Had a seizure while tripping

I'm thinking about tripping again but I'm a little worried about it. Last time I tripped I ended up having a seizure and it really freaked me out. The thing is I'm still not really sure what caused it. I understand you guys can't give me a definitive answer on the exact cause of the seizure but I was hoping I could get some of your opinions on the matter. Here's a little bit of backstory.
I've tripped several times before on various psychedelics and never had any problems with them. Around the time of my last trip (about a year ago) I was prescribed Klonopin and was taking 6mg a day. I didn't really like taking them and decided to stop. I went cold turkey not knowing how dangerous it actually was to do that. It had been about a week without taking any and I was hanging out with some friends of mine when one of them told me they had some 25i. I bought two hits and took them. During the come up everything felt fine but about an hour into the trip I ended up blacking out and having a seizure. I still don't know if it was the detox or the 25i that caused the seizure and I'd like to hear what you guys think might have been the cause of all this.

Mixing drugs is bad unless you know what you're taking and their combined effects.
I once took cold Tylenol and a couple sleeping pills and stopped breathing in my sleep. That was a hard lesson I learned, lol.

Vasoconstriction can cause fainting and seizures. LSD and psilocin cause vasoconstriction. Use tonics and stay hydrated, take a theobromine supplement before hallucinogenic indulgences (it is a vasodilator). Maybe there is something wise in the traditional mushroom tea and mushroom chocolate (tea and chocolate containing theobromine). This has helped a friend of mine immensely.

It was probably the 25i, dude.
Seriously, nbomes have one of the worst reputations for a reason. Stay away from that crap.
The 1 time i took it, sold to me as LSD, my head felt like a literal piece of bacon on a frying pan.
That shit is evil, in my opinion.

Sounds like you had a siezure caused by benzo w/ds. I've been there man. Heroin an valium used to be my drugs of choice for a good 4 years almost everyday. Now I take LSD on average of 1 time per month and I've not even once had a craving for any.opiate OR benzo. Psychedelics can do wonderfully positive things if that for the right reasons.
I would suggest not to stop cold turkey on benzos especially because you do run the risk or death/siezure and about the worst sickness next to opiate w/d you'll ever endure.

After that experience I'm never touching that shit again. I was skating at the time too. Luckily I wasn't in the bowl or anything like that when it happened. Things could have turned out a lot worse.

I'm completely off the benzos now and kudos to you on beating your addiction

I've take NBOmes a few times, and each time it made me feel like I was about to seize any moment. It's not too far off to believe that the NBOMEs played a major role in your seizure.

In all honesty I think it was a combination of both but I'm sure my next trip will go smoothly. It definitely won't 25i though

Nbomes are an extremely dangerous group of drugs and can be fatal in very small doses. They cause all kinds of bad shit to happen.
I'd steer clear of them and if your trying to find a reputable LSD dealer, buy a test kit...but seriously...nbomes are garbage

So do you guys think if I decide to trip again it will result in another seizure?

It's really unknown man. I'd be careful about one happening, but I'd stay away from nbomes as they really can cause seizures.
It could have just been a one time thing. But stay safe man

I think it was a coincident it happened while I was tripping. I had never had any seizures before the benzo detox and haven't had any since I got it out of my system which was a while back.
