Xanax and LSD-very exp. with both-Waking up from a black out on 7 hits of acid, eek!

Prepare yourself for one hell of a fk'd up story. Where do I start? I'd been saving about 20 hits of blotter in my freezer since early January. It wasn't the strongest batch I'd ever come across, but in no way could I say that it was the weakest. Two and a half hits usually would suffice and provide a nice, pleasant trip.

Well, I take xanax 3mg/daily and a generic form of adderal IR 10mg 3x/daily. Well my doctor upped my xanax dose to 4mg/daily. Thing is, prior to my visit with her I'd run out of all meds completely. FOR TWO WEEKS! Withdrawls were extreme, but I made it through okay. So I go to school, load up on amphetamines, go home, do some homework then decide it's time to slow down my poor brain. I believe I popped about 3 xanax at first. Eventually I popped at least two more, and later (it's hard to remember now) possibly another 4-5. As far as I knew, I fell asleep. Wrong.

I had yet another xanax zombification episode. I wasn't aware. As any of you who have had a benzo black out you know what I'm talking about. Well, I can't describe to you the events that took place between then and when I "came to", but here is the crazy part. I woke up out of this trance rather quickly, but I didn't just wake up. I woke up tripping harder than I've EVER tripped before. It was bizarre because I didn't freak out, I wasn't confused by the distortion, breathing, and morphing visual perception. To me it was like waking up out of an unexplained blackout and coming into a world where this is just how things were. When I realized I was on acid, I checked my stash hoping I hadn't taken it all. I counted 6 hits remaining. I had 13 left out of 20. So I took 7 hits of moderately potent acid. Then I noticed that I was missing 4-5 10mg adderalls.

It was one hell of a ride, but it angered me. When I trip, I plan. The thought of tripping hardly crosses my mind unless I see purpose and reasonable oppurtunity. I had no intentions of tripping; at 4am especially. I don't remember taking it, or coming up on it or even having the idea that tripping would be a good idea. I can't put into words how waking up out of a walking coma on 7 hits of acid felt. When I woke up, everything I saw I took as normal. The most I've ever done was 5 hits and on average I'll take 4. And the trips I've had on 4 hits were definitely intense. On 7 I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Microcosmos (not microcosms) would develop, expand, and finally die. And I could watch this infinite cycle in sped up time. Due to the high dose of xanax and lsd, if I were talking to someone about something for too long I'd have to ask them what I was talking about. Then they'd remind me, "you're talking about your english paper". But then I'd say, "hmm...english paper". I simply couldn't comrehend "english paper". All I understood was the swaying, morphing coral sprouting out from every surface. Now I've seen trails plenty a time. But these trails were the definition of trails. If someone moved there arm I could track the movement through space and still see the arm at both starting point and where it stopped until it faded. I wish I could explain the thought processes and the epiphanies that were occurring but due to all that xanax (and I forgot to mention 4 vicodin) there's just no way to recall. I like to write down my thoughts, but a keyboard had no meaning. The words that would appear on the screen wouldn't adhere to their assigned symbol and meaning. An "A" was a building, or an H, or simply three lines that couldn't possibly mean anything significant.

The next day I went to school (I go to a community college) and some minor visuals remained. When my eastern philosophy teacher would lecture he'd use his hands a lot and I couldn't help but notice the obvious trails left behind his movements. It was odd that day as well in that class. I usually don't talk much and neither do others. It made me sad. So I just started getting into discussion about the hindu religions and philosophies and the belief in the cycle of samsara and perfecting your karma life after life until finally you supposedly are able to see through the veil of maya and attain moksha and merge with the supreme being brahman. I constantly was finding problems with the process itself and things that contradicted the process itself. I just kept questioning certain aspects of the cycle of samsara and the role of karma and how that amounts to the true renunciation prior to moksha. It got the class fired up. This is a group of people sit back, take notes (sometimes), occasionally have something to say though usually nothing meaningful and watch the clock more than they do concentrate on the lecture. But my curious inquires seemed to strike a nerve in about half the class and they joined in with me and began to understand the complex belief system of the ancient hindus.

Though I didn't plan this trip nor did I have any prior intentions of dropping it at all, some good definitely came out of it. I've never had my mind blown to pieces this many times and this intensely in one 10 hour period of time. It could have turned out really bad, but I lucked out. It was a very interesting experience and not one that I regret.

