The Big & Dandy 'Nausea and Psychedelics' Thread

Ginger, chamomile, and mint are all natural anti-emetics. Make tea with one or more of these and use it to drop your dose.
 
I always eat a little fruit like a half of a apple or half of a banana. Just enough to feel in my stomach, but not too much to slow down absorbing of the chems. I think 2Cs are about the only ones that make me feel nausea, that and asprin, maybe it is a phen thing.
 
2ci has caused rather obscene projetile vomiting on my behalf (never tried 2ce) but I believe that was more due to the incredible rushes I was getting. LSD makes me vomit these days too, but I link it too a purge like experience... Vomiting on psychs can actually be really enjoyable, the build-up to the emesis aint so fun. As 5ht2 said, various herbs can be used effectively, and there are some medications that may be of help- unfortunately, a lot of these are psychoative too, so your best of with a cup of chamomile and skullcap with some ginger. However, I must say ginger is one of the worst things to vomit, if it still occurrs, it truly sears your throat.
 
Any tips for reducing potential nausea when using 2C-I?

Hi, i'm going to be trying 2C-I for the first time coming up here pretty soon, and as I'm going to be using it in a club environment, I really want to minimize any nausea or body load, because I won't have a place to lie down. I've been reading lot's of experience reports, and most people don't report much nausea, but some report a heavy body load (and occasionally even vomiting). I've got 22mg available to take. Does the body load increase dramatically with a heavy dose like this? Also, should I take it on a full stomach? Empty Stomach? Somewhere in between? Any tips would be useful; also, if anyone would like to give a comment on how much of a body load you do or do not get on 2C-I, I would appreciate it.

Inquiringly,
Oht

I usually eat on an empty stomach or have a small meal a couple hours before.
Eating healthy sure helps minimize the nausea and overall body load.
Try eating some fruits and have some juices.

I also have a couple joints nearby, as marijuana helps reduce nausea for me and helps synergize well with chemicals.

Some people also try eating other things, like dramamine or OTC meds to help with this but I personally wouldnt reccomend this...as I dont like OTC meds.

2CI does carry a body load but it is not overly noticeable.
I tend to get stimulation and slight stomach discomfort on 2CI, but it is not anything disturbing. It passes after a while and then you are in a happy place.

good luck
 
I chew calamus root before and during just about every trip, it has a very calming effect on my stomach.
 
I have no tips as far as reducing nausea with 2C-I. I however HIGHLY recommend that you do not use Asprin afterwards if you get a headache. I did this once in the absence of APAP or Ibprofen, and ended up vomiting blood about 10 minutes later. Not to mention about 5 minutes after the asprin I felt extremely sick, vomiting was quite a relief actually but my headache only got worse after that.. I had also vasted before the 2C-I as I do with most psychedelics, not sure if that had anything to do with it.

I do remember getting some of the worst nausea ever with this drug. I wanted to smoke a massive blunt on the come up, but it hit me faster than I expected it to and hitting the blunt made me come close to puking. LOL, I wasted ALL of my weed that night in that blunt, and didn't smoke but the first 2 hits off it. So I guess marijuana not so great for nausea on 2C-I, works wonders for nausea on 2C-E IME.
 
In my experience, 2C-I produces very little nausea for a phenethylamine. What I would make sure to be prepared for is a rough come-up with anxiety. But after you pass that, unless you freak out, it'll be a smooth and happy place.

Mint tea usually works for nausea, or ginger...
That would have been my reply as well :) Actually try mint AND ginger tea!

If it is WAAAY too bad (as with AMT), I have used the above as well as a scopolamine patch.
 
try putting the 2C-I powder in a glass of OJ and drink it over 15-30 minutes. Its easier on your stomach that way. It tends to smooth the come-up as well in my experience.
 
I would not recommend the scopolamine patch, since there is no studies done on the pharmacology of 2C's. Who knows if they are only HT agonist, my bet would be multi action profile.

We don't know enough to recommend combining it with other drugs.
 
I also find 2c-i to be one of the most nauseating psychedelics that I have tried. It's the only one that has actually made me throw up during the come-up. But after that, it's smooth sailing.

I would agree with e1evene1even and try to ingest your dose over a 15-30 minute period, rather than just taking it all at once. Although I have never tried this myself, it makes sense to me that spreading it out like that would be easier on the stomach.

Of course, I could be totally wrong. But it's worth a try =D

Good luck!
 
2c-i is just plain nasty to me. But that is besides the point.

The key to avoiding nausea is diet diet diet. Eat healthy a couple days before your trip, and either eat nothing or something very light, like a salad the day of. It will do wonders.
 
^^that doesnt work so well if you are hypoglycemic like me. I will eat light before hand, but I usually eat hard candy during to keep my blood sugar level, and 2c-i screws with blood sugar more than any phen I have tried.

Actually you are absolutely right.

Although, I have seen many instances of people combining all sorts of chemicals with Diphenydramine, including 2C-I, so I figured scopolamine wouldn't be too different interaction-wise. I recommended it simply because it works better for me than diphenhydramine with nausea.

But you are right.
 
From the many times I've done 2c-i and 2c-e I've found that smoking a joint about one hour after taking the chemical greatly reduces most of the anxiety and nausea

When I smoked earlier/later than one hour i still felt a bit of nausea.

Also, anytime I smoked tobacco before the peak the nausea was a LOT worse.

You guys, i just wanna say, i have been doign 2c-i and other phenethylamines for over the past 5 years, i've tried all the 2c compounds available, as well as all the different dmt structures.

A phenethylamine that i have ALWAYS had a massive amount of stomache discomfort on was 2c-e, with 2c-e I would always puke, purging and then i would be high, and uncomfortable the rest of the duration of the trip.

2c-i is however incredibly easy to ingest without causing any nausea, if it is in the bulk powder form why not try wrapping it up in a piece of one-ply toilet paper and doing it parachute' style. Or if you want, go out to the health food store, and grab something like some vitamine suppliments in a cap that u can take apart, empty, refill and then ingest.

if you want, i can post a few trip reports from previous 2c-i trips of
mine. If you do 2c-i alot then you will quickly gain a tolerance for it. An example of my tolerance to the substance, well, a regular dose is 14-22 mg for a strong dose. i take 150-250 milligrams on a regular dose.
 
^ That seems like a dangerous dose 8o

I always throw up when coming up on 2C-I when I ingest at least 20mg (my favourite dose range is 30-40mg), the only real way to prevent (or at least greatly reduce) nausea with 2C-I I've found is plugging. Oral ingestions usually lead to vomiting right before the peak for me, cannabis is no relief either.
