afraid of lsd

if the intro is boring you, skip it
so, i'm 18, soon turning 19 i first tried a good dose of lsd, when i was 16 i enjoyed it a lot, no bad trip, no anxiety, no paranoia i started taking it more often (about every second week to every month) i also did shrooms every now and then, that time and i smoked weed daily (started with 15, still doing it now) so i had my first bad trip on too much cubensis mushrooms, i wanted to commit suicide, but it just lasted about half an hour to an hour and turned into a beautiful trip again i cut back the shroom consumption and stuck to acid, since i thought, that it is safer than shrooms i had 4 real beautiful acid trips the following summer (05) on the third one i met god, my sightfield expanded infinitely, the boarders were broken up and i swam in the divine ocean of infinity, it was really beautiful then in september i took one hit, which was not as strong as most previous ones, but it was not weak either on the comeup, i thought of something, which i didn't like, some social bullshit and suddenly the whole trip turned into the bad direction everything went evil i was at a free party and i tried to get away from all the people i found a spot where i was alone and after a while of jumping around, putting my clothes off, putting them on again, talking to myself, hectically looking up and down and forward and backward, i was getting calmer again and went back to the people i was still a little paralysed, but i was feeling well again so i didn't use acid for 3.5 months and at new years eve from 05 to 06 i decided to give it another try i first hate half of a geltab, the effects were to weak for me, so i ate another one and a half it started off like the bad trip before that, anxiety etc. but soon turned into a very beautiful trip after about half an hour 3 months after that i had one lower dosed acid experience, which was quite boring, not good, not bad as i felt my brain getting strange, my rhetorics getting slow and dull, my selfconfidence getting less and less, and my thoughts getting stupid (i mainly thought about myself, had a major egoproblem at that time, feeling like total shit the one day, and feeling like the king of the world the other day, it got better now, but i still have some of that ego bullshit from time to time), i decided to stop acid consumption i didn't take it for nearly a year then i got hold of one hit, and thinking of my previously experienced bad trips, i decided to start with a veeery low dose, so i ate about 1/4 of that hit it started very positive, laying in my bed (i was afraid of doing it with other people, still having the previous bad trips in mind) listening to music i decided to eat another 1/4 and went for a walk into the woods, which was fun too i went home and ate another 1/4 and listened to music again, which was also very nice so i really enjoyed the trip and thought "haha, how can one have bad trips on a nice drug like that", and i tried to remind what it was like to have a bad trip, and in this very moment, some force "behind" my brain, which i couldn't control, pulled me back into the utter, slimy weirdness, i had experienced on my previous bad trips at this point, i was 100% sure, i would never turn back to normal i ran through the house, screaming, jumping up and down, looking up and down and forward and backward and to the left and to the right and to the front left and the right left and to the left backside and to the right backside (looking around was the only way of preventing myself from the total madness, if i looked at one spot longer than one second, my head seemed to implode, i call it "psychotic headache" i thought about calling the ambulance, but i decided to wait i drank a glass of water, smoking a cigarette, constantly telling myself "it's ok, nothing happened, calm down, it's ok, nothing happened, calm down, etc. etc. etc." it started getting better i stroked my cat, which calmed me down i listened to some music again, and i was happy to be kind of normal again i decided to find some sleep, which was very hard in the beginning, because the psychotic headache kept coming back, if i was looking at one spot longer than a second, so i moved around in my bed, till i fell asleep
since that "event", my respect for that drug is higher than ever before on the one hand, i love it, on the other hand i'm scared to death i would LOVE to do it again, i got the chance a couple of times, the last couple of months, but i never dared to
so, my question is: WHAT CAN I DO TO DO IT AGAIN WITHOUT GETTING THE PSYCHOTIC HEADACHE??? is there any sort of mental training, that i can apply, to at least control the experience a little tiny bit? do you think, that, if i take it again (regardless of the dose (i actually believe that higher doses are less dangerous), i will return back to "normality" after that? believe me, i would LOVE to trip again i would give anything to experience at least ONE "successful" trip without getting the psychotic headache?
thanks in advance for answers (and please don't tell me not to take it again)

well. make sure your in the right area.
DO's:
-areas of nature -lights (bright scenery) -anwhere with dull socialness (not a lot of people/cars/noises) -open areas
DONT'S:
-parties -more than two friends around -frying around people who ARENT frieng (they will fuck with you)
umm, also (im sure youve heard of it) get ahold of a low dose of XANEX everytime you plan on frying. that way if you get stuck in the bad trip mode. pop half a XANEX bar and youll calm down relitivly quickly.