My next psychedelic endeavor involves a 10 strip, 2-3g mushrooms, 1-2 rolls and of course the sacred herb. All of that at a private beach, dosing timed specifically to catch the sunset. I could have written more, but it would have been an endless report. This is my first report on bluelight. I've sent in about 4 to erowid, but they get so many reports it takes them quite a while to get around to all of them. Hope someone enjoys this report. I can't wait to tell you all about my experience at the beach. I have it planned for early to mid summer. BTW, if anyone would like to comment on their experience with mushrooms+lsd+rolls or just mushrooms and lsd, I would LOVE to hear about it on this thread. Feel free to delve into your experience with a similar combo as I've never tried LSD and mushrooms together. They seem like they'd be perfectly synergistic. The sacred, wise aura of the mushroom and the electronic, synthetic power of the LSD and the compassion and empathy of the MDMA. Thanks for reading.

This is the thing. Anyone who's dropped acid before with a good head on their shoulders usually prepared for the trip and clears the mind and basically just preps themselves for the experience. Before you dose, you're aware of your normal surroundings and as the effects begin so does the anxiety because of the gradual yet profound shift in your perception of reality. But for me, this stage never occured. I woke up mid trip. To me, what I was seeing and thinking I thought was normal, as if it had always been that way. But it didn't scare me. Not once did I panic. I thought that was just the way things were. It was a mistake, but I can't say I really regret it really. It was a bizzare experience and unlike any other trip I've ever had. Extremely intense, but no apprehensive edge or potential bad trip. Definately a day to remember.
 
A friend of mine dosed me with acid once when I was sleeping. I woke up an hour or so after and I was tripping. It kind of pissed me off, because he had just come into my apartment, dosed me, and left. It would have been cool if he actually stayed and tripped with me or explained it to me.

I've woken up, dosed ecstasy, and then fallen back to sleep once, too... that was pretty cool. I woke up feeling waves of greatness all over me.
 
yeah falling asleep and waking on E is one of the greatest feelings. I did it on the train and I swear that dirty danky looking train was the nicest place on earth when i woke up......So happy yet so calm....

I think PhenethylTrypta a new way to enjoy drugs has been discovered:

Dose on a benzo of your choice, towards when you feeling like going to sleep, dose with either MDMA or LSD. Wake up touching the sky.

My favourite though is to forget that you've taken the drug. I did that with acid once, took it, started watching a movie and as it happened 2-3 hours later it hit. To sum it was extremely radical.
 
i'm glad you had a good trip, but your report kinda scares me. i regularly take xanax and those blackouts are always creepy to think about.
i found your explanation of the acid anxiety interesting; it really makes sense that since you woke up already tripping, the anxiety build-up wouldn't have happened.
so, yeah... wow.
 
About six days have passed since my unusual experience. This is a first, but I can't deny what's happening. Something's changed. I can't pin point it exactly and to use words to describe it would deprive it's true nature. I've done acid about 10 times and mushrooms about the same and I've rolled 30+ times, but nothing like this has ever happened to me after a trip. All I can say is I feel more at peace with "everything". I've always had issues with depression and I'm not saying my experience cured it, but it's just not the same. It's not as troubling. I just had a five hour talk on the phone with my best friend who happened to be on two hits of the same batch and some coke. There was hardly a moment of silence as we just spoke about everything. I would say I was sober but I am on adderall as prescribed though by that time it had mostly worn off as I take immediate release. I feel at ease. Very peaceful. Not as aggressive or worrisome. This could just be all in my head and if it is that's fine. I enjoy the way I'm feeling. If I experience an LSD afterglow, its usually gone by the next day. It's been nearly a weak and I feel a glow that is showing no signs of diminishing. Now I'll admit, I'm a paranoid person and I still show signs of paranoia, but thats not so much where the change is affecting me. My thought patterns seem noticeably more logical. My creativity seems to have been heightened significantly. I try to be as honest a person as I can, but I sometimes have trouble facing the truth. However, I now feel more open and willing to remain truthful in all situations and it feels good. Here's a good example. I had a talk with my mom and told her about my LSD use. I explained to her why I use it and how frequently (once a month to everyother). Her only concern seemed to be the fact that it was illegal. I moved out of my house when I was 18 but moved back about four months later while dealing with a benzo addiction. I've been back ever since and I'm turning 20 in July. I don't know, maybe I'm just getting older and realizing some more things. Another thing is my desire to trip has even been changed. As I stated in my first post, I'm planning one in the summer. I don't see any reason to journey again after that so long as my experience is satisfying. I feel that I've had my time with psychedelics, both good and bad times. I respect and appreciate both. I feel it's now time to put my broadened perspective to good use and do what I love to do. I'm writing a book that I just started on the 12th. It's frustrating, but exciting. I'd like to post a chapter on here some day when I've completed one. Its the type of material I think a lot of people on this forum would enjoy.

