friend of a friend took a medium dose of mushrooms 2 full days ago, has not come down

So you'll have to bear with me as I'm hearing this all second hand and don't even know the guy. The story is in the title for the most part, took 4 grams, is not a first timer. Seems to be coming down very slowly but is still up there enough to be scribbling gibberish. Been two full days since he dosed.
Nobody involved knows what to do, only thing I can think of is to take some sort of antipsychotic, but I know nothing about such drugs.
Crazy that this kind of thing can happen, any advice would be much appreciated. I mean imagine if this happened to you or somebody you were tripping with O.o

Jesus that is some scary stuff. Are you guys all right? 
Sounds to me he triggered some sort of psychotic episode. If he seems to be coming down, that is good. Give him plenty of fruit and water. Yoghurt and fish are good, too. And take him on walks! It does wonders for the brain.
If it doesn't look like he gets better, an anti-psychotic would be the thing to dose him with, yeah... and if that doesn't work, man man man, he's in serious trouble and needs medical assistance. But only call the hospital as a last resort, he might just be processing a lot of things right now and needs all the support and love he can get.
Good luck man, I'll check this thread tommorow again. Let us know how it goes!

Yeah I really wish I could be there with the guy, I very much agree with your proposed course of action. But the decision on what to do with him is totally out of my control and they talk like if its not better by tonight they're taking him to the hospital
I hope I can at least talk them into giving him CBD oil before that, which is an anti psychotic.

Lots of milk might help. When i ground up my shrooms and mixed them in chocolate milk, I didn't trip at all. When I looked up why, everything I found talked about milk being a natural anti-poison.
I also hear xanax is a trip-killer, but I have no experience with that, I don't mess with those and couldn't recommend it cause I don't know. Could be worth looking up tho.

I think not talking to him like he's crazy might be a good start.. I know sometimes these things get blown way out of proportion and just make the tripper feel worse/crazier..
Not enough details tho to really say anything..

I hear you zzzz
I'm talking to somebody who's at least one friend closer to the situation now and it sounds like it may have been blown out of proportion.
I think possibly the effects have been extended by drug interactions and he's merely coming down slowly.

If someone is displaying signs of psychosis, or still tripping 2 days after they ate mushrooms...I don't at all see how drinking some milk is going to help .
Even while one is tripping...drinking some milk isn't going to do a damn thing.

HE NEEDS SOME MILK.
Jk milk obviously wont help. tell him to drink alcohol. It effects GABA similarly to xanax and other benzos which people use to kill trips.

Definitely give him a Xanax or a klonopin or a valium or some sort of benzo. 
If he's adopted a messianic narrative or starts talking about God and demons and angels and things, he's having a schizophrenic episode and you need to call 911 to have him taken to a hospital where they can give him real heavy duty antipsychotics to snap him back to reality.
In the meantime, just try to get him to take a benzo and see if some rest and a benzo gets him back to normal.
I tripped for weeks and weeks when I took a quarter sheet of LSD, I definitely had a schizophrenic breakdown. People didn't tell me I was acting crazy until I ended up in the mental hospital. Try to gently convey to your friend that the appropriate amount of time for him to be acting like he's on drugs is over if you can, and see what kind of response you get.
"These mushrooms worn off for you yet, man?" "How's your trip feeling?" Something like that. It's important to figure out what his mind is hung up on. If he's forgotten that he took drugs and now he's just sort of lost, he might need medical attention. Does he have a family? Have they interacted with him at all, and how has he responded?
Really sorry to hear op about your friend, man. I know how it feels to get stuck in a forever trip and I hope he comes back to reality pretty soon.

The psychosis will go away eventually once he realizes where he's at and it wears off sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks, this is why it's important to have people that know what the fuk they're talking about around not panicked idiots.

Hmm time heals your advice on fish and walks is honest but I guarantee the guy will be fine in less than a week.

In my experience and research mental illness is caused by too much trauma/negative imprints which has imbued the mind which so much fear that it becomes disturbed in it's thoughts and identity. Psychedelics can bring up this trauma which then needs to be dealt with.
The cure is really creating peace of mind with meditation, feeling the fears/trauma to release it and to rest as the still consciousness that you are instead of going with the thoughts and delusions all the time. Charles Whitfield is a good psychiatrist to learn more about this.

I've just read this thread.....what's the latest? The benzo idea sounded quite sensible; a hospital is quite likely to administer something like this if they get somebody in who is majorly tripping out. Things might improve after a good sleep, especially if someone has been awake the entire time....
I think some cases of this sort are basically a drug-induced manic episode which may last for a few days, after which the person is fine and has no further issues (i.e its due to an unusual reaction to a trip rather than any particular underlying mental issue).
An interesting example where someone can be batshit crazy for a few days and then go back to normal is here - I've linked it before because it's a good story!
LSD psychosis aftermath "my multiple day descent into madness"
Anyway I hope the friend-of-a-friend is slowly coming back down to earth.....

Grim stuff been through similar a few times always been the sleep dep thats made it worse and because I was so fucked I couldnt sleep and the longer I stayed awake the worse it got destructive cycle. Diazepam always the best answer for me and does a fucking damn fine job of stopping a trip in its tracks for me.

O think he needs some medical assistance. I am a noob but that long is ridiculous. I indulged not nearly that much but, it still sent me off into another world. I had a bad trip over 3-4hrs and that was unbearable. I cannot imagine days like that.
