shrooms + weed ( very scared)

[sweet busto]

So this weedend im home alone, and with a friend I decided to smoke weed and do shrooms! My friend only smoked! I take about 1,5g ( 3 heads) and smoke 1-2 joints during the night. Everything is fun and fine! its about 9 pm! Its my 3rd time with shroom and the 2 other times was a hell of a trip ( really fun). At about 1 or 2 pm my friend decides to leave and im about to go to bed because i'm tired!

1:30 still can feel the effects of shroom but im on the comedown ... i decide to go down stair to get a glass of water and when I tried to go down, I feel very, very, very strange like a was swallow by a vortex, my noze is suddenly full ( pressure) ,I try to breath but is very hard, my vision is all blur ( fuckup, like if there was smoke everywhere) ... My heartbeat is very fast. I felt like a big pressure on my head and body! I almost faint. i thought i was going to die... and could not think about anything but negative things that made me even more anxious + heart rate racing...

is that a panic attack? or a medical problem.... I felt like that all night till 6am went I finally past out! I was tryin to stay wake not do die in my sleep! that was the first time, i almost called the cops to get some help i was very confuse.

2 days later a take a small hit of weed, and start to feel the same effect but less intence only the heartbeat very fast and the feeling of being stres or anxious hard to tell!!!

What do you guys think?

It's orthostatic hypotension, very common if you consume drugs like cannabis (or have low blood sugar) and stand up quickly.

Nothing to be worried about. Just be aware that if you stand up and start moving really quickly after taking drugs (or while fatigued) you may feel like you're going to faint.

You can also help avoid feeling faint by having the occasional sugary/starchy snack.

Yes, its a panic attack & your brain is now associating the weed high with it. I used to smoke 24/7 but can't anymore because it causes anxiety. I still take an occasional puff & just deal with it. Shrooms can be pretty traumatizing. I have almost an unlimited supply (have horse & live on gulf coast) and I rarely touch them because I always end up wishing I haden't taken them at some point in the trip even if the other 99% of the trip was great. I also get a weird feeling behind my nose sort of like a loogie that wont budge.

Taking shrooms in a context (camping is great) tends to lessen the chances of freaking out. The negativity seems to always begin with boredom or "what should I do" feelings that snowball into panic.

In the end I don't regret even the negative experiences. Hopefully you got more good than bad out of the trip & learned something.

Edit: Like sekio mentioned the hypotension most likely was the trigger for the panic. Freaking out about even trivial things happens a lot with shrooms once your mind gets on a negative track.

It's odd that you mention orthostatic hypotension. That's one of the side effects from some prescription medications I'm taking for hypertension. I get that about 1/2 hour after taking the meds (beta blocker, calciium channel blocker and ACE inhibitor). It can become very severe when I smoke Cannabis, and can be magnified by mushrooms.

When my mushroom trips are close to finished, I have a glass of OJ with a dextrose tablet in it. And. move. slowly.

Orthostatic hypotension...seens to be the right symptoms, but is it cause by the weed or the shrooms? I guess the shrooms made it worst + weed! Then I started to panic it was the first time it happened to me!... I went outside, return to bed it happened again 1-2 times, then I went to bed just tu tried to relax make my heart go slower, but it was on and off...instantly when I tried to focus on something else I started to think about negative thing than boom panic attack and anxiety!

will I ever be able to do shrooms or smoke weed again? I taking a break from any drugs for 2-3 week ( for schools exams) and I'll probably try weed again to see If I can smoke again! what do you think?

Cannabis is the "worst offender" for hypotension. But fatigue is a second place. The best thing to do is: only smoke weed when you're well-fed, and don't smoke to excess. If you feel faint, just remember to sit down, breathe, and you'll be fine.

The mushrooms probably didn't help your psychological state.
