it has been 2 days since i took LSD for the first time, and at certain times ive been overwhelmed with depression. i dont want to do anything i normally want to do and have been very suicidal. before i thought i was depressed because of certain things but have not ever experienced as much sadness as this. im wondering if it will go away after a while or if there are any solutions to make me feel better. :\

Did you have a problem with depression before you experimented with LSD? If that's the case, you may have very well opened a can of worms that may require you to seek medical attention. Depression isn't something that should be ingonred or self remedied. Go see a doctor. Tell him you're depressed. There are many medications that can help you overcome depression.

It's not the best idea to take psychedelics in the midst of depression... it can make things worse. Psychedelics are powerful and can fuck with your head... chances are it will go away in a couple days. If it doesn't... seek medical attention.

Regular doses of 5HTP, more exercise and an improved diet i find is the best way of alleiviating depression, much better than anti-depressants in my opinion. But in the case of acute depression, go see a doctor as medication maybe a better alternative.

Start excersizing and try taking 5htp are both good ideas. It will probably go away.

When i trip, after i peak and have my fun, usually when im just chillin n enjoying the comedown, ill get 'trapped' in thought circles and become overwhelmed with small problems and shit that im sure im just blowing outta proportion. one time after one of those nights, i only got maybe an hr of sleep and the rest of the day i felt very depressed, BUT i had taken a small dose that morning before i left, so it probably didnt help. Ive never been depressed when im totally sober due to a drug, my only guess would be that u might have had some issues that concerned u before u took lsd, and like it has been pre-mentioned, u might have just opened up a can of worms. It will prolly go away soon, and once again as mentioned, a small lifestyle change can make u in a much better mood more of the time, but if u cant get urself out of it then do seek medical help, theres no shame.

hey send me some LSD in the mail. but, do this- snort a xanie bar right when u feel ur self coming up. itll make you less anxious and paranoid. since ive never done lsd before, i cant say if the effects will be as subtle as they are with shrooms. last time i did shrooms i ate an 8th and snorted a bar, it was a really nice trip. like maybe u might want to drink a beer or two to help you relax. cuz a bad trip can do alot to you.

I've never had a depressive day(s) after tripping. I generally still feel a glow for days.
The only negative after effects (and this was on my first acid exp.) were due to sleep deprivation. I think sleep dep has incredible effects of the body and mind and is largely responsible for comedowns/after effects of amphetamines.
Crowsnose, I'd suggest approaching drug use very carefully. A clear sober (and not depressed) sense of reality is so often taken for-granted...
I hope it doesn't happen again for you.

I've done acid, shrooms, and salvia several times, and something like this did happen to me once from shrooms. I had a bad trip and it kind of rattled me for a week...
I didn't want to do shrooms for a long time but I eventually got back into it. Speaking of that, I haven't done em in about 9 months... I will be soon though.
