What happened to me?
    #5854905 - 07/13/06 02:36 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hello all. Ok, so I have just lived through what have been without a doubt the most terrifying 8 days of my life. I am wondering if anyone here has any idea what went wrong. I have only taken shrooms one time before and it was 10 years ago. At that time, I had taken only a very small amount made into tea. I tripped lightly for a short period and came down unharmed. Also, I have done what might be called a ridiculously large amount of acid in my day, sometime 3 to 4 times a week when I was doing a lot of it, but have not taken any hallucinagen in about 5 years. That is until 8 days ago, the 4th of July.
I was partying in and drinking in the parking lot of the annual Blues Traveler show with a bunch of friends when a friend of mine whom I will call Bob bought some mushrooms off some folks a couple cars away. I ate two of them and my other friend whom I will call Joe also ate two. Bob ate the remainder which amounted to probably 15 or more mushrooms. They were very long white mushrooms which resemble what I have seen labeled "liberty caps" on this site but I don't know much about shrooms so I don't know for sure.
The shrooms took effect once we were inside the venue and and I immediately begam to feel unbridled panic for no good reason. The entire trip that night was terrible horrifying panic which came in waves and would calm down a little and then come back full force. I spent all night clinging closely to my wife, feeling I would go insane if I let go of her. The car ride home was horrific and I took tylenol PM to make me sleep because I was too wired and panicy to sleep once I got home (about 8 hours after taking the shrooms).
The next morning when I woke up, to my great horror, I found that I had not come down at all. I was still on this nightmarish panic trip and I had to go to work! Thursday, I had a job interview for a better job and I went to it tripping balls! I got the job, actually (weird). Friday I made the doctor fit me in that day and he said that he had no idea when it would end and it might last months or years... He prescribed me some anti-anxiety pills which helped a little. Joe (who had also taken two mushrooms) was also in the same state. Bob, however, who had eaten much more, was completely down from his trip by the end of the night we took them. Tuesday, the trip went away completely at about 1:00 PM for about 4 hours then came back full force. It went away again yesterday at about 5:00 PM and has been gone ever since although bouts of anxiety which are obviously remnents of this trip have been coming and going all day today. It is now 2:20 PM. I don't know if it will come back.
This is terrifying me just to write this but I wanted to know if anyone had answers. I will be curious to know what others have to say.

Wow! I don't know what to say except that I'm sorry that you;re having to go through this. Also that that Doctor was a dick!

It sounds to me like the anxiety just stuck with you after the trip because it was so bad during it. I had bouts of this as a kid of twelve when faced with moving away from my place of birth. I thought I was going insane. Sometimes I would be fine, but mostly I would feel like I was loosing my mind, but could still function fairly well if I had to. After getting it off my chest to my Parents, it dissapeared.

I mean I'm no expert, but any drug should have been out of your system a long time ago and HPPD(I can never get those letters straight) doesn't give full blown tripping effects. (I don't think, more like little remnants of a trip. Once again, I'm no expert though)

Sit tight. Someone with more knowledge than me will come along soon.

Take care and hang in there.

here's a thread that kinda goes along with what I was saying. Do a search for HPPD and/or flashbacks and it may help ease your mind some....

It would be extremely rare if you were "still tripping" the next day. What it sounds like to me is you became so paranoid and stressed out, and it carried over the next few days. You know these substances are broken down in the body and do not keep you tripping on end, correct? Your Doctor sounds like a moron. Nobody trips for months or years. What he might have meant was that if you experienced trauma as a result of the trip, you could experience PTSD for that amount of time.

Sorry but this sounds like another horror story meant to scare people.

Perhaps if it were laced with Bromo-Dragonfly I could see that happening?

But I think it would take a while to come on as well, and he said it came on fast and hard. Sounds like you just weren't prepared.

Concerts aren't the best place for mushrooms unless a) you're crazy or b) you're experienced and can handle your shit

I dont think the doctor meant that the mushroom trip would last for months or years. What he probably meant is that this state of panic attack/anxiety could end up lasting for that long.

Anxiety attacks in themselves can be a bit of a trip and very disorienting in their own way. Now, combine having a terrifying mushroom trip being the cause of the panic attacks and the lingering effects, its quite possible that the mind is doing a bit of association of the panic attack with the sensations you get tripping and causing periods of flashbacks/etc.

