Is there anyone who can help?! I had a pretty bad trip about 4 months ago (see trip report - changed my life forever, level 4 reports) and still not feeling right - had similar feelings to the trip for a long time afterwards, and somethings still not right - anyone else had this, or heard of it? Any help would be VERY much appreciated, thanks!!!

Yes, I have a flashback every time I read threads like these.
Soon, someone will post: use the "search" feature.
Is this Deja Vu` or a flashback?....hmmm...

Will you post a link to the report? Maybe a drug interaction with ssri's (?) Seratonin syndrome- depersonalization- look it up on the net.

Seriously- You're a poster child for serious drug use-sounds like the mushroom ally kicked your ass.
You might try the catnip tea before bed & see if your nightmares go away

man that sounds like a heavy trip. a bad trip can really shake you up, but it will pass.
the best thing you can do is leave the drugs alone for a while and try to understand the trip. it sounds to me like you were fighting ego loss. your ego was getting ripped away, and when you feel your self is dissapearing, it genuinely does feel like you are going to die. naturally it scares the shit out of you. you've come face to face with your worst fear; death.
this is something all trippers have to face eventually, and the only way round it is accepting that you are going to die and letting it happen. of course, its only your ego that dies and you will come back as the drug wears off. letting go is a lot harder than it sounds, of course. you can either try to forget this for the rest of your life, or confront it again with another trip.
i'd recommend maybe in a few months when you feel better, tripping again but on a low dose. get yourself comfortable again with psychedelics, then build up the doses slowly and eventually confront this problem again.
but anyway, right now what exactly is still not feeling right? the best general advice i can give is to invest some time in meditation. the key to psychedelics is total acceptance, while you're tripping and after the trip. understanding and accepting is what you should aim for. meditation will help in this.

Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana

when I did shrooms on septerber 10 I was affected right up until the summer time dont worry it will pass and If you think you falling into insanity that will pass to try therapy and after a while of staying away from shrooms you almost forget what its like and the doors start closing a bit.

thanks for replys guys! well alsey, i cant really put my finger on it, but yknow when you just dont feel "right"? ive not had any panic attacks in about 3 weeks now, got onto the st johns wort (natural antidepressant) and its been good so far, but im still a bit off, just feel not with it a lot, and cant stop thinking a lot, like ill have conversations with myself but in my head, my consience, not like hearing voices or anything like that, but its still unconfortable yknow? just after the trip i moved countries and lost job everything like that, so maybe its even stress related somehow like the doctor rekons, but i know my own body well and usually things like that dont phase me. i think ive jolted my root chakra, so am starting on a lot of meditation and exercises to open the chakra again - i know what you mean about the acceptance, and looking back maybe that was a problem - after the trip i realised a lot, about our place in the universe etc, not really scared of dying as its only my physical being thatll die and not my spirit, but i just want to make the most of my life on this physical planet and its hard to do at the moment, its like a lot of trivial things bother me, big buildings, crowds people rushing etc, but i mean REALLY bother me lol!
im gonna have a long break from all drugs i think, and try be happy and fulfilled without any of it. as for being a poster child i dunno.....!

ps run rabbit, when you say you were affected until the summer, exactly what do you mean by that? what feelings did you have and was it only at certain times?

well I would be walking down the road and I would think is this how it felt befor the shrooms maybe it was totally different and I recked it.but know I no thats just mind tricks.sometime I would get a shroom feeling I was sitting in math class staring at the chock board and my teacher looked at me and I could almost see the room twist but it didnt actually I had to leave the class and walk the halls for a bit.It helps to talk with someone that has had this kindof thing happen befor and just remeber even though it seems like it will never go away you will eventually move on

Yeah thats kinda like how it is for me so hopefully ill follow your lead and itll go away. was there anything in particular that made it go away, or did one day you just kinda feel "Normal" again?
The strangest thing was thaat for 2 weeks after i was fine, but then one night i got stoned on some hash and thats when it all began, casue it was like i was on the mushies again - very stange considering id been smoking daily for 3 years, usually 2grams a day, and then one joint completely destroyed me!!!lol! guess ill be abstainging from the herb for a while, unless it was some bizzare reaction to stopping smoking weed, anyone ever heard of that happening to heavy users whove stopped before?

The best way to get over the enduring funk of a bad trip is to have a good trip. Of course, I don't mean to jump right in, but after you've abstained for however long you are comfortable with, when your eager anticipation of tripping again begins to eclipse the fear from the last trip, you may want to think about tripping (low-to moderate dose) somewhere completely worry-free and beatiful and alone or with a few good people. Understand that a bad trip can really put you in a bad way for a while, but a great trip is always on the horizon if you approach it wisely.

well for about 6 months I was really paranoid and scared of how big the universe is and when I die it might all be over for ever and thaught that shrooms changed me for the worse but then I went on a trip to vancouver to visit my sister and I had the time of my life it felt like it used to and I relised theres nothing to fear.I think you brain goes into kindof a recoil after a bad trip
