonderful with a medium dose, the second time with a low dose is when the nervousness came out of no where. Glad to hear im not the only one...

As for the next time I do it, it will be the same dose as my first experience and with a sitter since the times ive done it before was without someone to calm me down (dumb I know). I noticed during that nervousness that sounds really bothered me and were intensified. it made the nervousness even worse....music was scary....is this common?
 
With higher (more psychedelic) doses, you can allow more positive thoughts to take shape and literally think yourself out of it. At low doses, where it is mostly stimulating and adrenergic, you are only on the threshold of psychedelia, and so it's more difficult (for some) to allow those thought processes to blossom in to a state of surrender.

The best thing to do is to focus in on the physical aspects (don't try to avoid them), and use the psychedelic edge to 'feel' the subconscious control your body has over these automatic responses. When you are flirting with the threshold of automatic physical response, you can then let yourself relax, and uses the biofeedback you are getting to allow pleasant and soothing vibrations to work out any kinks.

thanks for the great advice and worded beautifully as how im thinking of it now. Ya this time it will be a larger dose with some higher quality acid. Luckily this time my most trusted friends will be with me during the trip.

Also after analyzing my two trips, I noticed the first time I did alot of activity tho at night and was outside exploring...would that contribute to a release of that tension? The second time i was merely sitting in my room on a cloudy day waiting for it to hit on a low dose.
 
alcohol definatly works to chill the trip and not be so on edge. You need hard liquor though, beers usually wont cut it IMO.

I wouldnt try mushrooms if your getting nervous on LSD. It's normal, just need to learn to control all your thoughts and stay positive. Remember it's your mind that controls the trip, you really have to "teach" your mind this and control those anxious thoughts.

Edit- I didnt read your whole post to begin with. As I mentioned you need to stay positive, even if you feel those negative thoughts coming through. If you sit and dwell on those thoughts and think your going to have a bad trip, then nothing positive will change and you can easily get yourself into a bad trip. Here's what I do whenever i feel anxious vibes coming up wheather on LSD or mushroom. Play your favourite music with headfones on, dance around, sing to the music, do whateva makes you feel good. Also going outside, changing the setting works wonders aswell and will take your mind of the LSD as it comes on.

One thing ive learnt with Psychelics like acid and mushrooms is that wheather your solo tripping or tripping around friends, you need to control your own mind to push for a positive trip if things seem negative.

If it's muscle tension, you could try a chelated magnesium supplement (you'll probably want to take 500 mg, but no more than that, unless you want it to work as a laxative).

Definitely. Being outside, and feeling the natural cues around you to move around, your autonomic functions are fully adapting to the changing situation constantly. The mind beneath the surface has something far more natural to do, which I suppose is one of the reasons it feels more natural to be wandering in the wilderness.

Thanks for all the info guys, I will definitely remember all of this while im tripping. It helps this time it will be during the day, which i feel much more comfortable in than at night. Not to mention the 5htp i have restores my serotonin well right now from my last mdma experienced. but I plan to cease usage a few days before i drop so it doesn't have much of an interaction. Possibly on the come down thought to shake that edge
