yes, i realize this is a very dramatic title. in the interest of harm reduction i wanted to make it that way. since the acid boom of the late 90s, personally my associates have been unable to even find the stuff. i have had a handful of experiences though that were reminiscent of the good clean legitimately synthesized chemical that some of us may be found of. now, this is not a standard trip report but a harm reduction message as well. let me just throw that out there.
blotter was gifted to my associate. the person that gifted it said it was a timothy leary print and obtained in austin, tx here very recently. it was obviously a large design type style because all i saw where various bits of color and shade. apparently there are quite a few of this "brand" in circulation in the atx area.
my associate consumed one hit. previous reports indicated this was the good stuff. after one hour, no noticeable effects. some very intermittent effects were noticed while watching tv, but nothing but that jaggy come up sensation. my associate is rx'ed soma, the muscle relaxer, so one was taken to help level things out and half a beer consumed. my associate has low alcohol tolerance and it was one of those fancy high ABV beers. at an hour, my associate took another hit as did her friend. waited two hours. eventually extreme waves of nausea set in which my friend had never experienced on the lsd of her younger heydays... dry heaving lasted approx 2 hours and then mild visuals set in. there was no mind-expanding quality to the drug. everything was focused on very small minute options and the world was closing in. familiar with how to turn a bad trip, my friend's more experienced trip buddy administered water to stave of dehydration and used various techniques to take the girls mind off of the physical negativity of trip. then the leg spasms. the most insane leg spasms ever. she was jerking and flopping around like someone else has control of her legs. she described the feeling as severe akathesia combined with a charlie horse type cramp. during this time she was hyper vigilant, monitoring vitals. fever never set in, but some advil was taken just in case. she was worried about the dreaded serotonin toxicity. meanwhile, her trip buddy after three hours or so started to get some effects. fever never peaked. in the instance of serotonin syndrome/toxicity a fever will start caused by the severe convulsions and clonus spasms in the body. an executive decision was made not to seek medical help. eventually the clonus type spasms stopped but severe nausea subsisted. anyhow, given the profile of said blotter, the two decided it was definitely not acid. as to what it was, there is one hit left in their possession, and they asked me if there was anything akin pillreports.com for blotter. they don't know if it was a crazy reagent that didn't get washed or some crazy research chem being passed off as acid, or perhaps my friend did have an encounter with the dreaded serotonin storm.
in the interested of harm reduction she wanted me to get the message out. let it be said this girl takes no other seretogenic type drugs and serotonin syndrome happens generally when a person is on several seretogenic medications or drugs and can potentially be FATAL. her friend, a very experienced tripper was not even aware of such side effects, but she didn't want to worry him. in retrospect, i told her she should probably have gone to the hospital but it eventually broke.
when she got home she took some xanax which immediately got rid of the lingering spasms and nausea, was able to eat a simple and bland meal and hold down water again. she really wants to let people down in atx and surrounding areas to beware of this blotter. it may have been a one off experience but it was such a painful and physically miserable experience, she would have to have someone else experience it.
please educate yourself on the rare possibility when taking seretogenic drugs that serotonin sickness can happen. it is essentially POISONING and can be life threatening. in mild cases cessation of the drug, short acting benzodiazapines, and observation are generally administered. in more severe cases, a serotonin antagonist can be administered. if it is even more severe than that, a coma may be induced. obviously this is something that you need to take seriously. please, there is a great wiki article explaining this which you may find here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome. i am sure many bluelighters are aware of this form of toxicity but she was adamant about getting the word out as much as possible.
again she would also like to know if there is a place that can be sent for testing... any advice in this arena would be greatly appreciated. i spoke with my friend today and while she was able to get some sleep and eat she can barely get out of bed due to the residual leg pain.
be careful and safe psychonauts. know the risks, now what can happen. not to sound dramatic, but you don't want a death on your hands. thankfully my friend was able to monitor her condition, but if clonus type spasms did not break and fever hit, she would have gone to the hospital. this wasn't a bad trip, this was actual physical agony.
she also wants to warn the austin community of this particular blotter just in case it is adulterated.
*mods* i am new to bluelight and was not sure where to put her message. thank you for moving it to the appropriate thread.
