Yea, I threw mine away after having a purely negative experience (first try and it was bad enough that I never wanted to try again) but have always wondered what the deal was, as I seem to be pretty tolerant of most psychedelics...
You aren't alone in this regard. I worked with this substance all last year and personally trip sat or tripped with multiple people in a variety of settings. I saw it humble hard heads that had years of shroom/LSD trips under their belts. It caused great distress in a friend of mine one night and I've never seen him like that on any substance. We've been tripping together on things since our first mushroom journey over a decade ago, he can handle his shit.
In some people it just doesn't seem to mesh well. Even those that can push the does up to full blown trip levels have a hard time working with it.
I had this on a low doses and found it really weird. My first couple of times I got, like you said, some kind of panic attack at the two/three hour mark. I dind't really notice the biphasic character most atribute to the trip, but near the middle of the trip I felt very anxious and uncomfortable, like I've never felt with any other substance. The rest of the trip was fine, and the "fear" passed rather quickly the second time I had it.
I find it weird that 5-Meo-MiPT can do this to me, being that it doesn't seem to alter my mind very drastically.
It's an oddball that sneaks up on you for sure. I had multiple low does trips on it where I didn't feel much was going on only to cycle into panic states over the course of a few hours. I remember once I had taken 5 or 6mg and felt it wasn't doing much, so I laid in bed to ride out the end of the trip and relax. It sent me down a mental rabbit hole that had me complementing things I never do. I became very depressed and was happy that I had taken the precautions I normally do (locking up all the guns).
Once I'd come through it all was well, but I didn't learn anything or gain much insight. I just felt like it was forcing bad thoughts into my head on that particular trip and it was some time before I returned to the substance and tried again.
I don't want to paint it in a bad light as I really did enjoy my time with 5-meo-mipt. However, I do not suggest this substance to any one any longer, and I refuse to take it again. All together I consumed somewhere in the ball park of 400-600mg over the course of a year and a half, maybe less since I was sharing/giving away a great deal of it. But I know the majority of that gram went into my body and it has changed me and left me humbled. I am less inclined to mess with RCs now.
I abused it to some extent I guess..better than a dope habit I reckon. I guess I was so eager to does it because like you said it was a highly manageable trip and I could enjoy the altered state around sober people without them catching on.
