What did I do wrong?

Last night I expierenced my first trip on mushrooms. I injested this:
at 11:30 pm.
Within about 20 minutes I was starting to feel the effects and they became strongest after about an hour and a half (1:00am) It was beauftiful, I was relaxed, calm, enjoying myself, and the music. At about 2:30am I decided that I would lie down. Before I did this I smoked a bowl (marijuana) in my glass pipe. At this point I still had music on and was in an even better state than before. The entire time my mind was all over the place, I would get caught up in these loops of thought that eventually spat me out right where I had started. I was enjoying the mental stimulation. After about 10 minutes lying down, eyes closed enjoying the thoughts and images in my mind. I decided to turn out the lights and as well, the music.
This is where everything went wrong. Without music and light, with my eyes closed I was left with only my thoughts. The funny thing was at this point I was thinking about nothing in perticular but over the course of about half an hour a series of patterned noises and even music slowly began getting louder and louder in my head until it was so loud and I began to feel sick. I opened my eyes everything was changing size, closing in around me, I couldn't focus, the sounds in my head grew louder and louder. I ran to the toilet and threw up (just a little) The next hour was spent fighting off the negative energy growing in my mind, and still to this point I have no idea what could have brought this on. I just wanted it all to end. eventually I calmed down with the aid of some calm music and I fell asleep around about 4:00 am.
Can anyone please help me understand what sent me into this bad trip? What caused my mind to do what it did? How can I avoid this in the future?

hmmm.. the only i can recomend to you is to not fight against anything.. mushrooms cant do you any harm.. so just go with the flow even if the flow isnt going with you ^^; try again.. perhaps a day trip would be better.. out doors are great on shrooms! good luck

Thank you for the advice.
One more thing, can anyone give any insight as to how all this tension just began building in my head, after 2 hours of having a magnificant trip?

I have never tripped on shrooms before, although I will be in the near future thanks to the help of the great people here at the shroomery.
But anyway, I would think that the sudden change of no music and light would be the obvious answer. This may not be so for experienced trippers, but since it was your first time you probably found it hard to deal with I guess.
Like I said, I havent experienced the great shroom trip before, but I would suggest next time, that if your feeling so good with the music and light, then keep it on for a bit longer if possible.
I dont know if that helped at all.

Yeah. It took me awhile to figure that one out for myself though. Now it's a mantra.

Dang, that doesn't even look like a gram. Either those were extra potent or you have a very low tolerance.

You kinda set yourself up for that one by turning off all the lights and music..if you don't give yourself something to focus on, it will all turn inward, and people are frightened by that. I know this term is thrown around a lot on here, but it sounds like you were in the first stages of ego-loss. It's a scary thing, but it's best if you don't fight against it. They won't hurt you, might as well just let go.

Yeah. It really was the lack of music. Trips can get intense if you have nothing to focus on but your thoughts. And that's not saying that music will remove thoughts; that's not what happens. But music will let you FOCUS on something else, and the music will kind of conduct your thoughts. It works alot better. All of the really wierd trips I've ever had were without music. All the great trips had music (except for one..but it had it's own reasons).
Music really does help. And if you turn it off, then I would probably just try to lay down and don't try to control your own thoughts at all. Don't talk. Don't do anything. Just lay..and trip.

once i tripped at night on my own in a room with no lights just music (nirvana) and my computer, i came up pretty quick on about 25g - 30g fresh. The first few hours were great, i was laughing at everything an anything, even it wasn't even remotely funny, but after the first 2- 3 hours things suddenly changed, i got scared, music started making no sense, nothing made sense, i couldn't think straight nor read. Then things got real fucked up everything echoed it was quite an it was real freaky and quite psychotic. after a while i threw em up *UN-voluntary* and then i stopped tripping. The thing about when i trip is that i get the buzz for a few hours but then the buzz wears off and I'm just left tripping with noting to full back on, such as empathy or any shit like that, it ain't good. The best thing you can do at this point or any any point is not to panic nor be afraid, that was the mistake i made, i got scared, panicked and got fucked up. But that was when i was alot less experienced. But like i say just don't panic and take it as it comes, theres no better advice than that .. The mushroom is unpredictable.

Smoking cannabis while shrooming can be very daunting for a first time user if you dont know what to expect...especially if severe depersonalisation kicks in. It can be heaven on the other hand if you can controll it. The advice given by others here is very good.
