Psychosis after LSD (Help needed)
#21706655 - 05/21/15 02:35 PM (8 years, 8 months ago) |

So I took acid with a friend of mine two days ago. He had a terrible trip and was convinced everyone in the room was making fun of him. He left in the morning and went to work. I saw him a couple hours ago and he has completely lost touch with reality. He is convinced he's being followed everywhere he goes and kept pointing at random people on the street saying they were following him. He completely melted down at work and got fired.
He has no previous history of mental illnesses that I know of. I know this kind of situation usually gets better with time but I am a bit concerned. Should I wait a few days and see what happens or should I take him to a doc ASAP ?

I've never experienced this with anyone before but you should maybe take him to a dr. before he hurts himself or someone else.

ive experienced this myself
they are called deusions of reference and your friend needs help
i never would have stopped believing in that kind of shit without medicine and therapy. it lasted around 5 months, although the last 2 werent as bad as it was in the beginning. just my experience though

It's already preventing him from living a normal life, so I'd say yes, get him some help.

Take him to a doctor before het commits some kind of crime.
Be honest about the drugs

I've definitely experienced delusions of reference, i would even say i frequently experience them except i don't believe them but more so humor the thought 
I go through phases of tripping every weekend for a couple months. Took a break from psychedelics, all the delusional thoughts go away. Glad i have enough hold on reality to not believe the shit my brain thinks sometimes.
You should get your friend some valium or klonopin so he can chill out for at least a couple days. I actually think that would temporarily take away these thoughts as it always did for me. Maybe this is just a short term thing, but if it isn't obviously he is going to need to seek professional help from a therapist and/or doctor.

if it lasts more than 24 hours, you should be very concerned. There is some limited evidence, that early medication can help people suffering from psychotic breaks/delusional thinking avoid more problems in the future (during the first break).
I've seen people be fucked up for a good while and be ok, and I"ve also seen people not be ok.

Any hallucinogen can cause psychosis.

agreed.
noone was concerned with me even though i had been awake for over 5 days. if someone had strapped me to a bed on day 3 and forced me to sleep with something, i probably wouldnt have spent 5 months feeling like i was watched and followed

Being pre dispositioned to psychosis does not equal causing psychosis.
No psychedelics have ever nor will ever cause psychosis.

i think you mean shizophrenia, its like, a pretty established fact psychedelics cause psychosis.
even assuming you mean schizophrenia,since they don't know what causes it, couldn't that argument be applied to anything that we don't know the cause?
You got cancer cause predisposed. You're poor cause predisposed, die young cause predisposed.
Saying psychedelics can't cause a thing that happens for unknown reasons seems pretty i dunno, cavalier. Especially considering threads like this.

im not trying to be some kind of drugwar fearmonger, but that is bullshit
there are plenty of people whos psychedelic use triggered psychosis. it doesnt matter if they were predisposed or not, because it wouldnt have happened without the psychedelics
ive read enough of first hand accounts by shroomerites to know that
