Acid Mentally Eating Away At Your Brain?

On Friday I had my third acid trip. I tripped with 4 other people, 2 inexperienced and my friend who also was having his third trip. Well, everyone did 2 hits except me, I ate 6. Everyone was having a great time when my one friend who was doing it for the first time was kinda freaking out. He calmed down and it was great. Later though, he got hot and took off his shirt. He put it back on but he had one arm sticking through the neck part. We all laughed but he didn't know why. He finally looked in a mirror and realized. From then on he was all ticked out thinking he was screaming when he was silent and thinking he transcended reality. He's done mushrooms alot and had something similar happen once but it didn't compare to what ensued. He passed out after pissing his pants and he would come to reality and scream very loudly. He could only say a few names and words and one he kept repeating was the girl he loves. We had to drag him outside in the cold to keep from waking unneeded guests and it must have been 2 hours before he could talk normally again. The whole next day he was mostly silent and somewhat depressed, I'm not sure what happened but I've never heard of it before so maybe somebody knows something. Thanks...

It is possible that LSD brought to surface underlying mental issues, or maybe he just had a difficult trip.

I don't get where the eating away part figures in.
Bad trip, so my brain must be physically deteriorating? 2 hours is nothing. Bad trips happen. Once you learn how to deal with them, it becomes less of an issue.
He was probably upset the next day because he was embarassed.

No, I'm not saying it was physically eating away at his brain. I'm trying to convey the message that he literally deteriorated to saying 6 words max and screaming. He mentally fell apart, I've never had a bad trip and I don't know if bad trips happen like that or if you just get freaked out or what. I don't know what to make of it is all.

huH?
he just got confused for a couple hours
i doubt he deteriorated...im sure there was actually a shitload going on in his brain as all his subconscious came to his surface and he just couldnt figure out how to organize and deal wiht it...that plus his emotions getting out of hand
and hes quiet afterwards cause he's probably got a lot to think about now.....
dont see what that has to do with eating away his brain

I believe this I was lost and confused and didn tknow how to help myself, I feel its just setting and how you feel at the time of the trips influence. I never had a bad trip after 3 lsd trips, 2 shroom trips, and 2 mescaline trips untill the third mescaline experience, which gave me a bad mentall fuck rather than frightening hullcinations, just have to realise its in your head and getting upset over nothing is making things worse. Sure its hard to take in at the time and feels almost impossible to escape that reality but take it from me you have to just "know" and understand and make yourself believe your safe and everythings ok and have a good time and even if it doesnt change your mood just know that at one point you will be sober and sane again but dont focus on time it slows it down unless your stimulated but even then bad trips make you focus on the scary mind fuck and makes minutes seem hours and this only adds to the awfull trip, mind over matter, train your mind..to believe and there may be many other things that is causing the bad trip, try and find a solution otherwise you might just make things worse by complaining and not intergrating your problems into one understanding to fix your bad trip... just some advice but everyones different so my advice is rly irrevelant and to many is just pixels on a screen.

Oh it's never a bad mental fuck. Can you say what you were processing was invalid or unworthy information about you and your perception of the world? In extream cases of denial durring trips, people can just go off on some crasy assed ideals and hallucinations.. of everyone being against them, alien portals being the front door to the rave... ect and so on.. hahaha.
In general a "bad" trip is the trip where you are going to learn the most about yourself and the world around you.. It wasn't eating away at your brain, it was eating away at your ego, that little illusionary, idealistic mask of yourself that is sooo very afraid to die.. but once you let it die it's like being free for the first time in years, decades.. your lifetime! Rebirth is scary, and it's difficult.. this is the point where you must decided for yourself if it's worth continuing.. if you feel there is validity and promise in continuing psychedelic use or if it's not worth it, you are just spinning your wheels and driving yourself crazy. I suggest having without distraction that long hard talk with your self and that ego thing that has "become you".
I'll tell ya, there is a lot of really good psychedelic therapy information out there. Seminars that integrate buddhism, shamanism, psychology ect, that can give you a better grasp on just what these substances are doing, and what they can do. I know I had to learn on my own and trying to understand these new ideals of self and existance and being in constranst with the way I was raised, in the world and culture I was raised was very confussing and frightening at times.. I seriously thought I was the only person that was going through or had ever gone through what I was going through on these substances, come to find out it happens to many of us and if we submis to the ride and look it in the face with honesty and respect it help us heal, opening up a whole new world, a whole knew appriciation for life.
OK, that's enough pro psychedelic phychobable... good luck!
PS. Read the stuff on erowid ect on how to handle yourself and others on difficult trips!!!!!!!! confronting him in the wrong way could of just exagorated the situation. It's essential to check some of that stuff out, there are many points of view, so read a few papers on the topic.

Well when I had a bad trip my ego wasnt disappearing my ego was in danger but its really something you cant label, everyone has his/her different experiences even though they maybe very similar or even exact. My bad trip was far from your explaination but I understand your pov since I had experienced that too.
By brain fuck I mean literally my brains mental thinking patterns were much like a ride that gradually slowed to a stop at the looney bin, much like forced or trapped into feeling/thinking the way I was thinking. At times I could relate it to a feeling that resembles something I seen on tv, a worm like creature that feasts off your brain, it honestly felt there was something else besides me and im not saying I was insane but I was dilerious and lost. I think there are many different effects of a bad trip but theyre all bad trips no matter how you look at them. I couldnt "control" my thoughts and emotions for hours, precisesly "1-4 consecutive hours" of utter ego change and lose of mental control.

It wasnt mentally eating at your brain - you were simply tripping.
However, LSD - and Psychedelics in general, do have a way of stripping away everything that can leave you in a very child-like or confused state. There has been times where the concept of chewing food has seem like something forgin and new to me.
For some people, thta freaks them out and they react badly. They keep trying to figure out how to relate 'this' reality that they are in while tripping - to their normal reality - and they start to freak out.

As has been said, something that needed to come up, came up. It happens, and for me, that is why I love psychedelics. It brings out all that burried, repressed shit. Yes it can be uncomfortable, but the pay off is usually worth it. Regarding bad trips, they get easier as time goes on. The more you have them, the less they become an issue. At first, they are totally mind bending, and can leave you fucked for a week. But, usually they are only the result of being scared of a bad trip. You know, fear of fear. Altough really, the more you have them, the more you realize that they are beneficial, and I have come to welcome them as much as mind-blowing, transcendental, I am the cosmos kind of trips. Therefore, as a result of welcoming them, the fear of fear no longer seems to apply. You begin to approach the whole tripping situation with complete equanimity. Long breath is long. Short breath is short. Good trip is good. Bad trip is bad. Which leads to, "there is no breath, there is no trip, it is all one man... whoah... "
Peace
