I have done mushrooms / lsd maybe a dozen or so times throughout my life, mostly low to mid doses, though also one 4g and one 5.5g shroom trip. The latter of those was absolutely horrible, but not in the traditional "horror trip" kind of way. Rather, I felt extremely physically uncomfortable all the time: First too hot, then too cold, and a constant sense of an immense strain on my body, as if having to carry heavy weights while already being really sore from a workout. Also, I was constantly involuntarily grimacing, literally for hours. All this was way beyond any "normal" body load, and these unpleasant physical sensations completely ruined the trip and eventually had me panicking. For those interested, I wrote a much more detailed trip report about this on Bluelight at the time, which can be found here.
That was 2.5 years ago and I still haven't touched shrooms since then. I have, however, tried small doses (like a third or maybe half a blotter) of LSD on three different occassions, and each time, I developed the exact same symptoms described above, except of course much less intense. The grimacing in these lower doses is mostly around the lips (pursing, puckering, smacking, etc), which is really weird, because that is usually associated with tardive dyskinesia, which is a completely different psychiatric condition that I have never seen connected to psychedelics before anywhere.
Obviously, I will not be taking any high or even intermediate doses again so long as this problem persists. I never had this issue before the 5.5g shroom trip mentioned above, but I seem to be getting it every time since then, although that is now over 2 years ago. Has anyone had similar experiences? Any idea what might be causing this / how to fix it? Before anyone asks: My diet is great, I work out and get outside plenty, don't take any meds, and my bloodwork always comes back fine.
