Need help, friend took shrooms.

Sorry this is the wrong forum, but this is an emergency and I need help. Have a friend who just took shrooms, its been about 4 hours into the trip and I thought everything was going fine. He handled it relitivly well, but he just got done smoking a blunt. We walked inside and grabbed some water, and all of a sudden he starts freaking out. He said hes seeing everything red and was afraid he was gona die. He walked outside and we chilled with him, and then all of a sudden he just passed out cold and fell to the ground. He shook a little bit and then woke up fine, still freaking a bit though.
The weird thing is hes took lots of shrooms before, and said nothing like this has ever happened. Im worried about him, hes still afraid hes gona die, but ive got him to his bed and hes calming down. What the fuck should I do?
Im thinking he may have hyperventilated because he was scared, I cant think of any other reason this would happen =P

Don't call the ambulance, just calm him down, say everything is fine. It is most probably a panic attack, caused by smoking weed. Panic attacks happen, best thing you can do is try to calm your friend down.

He could have had a seizure. Passing out and shaking sounds like a seizure. Taking hallucinogens coupled with some other factors could have increased the odds of this happening. Had he eaten recently? Was he stressed? History of seizures?

Assure him everything will be ok. Assuming he's ingested a correctly identified psilocybin mushroom, it should end soon and he will return to a reality. Assure him he's under the influence of a mind altering drug and everything will return to normal soon. Try to get his mind on something comforting, put him in a comfortable place with low lighting and try to distract him. Are there any left for proper identification if you have to contact help?

There cubes =P Golden teacher ordered from ralph that I grew in myself. Hes a small dude, hasnt eaten in a while, and when he first started freaking is when he stood up. Based on what ive seen his blood pressure dropped out =P
My brother and him are in the kitchen right now, and there preparing some food. Hes completly calmed down. He sais his buzz from the weed and shrooms is completly gone now though.
Still worried about the 1-2 second seizure he had though. He did hit his head a little when he fell. And he said his mother had epilipse. But, right now ima get some food in him and help him recover =P he can worry about weather or not hes epileptic later.
Sorry for the post guys, I was just seriously scared for this guy. He is my cousin and one of my best friends =P

There are lots of reasons to pass out for a second that totally are not serious health issues. standing with knees locked, for example. Saw a guy pass out in the Army one time because of that.

I'm glad to hear he's ok. Standing quickly for some people causes a drop in blood pressure like you said...causing the shaking and convulsing...that combined with the panic from the psilocybin probably sparked the freak out...

Exactly, I have seen people get stoned and stand up and pass out due to acute hypotension, or standing for prolonged periods with their knees locked. If he hit his head after passing out then that would explain the short seizure.

Well, he finally went to sleep. Me and my brother are home now. A moderator can feel free to move this to another forum now.
From all the reading ive done lately, heres what ive discovered.
-Passing out while on shrooms isnt extremely uncommon -It usually happens when people are coming down, and after theyve smoked marijuana.
From all the reading ive done after searching through the post, those seem to be the two most common factors.
I guess ill have to warn my friends about this in the future (if I let any of them try shrooms). Ill definitely be more prepared for it. I feel like shit for letting my cousin hit his head =P
So, if you see someone is getting dizzy/whoozy and their on shrooms (or you are), make sure you get them to lay down on a couch or bed. The passing out doesnt seem to be harmful (though it is scary as shit), the actual fall itself could do some damage.
Thanks for the advice shroomerites =P

Get one of those padded helmets like kickboxers use, make them wear that if they trip.

Sorry, but pause for moment of hysterical fits at the mental image of that, applied to all of my buddies
