Post Acid trip hallucinations

[Lovenlight7]

I googled this forum to see if anyone is having similar trips days/weeks following the taking of the acid. But after reading these posts I'm getting ever more concerned. Most are experiencing or have experienced what I am currently dealing with but after numerous times of taking acid. I have been taking MDMA, in crystal form, since about September of last year, on a pretty regular basis, but I tried acid for the first time last Saturday while at EDC. That night of the even got shut down do to extremely high winds, it became very cold, I wasn't clothed appropriately and I ended up having a terrible trip. I dropped HALF a tab at around 12:15A...I started coming up at around 12:35, this was some strong acid. I felt great, was laughing a lot, intense but beautiful visuals, vibrations and morphing everywhere, I loved it, but at around 4:30 in the morning the winds started going crazy, I was so cold my lips were blue, all my friends have tripped on acid multiple times and were having a great time, I started to worry because I noticed at this point, we were all going to get sick. We were shivering, and everyone was too f**cked up to find their way back to the car.( keep in mind there were 300,000 people at this event, I know, not the best place to drop acid for my first time ) after finally getting to the car and the sober one driving up back safely to the hotel my tripped remained in full affect. I was told a full tab of acid should provide one with a trip of anywhere between 8-10 hours.well I ended up tripping for close to 27 hours,with visuals vibrations hallucinations the entire time, and I only took half a tab, because I didn't want to go too hard my first time, mind you. I went to EDC day 3 on 15 minutes of sleep. Was just worried about making sure everyone was safe and having a good time (I'm a control freak so acid PROBABLY not the best drug for someone with such a controlling personality lol) I finally came back home to Florida. Am still having random flashbacks, hallucinations, loud noises scared the life out of me, I'm easily startled by things that normally don't bother me. My temper is VERY short, I'm having trouble finding excitement in most anything. Only thing that eases me is being outdoors and going for walks. I find myself sitting and staring aimlessly for long periods of time, then I snap out of it. The dark scares me now, never been one to be afraid of the dark, lol. And I feel extremely disconnected from myself. The other night I was hallucinating, saw tree black silhouettes running at me and I tried to scream for help at my boyfriend who was laying down next to me and when I looked over at him he appeared to be growling and charging at me as well. Not a sound came from my
Mouth, I wanted to yell for help but couldn't, finally he held me and asked me why I was crying, and I was able to speak. I don't feel okay. Ive only ever tried acid that one time, so I'm concerned with the intensity of my post trip hallucinations and the fact that I took such a small amount confuses me. I know it's probably due to me having a REALLY bad trip, as the circumstances , weather and situation was not ideal for an acid adventure. I just wanted to get opinions from someone who Has more experience/knowledge of the drug. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated(and sorry for the novel of the post)

No one can say, but what you took was probably not LSD if you were tripping for 27 hours.

But it really doesn't matter. Just don't take any more drugs, rest up and eat well, and you will come down and be back to normal very soon. What you're experiencing is very common and will go away soon if you allow it to. Take a long break from drugs of any kind, consider drastically reducing your use of MDxx drugs in the future, and take the time to educate yourself about true psychedelics before considering trying them again.

You'll be fine...

Everyone else took it and my friends have been taking acid for years, it was indeed acid according to them, just some extremely good acid. I never rested and was the only one having a bad trip so is it possible that is why it lasted so long? Because I attempted controlling the situation the moment things went bad? Indeed, I won't be taking drugs for quite some time. Not researching the drug prior to using it was irresponsible on my end, Vegas got the best of me lol. Your reply puts me somewhat at ease and I appreciate it thank you

Again - there simply is no way of knowing, and they don't really allow us to guess here what you took specifically. But for your purposes right now that doesn't even really matter. Yes you could have ingested a much larger dose than intended if the paper was laid poorly but sometimes people also just stay altered after the trip should have normally worn off. IME the more one's head is otherwise altered in the first place (lots of recent MDMA or other drug use, no sleep, unusually intense set/setting, etc) the more likely an 'ordinary' trip may become extraordinary/prolonged/unpleasant. All psychedelics must be treated with as much respect as possible because they all have the potential for highly variable and very powerful effects. You are also right that trying to control or fight a psychedelic experience is a recipe for a bad time - in general the idea is to dose in a place where you can safely "let go" completely and then do so.

But for you right now - all you really have to know is that this happens and the cure is time, rest, sleep, good food. My bet is you will be feeling fine within a couple of days - very possibly as soon as you next get a good night's sleep. But you will definitely come down and feel okay as long as you don't take more drugs and allow yourself to rest up. Stop reading about drugs and go rest and sleep and treat your brain with kid gloves for a good long time and you'll be fine....

If you only took 1/2 there is no way at all you took you would trip for 27 hours or even close to that even if it was a very potent tab. It deffently sounds like it was eather bromo-dragon-fly or maybe some DOx drug. What you are experiencing after is known as HPPD
hallucination percistent perception dissorder. I had it somewhat bad for a bit 5 years ago. Just take a break from psychedelics and all probly all drugs for a while and you should be fine. Weed will deffently bring out the symtems if you have it and even caffeine can.

hallucination percistent perception dissorder. .

I know you are trying to be helpful but there is no basis to diagnose someone with any sort of condition based on the fact that they are still high in the immediate wake of taking unknown drugs. People would start using that acronym if she continued to experience these symptoms for a long long time after ceasing drug use.


To the OP - this is why I recommend going offline. Go relax, eat, masturbate, sleep.....you'll be fine....
