I'm going to join the afterglow crowd. After an acid or shroom trip I feel great for up to weeks later. It's like doing a clean operating system install on a computer. Everything feels so clean and concise.
Strangely enough I actually have an afterglow even if I have a bad trip. That is, even if I endure the terror of a bad trip I usually end up feeling like a million bucks afterwards for at least a few days.
I was actually highly surprised by this thread, finding that people actually experience a negative "comedown" after using the traditional psychedelics. I wonder if it has anything to do with the psychological state of mind that a person is in before tripping. While I myself consider myself to have a great happy and wonderful life, it seems that many users on these forums complain of issues such as "anxiety" and "depression". There could very well be some kind of underlying link between these "disorders" (I prefer to call them personalities) and how people feel during a comedown. If depression is in fact caused by an imbalanced brain chemistry then the afterglow/comedown binary may shed some light in this field of research.
You have awoken my inner scientist, we must conduct a study!

I did shrooms a few times but everytime the comedown was pretty crappy. I will get dissapointed and want to get back up, after a couple of hours I notice everything around me still has a trippy vibe. It's not really reality anymore and I get the feeling the trip changed my perception forever and I basically feel turned inside out and secluded from everyone else, overthinking everything that happened. I think I'm extra sensitive to psychedelics because a normal shroom dose has lasted 8-10 hours before I came down completely...

The awful and grueling comedown is the main reason I dont do LSD anymore.

For me it's usually just the fact LSD takes so much out of you. I generally trip at night... with mushrooms I can trip, come down in 6 hours, still be able to sleep that night and feel amazing the next day. With LSD the trip is 8-12 hours, highly stimulating, and there's no chance of sleeping that night unless I drink myself to sleep. Usually I just end up going the night without sleep, feeling exhausted and spaced out for a day or two afterwards.

The sleep factor is a main issue. Most people trip overnight and then do have jetlag. If you start your trip in the AM then you'll feel less lag time after.

This. With acid, I've found noon to be the perfect time of day to dose.

Have you ever tried melatonin? It usually helps me out with post-trip sleep difficulty.

I wouldn't consider coming down from LSd to be, well, a comedown. It's just like ........woah.... for me. I'm really content and spaced out. WHen I get home after a day of tripping I just curl up in my bed with the blank slate that is my mind and I just lay around for like an hour or two till I can fall asleep. I wouldn't consider it to be a negative thing at all. It's always just like..........woah.....

i think it's grueling. Headache, stomach ache, joint aches, cant sleep, melatonin doesnt work because lack of melatonin isnt the problem, trouble eating, trouble going to the bathroom, etc, etc.
It makes me feel like an alien who cant be supported by earth's atmosphere. that or Im a really old man or have parkinsons or cerebral palsy or something.

I feel sorry for you. I don't know what I would do if acid did that to me

when I get negative symptoms from LSD comedown, I find smoking tons of weed helps.
I think dosage can have a lot to do with the extent of the comedown. If I only take like 1-3 hits, the comedown ain't much, but if I take a 10 strip, I'll be kinda wrecked afterwords.

IMO weed is the key to having a pleasant LSD comedown. It makes all the difference in the world.

I've had that many times. For me, weed is an amazing potentiator no matter what I'm on. I can trip on acid and when I'm coming down if I smoke, I'll be right back in the trip again.
Smoking on the comedown of shrooms is a different story, it always brings me higher than the peak. That combo is ridiculous. Plus I tend to speed smoke when I trip and that always gets me in trouble.
Timing is key though, if you wait too long it brings you back up but much more mellow.