I think some people on these forums are too quick to discount the potentially long-lasting negative effects of psychedelic substances. Just as a positive trip can have long lasting and perm effects on a person, a terrifying trip can have long lasting negative effects - and this seems to be one of those cases.

Its shitty that you are going through this, the best you can do is try and manage it and minimize the effects and start finding ways to cope with it. See your doctor again, start taking anti-anxiety medication as a start (but not as a perm solution), and start finding ways to cope/deal with the anxiety and over time it will hopefully start to go away.

Thanks for the responses. I am doing much better these days. The last major episode happened Tuesday and have not had anything I would call major since then. I am still getting periodic anxiety attacks but nothing like tripping and not to the degree that it had been. I think I am getting better. I tried yesterday without my anxiety medicine and it went well until about 3:00 PM when it cam eon again. But it was only mild with a few tripping like phenomenon and the major part went away within an hour although the lasting brain cloudiness from it lasted until I went to sleep and was still there this morning. I went back to taking my meds today and that seems to be going away.
Thanks for all the info and any more to come. I think I am coming out of the trees now, albeit slowly.

Take Care

Hello again. This problem is still going on! It has been happening for over three weeks now and I really need some help. If anyone has any advice or has had a similar experience, please post. I really want to know when this will end. he Lorazapam seems to keep it mostly at bay the majority of the time but sometimes it doesn't work very well, and I haven't yet figured out out the best times and doses to take of it. Plus, I'm running out. I went without the Lorazapam Tuesday and it was terrible! I'm terrifide of running out as I have no refills. I am probably going to call a psychiatrist today to see if he can prescribe me something. I know it is just drug effects, but I wish it would end. This is way too long! It is effecting my work and my life.
Anyone?

ideas??

I can't help you unfortunatly, but I would like to say a few words...

There seem to be some ppl here that are quick to throw off any claims of negative long lasting effect from psychadelics. I think that is extremly unresponsible and unmature.

A friend of mine who had a few years eating a bunch of acid had a major trip which she didn't come down from for over a year.
She had to smoke weed every morning to ease the tripping enough to get through the day. After a year it gradually started getting better.

This is the only case I know of personally but a friend of mine has told me of many other ppl he has met with simular experiences.
I don't think it is as uncommon as would like to be thought and psychadelics are indeed dangerous substances.

There must have been an issue that must have been bothering you during the trip . . eg. a reocurring, terrifying thought that was probably revealed to you during the trip. Doors unlocked by pyches don't close except with ignorance . . so you should confront the issue that's bothering you and causing you anxiety and realize that the mushrooms are not the cause of the problem and everything is in your head.

Sorry to hear about your problem, I,m not going to try and say
what it is, or its not. Things have a way of affecting some
people, that don't happen to other people, because we are all unique.
Good luck man, I hope this problems straightens itself out. :thumbup:

yes if i were you i'd try to meditate on whay happened during the trip, try and find for yourself the real root of this issue. understand that the drug is no longer having any effect, and anything abnormal you are experiencing is linked to what happened in your MIND while the drug was active. re-integration of the experience is the most important and valuable part of the trip; if you weren't able to do this properly before try again now, but it may take some time. 

if only it was legal to study these substances for the last 20 years, we might actually have some more understanding of these kinds of reactions and how to treat them! who knows if dosing with a small amount again under supervision would help you reintegrate or make things 3 times as bad??

best of luck to you mate; there's no damage done just some crossed wires, normality is not an impossibility :smile:

Dude, do you ever consider that people have Acid flashbacks? Think about it, you said you went through a period with high amounts of acid all the time, maybe tripping off these shrooms which might have been more potent than you thought, brought back your memories of your acid trips.
A brain never forgets the state its in under the influence of anything, I've only done shrooms twice and I have flashbacks all the time when I smoke a fat bonger or two, but its nowhere near as intense as it sounds for you.
My best bet is to just try and chill out, I think the guy before had a good idea with his friend smoking a bit of bud, it might help you mellow out, don't go for a full high just in case you start tripping, just smoke a smaller bowl and see if it helps.
Good luck man

shrooms will show you the truth about yourself.

apparently you cannot handle what you were shown.

do more research before you do big boy things.

take some ecstasy and talk it out with someone.