Anyway, I feel it is important to document and let others know how a single trip, one after having tripped plenty before, can affect a person in such a profoundly positive way. That was always the goal I was searching after and I have to say I feel a sense of spiritual arrival. This is just the begining though. That experience has opened my eyes to the various other mind expanding alternative routes and I'm interested more than ever in learning how to practice them. I'm sure one day down the line I'll revisit the Land of Lysergia, but I feel its time to devote my passion and interests into my writing and music. Thank you all for reading and taking interest in my experience.

Peace and love.
 
Hey man, that report was awesome. Have you eber read "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe. It's all about Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and his group of heads, known as the Merry Pranksters. They experiment with mainly Acid, Speed and Weed, and pioneer mixing all the mediums of entertainment i.e video, music, lights, poetry, spoken word etc, long before Andy Warhol cottoned on. Any way when they perfected this they went around conducting the "Acid Tests" where they would use this multi-medium while having a whole batch of "Electric Kool-Aid" (spiked with LSD hence Electric) and basiaclly introduce a buch of people to LSD without them knowing it. They had this method of bringing people back from bad trips by giving them total attention, i.e all giving the poor tripper positive vibes till they snapped out of it, and it pretty much almost worked. Anyway on to the main point, Kesey had this idea of graduating from Acid, basically getting the positive effects of Acid without the drugs, and he saw this as the only way for the Acid way to keep moving, because he saw that it had crested and was about to crash. I beleive that you have, in a less powerful way, graduated. I highly recommend you read this book, because Kesey had some great theories on how and why Acid added to creativity, linked with Huxley's idea of how psychedelics open the "Doors of Perception".

Namaste.
 
You know it's beyond me why I still haven't read that book. I've read about it since I was in high school, but I'm just so busy reading too many books at a time it's impossible to stick to one. Besides, it doesn't matter. ;) Right now I'm reading (simultaneously) The Stranger by Albert Camus, David Keirsey’s Please Understand Me II - Temperament, Character, Intelligence, P. D. Ouspensky's A New Model of the Universe, still trying to get through Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, for some reason still can't find a copy of Sartre's Nausea which I've been after for quite some time after reading Transcendence of the Ego and Being and Nothingness. I had a buddy in high school who used to always talk about the merry prankers and kesey and I've read some of huxley's poety and a foreword he'd written in a book I read by an author I can't recall at the moment.

I'm all over the place right now, but the thing is, I'm not so sure how important it really is. It's like, I'll read Watt's essays on The world as emptiness, the self and other, the psychotic experience and so on and there seems to be this simple, elegence to it that I found identical to everything I've come to understand as of late. In contrast to Watts, I've read the McKenna bros' The Invisible Landscape and was just baffled by the random, chaotic complexity of the plot...if you even wanna say it has a plot. Great read none the less.

You've hit the nail square on the head with the "graduation" analogy. I do feel a definite sense of release from "the chase". I mean, you climb that mountain so many times until finally you reach the top. And that view is just the most sacrosanct of all visions you could possibly gaze upon. As much as I'd love to set up camp up top that mountain peak, it's just not the way of things. An overall, lasting calm has taken over me and rid me of many human desires. It's a difficult concept to explain, but for those of you who understand, well, then what more can I say than "I know what you mean"?

Anyways, I still have to get around to reading that book. It's been on my mind for years. I remember one of the first books on LSD I ever checked out (besides those books that the government puts out to discourage use via untruthful scare tactics) was LSD: Still with us after all these years. What a terrible...thing. I guess I'm tired and I just realized I'm ranting a bit. But why not?

Peace
