I used to sometimes get severe chills while on a heavy dose of weed. I'd wrap every blanket I had within reach around me, and be essentially immobilized for five or ten minutes (which would seem like twenty).

As for shrooms, it may have happened once during a bad trip. Still, I find that shrooms make me really sensitive to cold during the first half of a trip, and I could imagine getting the shakes if I didn't get the room warm and stay under blankets.

I'm not sure if your "muscle spasms" are the same thing. Unless you feel plenty warm when you get them, I would suggest keeping yourself warmer during a trip.

do you mean cramp up, if so which limb or where is the cramp.
or do you mean shaking like Parkinsons,
or quivering for no particular reason, and thata part of the body not coming to rest right away when you find it is stuck like that.

psychedelics cause trails and looping, which can also affect hearing, physical sensations, but they can even generate muscle signaling echoes or retrigered contractions - this can also happen with mood or emotions.

if it happens too me I breathe slowly through the positions, and the shaking movements smooth out after a while, and if I get a leg or foot cramp in bed I get out of bed and stand on that leg til it lets go.

sometimes if I have been holding a crayon or paintbrush too long, my hand cramps, and I have to take a break.

I’m not cold as I normally lay in bed underneath lots of covers on the come up and the convulsion seem to be my full body, my legs, my arms mainly and my hands shake
closest thing I can say is it’s like standing in the cold, completely naked

My wife tells me my body temperature raises quite high, she she can feel the heat just rolling off me so I’m wondering if it’s like when you get a fever you have chills

Muscle spasms are one symptom (among many others) of serotonin syndrome. Maybe look into that (just out of an abundance of caution) and see if any other symptoms you're having align with it. I think it's quite unlikely based on what you're describing, but the syndrome runs along a spectrum, and you could perhaps be experiencing a very mild case of it.

Just researching "chills on shrooms," it seems that getting shivers is not uncommon.

From https://myhealth.alberta.ca/alberta/pages/what-are-magic-mushrooms.aspx there's this:

Quote:
While taking magic mushrooms, you might also:​

    have high blood pressure
    have a faster heart rate
    feel dizzy or light-headed
    shiver and have the chills
    feel anxious
    have an upset stomach (nausea) or vomit
    have a numb tongue and mouth



With the flu one can have a fever (i.e. feel hot) while also experiencing chills, and in my experience bundling up until the shaking stops is the best strategy. Once the shaking passes you'll probably be fine and can kick the extra covers off for the rest of the trip. That was my experience with weed, anyway (though thankfully weed no longer ever gives me the shivers).

This may be consistent with your body feeling cold. Psychedelics can mess with thermoregulation. The shivers are caused by muscles rapidly contracting and relaxing, which quickly builds up heat that may radiate from you and be palpable to others. If this is what's happening with you, then you want to hold that heat in with extra blankets, and not let it radiate away.

Oh, a couple hours? Yeah, that's not something I've personally experienced. But then, if the shivering/spasms are causing your trip to go bad after 5 or 10 minutes, then a psychological factor may come into play.

Though you're probably already aware of this, but consideration should be given to whatever medications you're on that may interact adversely with a psychedelic. Certain antidepressants, for instance.

The only health problems I have is I’m a type 2 diabetic and slightly high blood pressure so I don’t think there’s any medication in any of that would cause interactions with psychedelics

I THINK I OVER STATED A COUPLE HOURS…. My wife says it was about 40 minutes
I started watching Toy Story 5 and i hade taken the trazadone before the movie had ended

Back my younger days, I used to trip when I had a cold just because I was young and wanted something to do on the weekend. Some of the worst decisions I ever made for sure.

At the time I lived in Utah and during the winters it would get below zero but home was not a place I could trip so I definitely felt the chills then too

Try moving around when it happens.
I used to get this a lot and went into uncontrolled shakes a few years back.

When it became an issue I stopped taking mush but when I started consuming again made a point if staying mobile on the come up.

Do to the nature of psychedelics it's kind of hard to pin down what the source of that could be... Almost every physical symptom could be manifested technically while you're tripping, if you freak out hard enough.

It could all be various other things like supplements or other medications that you're taking.

When this kind of thing usually happens to me it's usually some outside factor contributing that causes it. Also, for me, every trip can be seemingly random as far as effects, visuals, body sensations, etc. One trip I'll be burning up hot and will have to take off all my clothes while I'm coming up, and the next I'll feel like I'm in the artic tundra for 45 mins.

Crazy story: a couple friends were tripping with one of my friend's girlfriend's brother, who had never taken them before. I decided to tripsit because I had done my fair share lately, and I didn't really know the guy. He was insistent on taking a huge dose but I talked them down to two grams of cubes. 2 hours in he started screaming that his hand was swelling up, and I ran over there and sure enough his hand looked like he had been stung by a bunch of bees or something. Strangely enough his arm wasn't showing any signs of swelling. I didn't really what to do, other than to try to calm down the guy before his panic spread. I told him it was completely normal, and to just breathe and focus on something else and it should get better. I figured this would at least buy us some time to try to figure out what was going on and if we needed to take him to the hospital or call an ambulance. Sure enough after 5 minutes of diverting his attention somewhere else his hand's swelling went down! He didn't have any other issues for the rest of the trip. I've seen a lot of people have weird experiences and effects on mushrooms, but I have yet to see somebody psychosomatically manifest swelling again 😂.

I am amazed that you managed to talk him out of a histaminic reaction.
that says a lot about you as a calming person with a healing personality. (rare)!

This is good advice! I have found that to help most of the time. If I'm feeling uncomfortable I'll get up and move to a different area, or just go on a short walk (if it's safe).

Yeah this sounds like good advice, after about 20 to 30 minutes I couldn’t hold still anymore so I did get up go walk around the house and walk outside which was very nice because the weather was perfect and it was a nice temperature to cool me down which helped out a lot
Oh my God, the visuals were so insane it was the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Everything was pixelated to the point where I could barely see.

I haven’t mentioned i had 2.5 grams of Hawaiian pan.
How this happened as I had a MiraLAX psilocybin test kit and a bunch of pans from approximately two years ago, I wasn’t sure about the strength so I did a test on them and the test said they were about half what they were when I first pick them
So I was thinking .75 of a gram is what I normally do so I’ll just double that with a teeny bit extra which was 2.5 g total.
I won’t make that mistake again they kicked my ass

Just :2cents:

I use the shivers/muscle spasms throughout my body as an enhancement to my exercise program

I know this feeling very well and I know is going to happen anyways,  so I choose to Channel it into elevating my workouts



I do this regularly (once every week or every two weeks) so I know what to expect...

and walking on the treadmill (or any form of cardio) combats any feeling of coldness
