Mushrooms - Most intense trip ever
About two months ago, I acquired a large quantity of dried shrooms. Total weight was about 30 grams. The friend I got them from said that these were a particularly powerful batch, so I took 3.5 grams for my first dose. Not more than a + or ++ with that dose, so last night I went for a full 5.5 grams. For reference, I'm a 26 year old male, 6'4" 275lbs.
I measured out my shrooms on my digital scale and ate them, washing it down with some water. Sat on the computer for a while, playing a game. About an hour later, around 10pm now, my arms and legs started to feel light and tingly so I decided to lay down on my bed a little bit.
I closed my eyes and some particularly intense geometric CEV's started up. I was enjoying them very much, and probably kept my eyes shut for a solid hour just enjoying the ride. That's when things took a turn for the worse.
A wave of fear came over me that I had never felt before on any other drug, or even on my past mushroom experiences. My thought patterns started to jump around alot, and I started thinking about very negative things, and thinking about all the bad things in my life. This went on for about 20-30 minutes and was accompanied by some vivid hallucinations, both with my eyes opened and closed. I was thinking to myself, "Uh oh...what if I stay like this forever?" Even though I knew it would go away eventually, I just wasn't thinking straight. I decided to turn on the TV and watch a movie, thinking that would take my attention away from all the negative thoughts.
Things just got worse after I turned the TV on. I felt like I was going utterly insane. I sat up on the bed, took my clothes off, and started babbling incoherently and waving my arms around. I talked out loud, not really to anyone or anything, for probably half an hour. It was just mumbling, saying strange words that didn't exist in a language I just created in my head. It was truly frightening.
At one point I looked out my window to see a large oak tree that was backlit by a porch light. It took on the appearance of a large insectoid beast, and even though it looked scary, I wasn't afraid of it. I knew it wasn't real, yet I had to keep reminding myself that it was just a tree.
Went to the bathroom to urinate. Having extreme visuals at this point...everything has swirling patterns, including my face and body. It's too much for me to handle so I make my way back to my room and shut the door. Some intense trailers still, but at least I don't feel insane anymore. By this time it's around 130am, almost 5 hours after I ate the shrooms.
I think I fell asleep around 230am...I was trying to go to sleep, just so the trip would end. I don't remember any significant dreams from the night...I've had a bad headache all day that even prescription motrin won't cure.

i'm afraid it sounds like you had a pretty decent trip, althought nothing out of the unusual. even for a big guy 5.5 grams is expected to potentially erase your sense of reality. The trip at higher doses can have completely different characteristics than lighter trips. On a body weight equivalent dose i remember losing reality so much that i had invented my own language as well. I had severe memory blackouts that lasted many minutes at a time... mushrooms can be the ultimate fucker if you ask me!
