Bad LSD trip left me with odd symptom
    #26439704 - 01/18/20 06:28 AM (4 years, 11 days ago)

Hello Shroomery,

First off wanna really thank this community as it has helped me and educated me alot since experiencing the tough trip. I also want to point out that I have had 2 acid trips before the "bad" one which went fine so it was not my first time. Although set and setting was much more respected during those two. My age is between 26-29

So about a half a year ago I had a really tough experience in a trip. Set and setting was not optimal as I was hungover, out in a cabin in the woods of with 3 other dudes whereas I only knew 1 well. We took half a tab, think about 75 ug, and of course we took another half after being inpatient and not feeling the first one did it. Before trip really started I found a tiny roach and took 1-2 puffs off it and thought it couldn't have any major impacts on the trip.. And of course it was after that that things started to turn uneasy for me. I started getting a really uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. I was the only guy who took some puffs so the other guys did not mix acid and weed like I did.

Long story short, things really started to spiral out control after about 3 hours and the trip went from normal to really really wild and I definetly lost control of my sanity. Ego Death, loss of self, anxiety skyrocketing, loss of memory, out of body experience, hearing colours/seeing sounds and at one moment I saw a devil looking creature with horns and tail with one of those hay forks. I am not saying all of these experiences were interpreted as bad, I knew they could happen. But the climax of anxiety since I was not 100% comfortable around all the guys I tripped with, that has most likely scared me a bit since then. After the trip was over, I was obviously quite chocked but also started to slowly get my mind back but remember I had thoughts that I would need to be checked into a mental hospital when I get back to my city.  Another thing that I did not remember in the trip, but was told by one of the guys I tripped with was that I when losing my mind in the trip I had a childish sounding voice saying "Who am I?" possibly numerous times.

I am by nature a person who thinks ALOT, and has been classified as a INTP when taking that test, I don't really buy into it and don't think there are only 16 personalities out there but I identified a fair bit with the description of the Logician (INTP). I have throughout my life been swinging from very confident to less confident and I also have kind of stolen personality traits from people around me or from movie characters. I have not thought too much about it before, but I guess it kind of signals I do not know myself very well and is a bit lost from time to time. However I have always thought that you are a product of your environment and that you see/construct yourself through interaction with other people, so subconsciously I would pick up on virtues and traits from others around me, and most likely vise-versa, nothing too unusual in my perception.

So I know now in hindsight that I never should have taken the psychadelic due to not strong enough mentally, but it happened and I can only do my best in working on myself from here on and the the whole experience has actually put me on a course where I live a much healthier life and also where I have educated myself a ton about psychadelics and the whole world around it. So it is not all bad. Sleeping was really tough for a couple weeks after the trip, and I did not lay of the weed right away, but since 2 months I have not smoked any weed. I had some flashbacks when smoking weed after so for sure I am staying away from it now. Sleeping now is alright but I have noticed that right before I fall a sleep, my mind is kind of tripping a bit and starts to kind of talk by it self and construct weird sentences that I am not controlling, a bit sketchy but I have also read about a lot of people experiencing this and kind of interprets it as a tell that I will shortly fall a sleep after it starts. I also have some muscle spasm that I notice when going to sleep.

SO to really get to the reason I make this post is that since the bad trip, I have been having a physical symptom which is a strong bounding pulse that can be seen or felt on many parts of the body. It is the worst on the arteries on the back of my head when I try to sleep as it beats against the pillow. I think it has something to do with my central nervous system or "fight or flight" being out of balance. The parasymapthic nervous system (the one that calms down) and the sympathetic nervous system (fight). Whenever I drink caffeine, alcohol or have a heavy meal the pulse beats harder. It also beats really hard when working out or running. and this SUCKS because I know working out and running does wonders to the mental state. Also experience a pressure at the back of my head from time to time. And obviously all this is making me think negative thoughts, being hard on myself and have a harder time being present and content with life as it goes.

FYI, I have both had my blood pressure tested, taken a blood test AND had a MRI on my head and the results were all normal.

I am really trying to cut out all stimulants that has effect on the central nervous system but living like that is REALLY hard. I have read some posts where people strongly recommend to do lots of breathing exercises, go vegan, stop caffeine/tobacco but it is almost impossible for me as I have lived my whole life with animal products, coffee/tea, chewing tobacco etc. Even when I have cut down a bit, the pulse is still there.

SO what I wish to hear is from someone who might have experienced the same pulse symptom and have been able to make it go away or have any advice in general.

TL;DR - Had a really bad acid trip, became more anxious but it has slowly gotten better, but is stuck with a bounding pulse that makes my stomach bounce, and beats across the arteries on my head and neck, and is really taking away a lot of enjoyment out of my life as I keep thinking about it. Anyone who is familiar or know how I can tackle this, I beg you to leave some inputs. I try to cut out stimulants as alcohol/caffeine etc but it is hard, I have cut down but have not noticed a major difference.

Thank you for taking your time on reading about my experience, I wish I knew myself better but I know I have the power to get more in control of my life and myself. I am staying positive and remind myself that things could always be worse. I have never been on anti-anxiety/depressants and I would like to never take them, but if they can help me with my pulse symtom I will take them.

That's bounding pulse sounds a lot like heart palpitations. I've been there.

You'll have to look into it for yourself why you are experiencing this. If it's anxiety you need to stop putting drugs in your body on a daily basis and learn to chill the fuck out. Meditate, be one with yourself, all that hooey. It really does actually work.

I went to see a cardiologist as I was quite concerned. He gave me valium to help get over the spiraling anxiety because of the heavy pulse when trying to sleep, and basically told me what I just said to you.

Best of luck.
