May have had a seizure -- shrooms to blame?
    #20986440 - 12/16/14 08:05 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

The gist of the following tale is that I had what I was told was seizure the other night while I was on shrooms, and I'd like to figure out, as best as possible, if the shrooms were indeed to blame and to what extent there is a danger of this recurring.

From the beginning, with all the variables covered:

I went to see some concerts this past weekend. Night one, I drank a healthy amount of beers, had a nice trip, smoked a tiny bit of pot, and got a few hours of sleep.

The next day, I had lunch and drove by myself to the next city. I stopped at a beer store/bar there and had about 4-5 beers starting at about 5pm. I went to my hotel, had another beer or two, summoned Uber, and got to the venue by about 8 pm. Recommenced drinking beers and started taking shroom capsules by probably 9 pm or so. I had brought at least 15 with me, at 0.4+ grams each, and gave away 4 to some other people but, over the course of the night until around 1:30 am, consumed all the rest. So a little over 4.5 grams, I think. These are potent shrooms (I can get pleasantly high off just 2 capsules). I also had some caffeine pills with me and I took at least two of those. At around midnight I also hit someone's vape pen. I think it was wax or oil (as opposed to flowers). I continued to drink beers until the show ended a little shy of 2 am.

I remember the concert ending, and the next memory I have is being on the floor right by one of the exits with people surrounding me. They said I had had a seizure. I could tell I'd bit my tounge and lower lip. I was very confused but I kept telling these people I understood what they were telling me and that everything was fine. Then, I go out of it again and the next thing I know I was standing, looking at a woman who was talking on a phone asking me how old I am. I started to answer and then said "wait, who are you talking to?" I knew it had to be some kind of authorities. She said "I'm calling an ambulance." I insisted I was OK and verified when she asked that I was denying medical treatment. Another woman urged me to go outside for air, which I did. I leaned against the building for a while, scared and shaken.

Soon I went back inside to thank the employee who was there looking after me and also collect my credit card at the bar. I was still shook up but was able to talk reasonably coherently to the people inside. I went back out, pulled up Uber and got my ride back. I was, again, impaired but not unable to communicate with my driver. I spent the next few hours at my hotel room trying to make sense of what had happened.

I have no history of epilepsy. I did faint once in high school after being struck on the knee (doctors speculated a pressure-point situation) and then I had a seizure that they think was because I landed face-first on the asphalt; subsequent brain scans were negative. The only other fainting spell I've had was about 11 years ago and was likely due to overheating. No seizure then.

So, I'm now left wondering:
- What caused me to collapse? Again, the factors could include: fatigue, drunkenness, caffeine, dehydration, body heat, undernourishment, marijuana and of course an unusually (for me) high dose of shrooms.
- Did I in fact seize? That's what the people were saying, but most of them seemed rather fucked up themselves. Would there be a difference between seizing and other forms of spasm or convulsion? Could the seizure (or whatever it was) have been caused by my falling (as seems to have been the case in high school) rather than inextricably related to it?
- Am I at risk of repeating this incident, and if so, what might trigger it? Just mushrooms? If so, any amount or just a recklessly large amount?

I have no problem taking an indefinite break from mushrooms in the wake of this, but I'm sure it won't be long before I would like to consider myself not permanently retired. I do not, however, want to worry that the next time, or any subsequent time, could result in the same episode.

I've seen a few reports around the web of people experiencing seizures with shrooms, and reputable sources confirm this risk, but it seems to be mysterious as to what the risk factors or subsequent risk levels are.

Thanks!

Damn man hope you don't go through that again.

I would say fatigue would have something to do with it because the same thing happened to me but I was sleep deprived and on some LSD. No history of seizure at all so it scares me.

Thanks A2. Did this only happen to you once? Have you replicated any of the conditions since, i.e. taken LSD or shrooms again?

Yes only once and that was two Fridays ago. I have been taking it easy ever since then as I don't want to put any additional stress on my body but I do have some mdma waiting to be taken.

It was odd, my girl was with me and we were standing in line to see a show. I suddenly became very hot and got tunnel vision, my hearing went out and that;s all I remember. My girl said my body gave out, had a 3 second seizure and immediately stood up confused. Funny thing is those three seconds felt like 3 years and I felt pure blissful ignorance, a feeling I remember having only as a child.

I want to do some more psychs but Im kinda freaked out.

I should add that I kinda freaked myself out mentally prior to this experience.

Have you tried replicating the conditions yourself?

I haven't. This was just this past Saturday. My next plans would have been New Year's but I'm not going to force it. I think I'll actually go see the doc on Monday just to see what he thinks. Can't hurt.

Sounds like you had a grand mal seizure. The electrical activity in your brain gets out of sync. I have had two of them before from alcohol withdrawal.

I went to the hospital both times and got put through a battery of brain tests. Even the brain test with all the different electrodes taped to your head.

These can make you full retard in the blink of an eye. Serious business. You really should have got checked out right after, but you cant go wrong seeing a doc at this point. 

You can even lose your drivers license indefinitely after one of these if they spot some really bad abnormalities. I think your in the clear now and I'm not trying to scare you. But I think the key here is excess in moderation.

I think you just did a little too much of too many different things in such  a short time span. I would just take it easy and don't go apeshit like that again. Please don't go full retard on us.

Seizures are scary. When I have mine, my oxygen levels get dangerously low and I end up needing medical attention. Ill say things I won't remember, while semi unconscious.

Scary shit.
