im having periodical tension/pressure like headaches after i used lsd ~80 hours ago.Headaches are at back and sides(mostly only back right side)of my head.Blotter was 240ug, it was my 3rd time using lsd, both times before i used blotter from same sheet,and i used them 3.5 weeks and 2weeks before this experience(supplements i should take?), but this time was waay waaay more intense with out of reality visuals and psychedelic experience of what i would call level 4 trip.I drank some champagne and beers night before, 2 beers that day, and smoked pot and tobacco before and 2 times into trip. Headaches started mid-trip,around T+5:00, but that is only a guess.I drank plentiful of water, couldn't sleep that day. Some more info? Any ideas what i could do before i visit doctor?Should i visit doctor?

Tripping puts your brain in overdrive.
Hell, trying to concentrate reading can give me headaches ^^
I've read of a few people getting headaches after acid. I'm going to assume it is down to the individuals genetics, dehydration, impurities in the LSD or unrelated entirely.
I don't know a great deal about supplements but I used to take 5-HTP for some of my more bingey MDMA weekends. They help me to regulate my appetite and sleep (2 things usually FUCKED after an MDMA binge).
I don't know if 5-htp would directly help as acid doesn't directly effect serotonin (correct?) but it does act on the same receptors. Maybe someone smarter can help you further.
My advice would be stay hydrated and rest up as much as you can.

Have you in the past or any relative had migraines? Try drinking a cup of coffee and see if they go away. Stay away from the alcohol until the sensation is gone. Try and relax, darkness, quiet if possible.

I tend to clench my jaw during stressful trips which often leads to severe headaches the next day. I started taking magnesium supplements to combat it. Bananas, proper hydration, and neck and shoulder stretches all help too.

Ive had headaches during and shortly after acid trips. But nothing like 80 hours. However, I id have a headache for about a week after and nbome trip.
Not saying that what you had was nbome. Just throwing in my experience. It's always wise to evaluate your situation if you are suffering from a rare symptom.

I haven't had migraines, don't know about relatives, at least not heard of it, but headaches are starting to slowly disappear. My eyes are pretty sensitive to light, trip did happen at night so it could be that my eyes were even more sensitive next few days. Another interesting thing that i have noticed is that i remember some dreams after sleep, usually i don't remember dreams, only few times in year if those are intense.

It's not because of impurities.

Do you know what you took was actually LSD?
You're probably just dehydrated....and/or there is some other underlying cause that has nothing to do with you tripping, and you just so happened to have got a headache around the time you tripped.
LSD can cause a bit of tension and constriction of the blood vessels, that combined with dehydration can make for one shitty head ache. There's been a few times I've got a headache towards the tail end of a trip with L, and it usually felt like dehydration with a bit of tension. There's no particular supplements I'd suggest for ridding a headache, some zinc/magnesium wouldn't hurt though...Get down on lots of water, get some salts/minerals in your system, some cannabis, a good meal, and a shower, that usually fixes things right up. Some green tea is something I'd also suggest.

What sort of "impurities" are active in micrograms? What can lsd be cut with? Why would someone cut LSD with something that would cause headaches?

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong...but strychnine is not involved with, or a product of, the synthesis of LSD. Even if someone wanted to lay tabs with nothing but pure strychnine, not a whole lot of it can fit onto a tab. And people cutting tabs with a highly toxic substance, why?
Come on, think about it, none of that even begins to make sense.
Quote:
"The observation of strychnine as being present in any street drug, as a by-product, or a contaminant, or an impurity has never been documented. It is a natural plant product, as are the ergots which are used in the synthesis of LSD. But they come from totally unrelated plants; there has never been a report of strychnine and an ergot alkaloid co-existing in a single species. So if the two materials are together in a drug sample, it could only be by the hand of man. I have personally looked a large number of illicit street offerings and have never detected the presence of strychnine. The few times that I have indeed found it present, have been in legal exhibits where it usually occurred in admixture with brucine (also from the plant Strychnos nux-vomica) in criminal cases involving attempted or successful poisoning.
The same argument applies to the myth that occasionally surfaces, that strychnine occurs in the white tufts of peyote. This is equally fraudulent -- it has never been reported in that cactus or any other cactus."

Tryptan drugs can cause a side effect for those prone to migraines, rebound headaches, when they wear off. They can last days/weeks. Good thing is, that another dose should make them go away Someone mentioned constriction of the blood vessels, as with tryptans, the reason they work so well in treating a migraine...
