Pins and needles on acid?

I took four hits of LSD a few days ago. At one point, my nose started bleeding apropos of nothing, and I felt parts of my body going numb. Pins and needles all along my arm and leg, and generally the left side of my body. I felt myself become light-headed and weak, and felt some strange spasm in my heart. It occurred to me that it might not have really been LSD (despite a reliable source and that the blotter paper didn't taste of anything), but some psychedelic amphetamine, and that I might have overdosed. I've never taken that much acid before. Obviously it didn't kill me, but I'm wondering, is this something I should be concerned about? If it WAS some DOx compound, about how much would I have to take for it to be dangerous?
 
Problem is, if you're not even sure what substance you're taking, you can't be sure how much of it you're taking either. (Assuming it's on blotters or sugar cubes or something.) I reccomend you invest in some Ehrlich's reagent.
 
sounds like a DOx or 25i. they can cause vasoconstriction which would give the effects you described. don't do more than 4 from now on if youre going to keep using those blotters. high doses are dangerous
 
It's so annoying that we can never be sure what's on our blotter paper. :\

If I were you, I would also be quite suspicious of the material's true identity. I had something similar happen to me recently, where I bought some blotter which seemed a lot like LSD, but made me suspicious because it seemed to have more of a bodyload and less emotional warmth than I was accustomed to having with LSD. So, I swallowed a couple blotters, and sure enough, they were quite active orally, so I ruled out an NBOMe. Duration ruled out a DOx, but I suppose it's still possible that I got some other chemical like bromo-dragonfly or 5-MeO-AMT. The paper was particularly thick, so it may have even held an active dose of 2C-P for all I know.

Stupid consequence of the war on drugs - black market drug identity issues...
 
LSD can also cause vasoconstriction, thought not as extreme as NBOMes or DOx chems. Personally, massive doses of clean L gives me no noticeable vasoconstriction, heavy and repeated doses of 25i have made me feel weak and wobbly in my thighs all day long, similar but much more noticeable than the heavy weird deadness I feel in my limbs from mushrooms.
 
This is getting a bit worrying now that acid tabs are generally under-dosed & RC's are so easilly available a replacement.

I think while this situation persists we should discourage anyone & everyone from necking multiple blotters on the assumption that they're pure 100ug of LSD. I think the assumption should be that EVERY blotter contains something other than LSD & that EVERY blotter should should be used only after careful titration & affimation of it's contents.

Large doses of LSD might be fucking intense but they aren't deadly. Although they may still be safe enough in normal dosage, this is certainly not the case for NBOMe or DOxx compounds.

Be careful please people! <3
 
I'd be very disappointed if it turned out to be a research chemical. There are reasons to think it might be and reasons to think it might not be.

First: four tabs turned out to not be a very strong experience. I was surprised to find it was only slightly stronger than taking two from the same batch a week prior. Considering LSD's reputation, that doesn't seem right.
Second: I also felt markedly nauseous on the come-up, despite having eaten root ginger, which seemed unusual.
Third: The vasoconstriction. Maybe I'm just very physically sensitive to acid. But I've never heard of this symptom on less than a milligram of the stuff.

However,

First, I've been told on this site that the blotters (Buddha with his teeth clenched; one Buddha per four squares) are legit.
Second, I trust the source.
Third, no metallic taste from the paper.
Fourth, normal acid duration.

I'd like to take even more but I'm afraid I'll just die in terror and agony if I do - at the least, I'd be nervous about it for the whole trip. I'd have no problem with buying and trying a research chemical if I knew that's what it was, and I knew the safety parameters - right now all I know is, they're considerably tighter than for LSD. So selling it as LSD is an enormously dick move, bordering on sociopathic. I share everyone's frustrations at not being able to safely determine the legitimacy of a tab. Perhaps it is worth investing in this test, if I can afford it and if it's manageable.
 
Not the sumos? Different coloured backgrounds but usually hued red? Four per square, and teeth clenched.

If so, they're definitely legit. Four would have been absolute insanity. One of my favourite tabs ever quite honestly.

PS If you took 4 sumos, I think you would have had at least a half a milligram in my opinion, others may disagree. Definitely a heavy dose though.

Most likely 25i or DOx compound, especially if your in Australia.
I have taken 10+ hits on multiple occasions and nothing like this has ever happened to me.

Keep in mind if its good cid and you took four you would most likely feel fantastic, the only possible way that could have occurred on real LSD-25 is if you were having a severe SEVERE panic attack
 
Not necessarily. Two different chemicals can be laid on one print of blotter, of course.

Very true. But that being said, I have eaten more of them than I could count from numerous sources. I know others who have eaten ungodly amounts also. Always exactly the same. Nor have I heard of any copy cats floating around. Just saying.

A test would be ideal though, in the interest of HR.

Sorry yeah, they were sumos not Buddhas. My mistake.

It definitely didn't feel like a particularly heavy dose. It was comfortable. I started with 2.5, then took another 1.5 slightly over an hour in.

I did actually think at the time that it might have been a panic attack. There was a point where I was panicking. This all came immediately after I had a very intense emotional realisation, the after-effects of which I'm still feeling now. I've felt severe guilt on a very deep level for years following a traumatic event, and during this trip I realised that this guilt had robbed me entirely of my will to live. I suddenly realised I could let that guilt go, and that I hadn't even done anything all that bad, I'd just been the victim of something that turned my world upside down. It felt like life flooding into my veins for the first time in years... then immediately after, my nose started bleeding and I was coughing up blood.

I thought, "That'd be right, wouldn't it. I finally start living again and now I'm gonna die."

I told myself it was just the acid, but then I started feeling light-headed and slurring my words and my heart spasmed and much of the left side of my body went numb. I fell to the sand (I was in the middle of a desert with no mobile phone reception and no one around) and thought, if I really am having some sort of lethal reaction, there's no way I can get medical support. There's nothing I can do. I countered with, it's just the LSD playing tricks on you... and then streams of blood started running down my nose. I decided at that point that it must not be LSD, and I guess I started to panic. I pulled out my phone and wrote a message to my loved ones, then laid waiting in the sand and prayed it wouldn't hurt too much. I remember repeating over and over, "It was worth it."

And then an hour later, I wasn't dead, so I got up and started walking back. For the rest of the night I felt fine (and emotionally fantastic).

Perhaps it really was a psychosomatic reaction to suddenly seeing my own blood all over the sand, in the wake of an overpowering emotional experience. That was what I told myself at the time, but I'm just not sure.
 
on high dose LSD I go totally numb, I won't feel me pinching my fingers together, once a friend slapped me and I could only feel the wind right before the slap, not the actual slap itself.

I don't know how to explain why/how this happens.
 
Sounds like an incredible experience Flickering. Hope you're all good man.

I would wager my left nut that what you took is LSD, but as said get a test kit. Such an intense experience will have you wondering if you've got the real deal every time you get a tab, so a tester would eliminate any potential future anxiety.

Good luck integrating your experience :) PM me if you want.