xanax?
btw,if you are afraid of it,dont trip. Ever ridden a horse? if the horse feels you are afraid of it,it throws you off its back. same here.
so unless you trip with the intent to face your fears (which is very beneficial imo), clear your head first

how do i do that? sounds like a hard thing to do usually i can't stop the thoughts going on in my head, no matter how hard i try, no matter if i'm sober or tripping
do you think that doing a small line of mdma or speed or drinking a beer before the trip could help me tame down the mindfuck?

meditate before your trip bro, i swear by this, meditate for about an hour before your trip and just try and put all of your problems out of your head, and go to your happy place, and if your trip turns bad just start meditating again,
one more thing, if you are triping DO NOT even think about have a bad trip just chill out pretend the world is a happy peaceful loving place,
goodluck bro i wish the best for you,
peace out Dm

I agree with dm here,I also reccomend meditation to clear things up, but not just before the trip. Start meditating a couple of weeks before the trip.Start with 5mins twice a day,and then gradually increase the length of your sessions.
Also try to have a healthy diet,lots of greens,olive oil,orange juices etc...
Just remember that your mind is the most powerful thing in the world.

I always figure that the good and the bad of any trip are from the mind of the individual who takes them.
instead of passing off your bad experience as a "psychotic headache" i think you need to figure out what it is in your mind that is causing the effects.
Its not the acid in itself because if it was EVERYONE would get them.
Also what is it that causes the anxiety?
you shoudl remember to not allow any negativity, media hype, religious or social guilt take hold of you and sit down and analyse what exactly is it that you are afraid of. DO you think you're "never gonna come down" because surely you shoudl KNOW thats a myth. You shoudl be aware that although it is YOUR mind its the drugs that brings those things out and once its out of your system it will be gone forever.
Havign said that I think it would be good to have a trip partner. SOmeone you trust COMPLETELY and best if you care about them a lot too. That way you can actually work out any issues and discuss things if you dont feel capable yet of facing them by yourself.
Always remember how LSD is non toxic and that after a day you'll be fine. try and go for day trips so that you get a good nights sleep afterwards.
HAve faith in your own mind and the fact that you have free will and control it. you just need to remember that and use it. You're minds a powerful thing and its YOUR mind, no one elses, not the drugs, not anything but YOUR mind. Its not an extrernal force, just simply a part of YOUR body.
hope any of this helps!
It may be different if you were talking a drug which makes you forget you've taken it but Acid and shrooms aren't like that!
Good luck!

I agree with John Smith, just clear your head and everything will be fine. If you go into a trip worrying yourself oh my god I hope I don't have a bad trip, its most likely to happen. Just don't worry and don't have any doubts and everything will be fine. Your mind is very powerful you just need to control it not let it control you. Like for instance i'm going to see Widespread Panic and on one night i'm taking shrooms and the other acid. Although i've never been around that many people let alone a concert tripping before. I don't have any doubts and no worrys so everything will be fine. I also make sure I plan everything else out ahead of time so when i'm tripping my face off I don't have to make very crucial decisions i.e. friend to drive me home.
-------------------- Spread the love and always remember to be at peace with yourself. Namaste

It's easy to be afraid of acid when this is the embodiment of all your trips.

i had something maybe like a psychotic headache on a real strong trip.
i had to lye down on my side, because on my back made it worse. so maybe try lying on your side for a bit and it goes away, well for me.

so, i'm getting some lsd soon however, i'm still so afraid of that substance! my concern is not, that i will have a bad trip my concern is, that i will turn insane forever i have kind of a sensitive psyche, i think a lot about things (mostly useless) and i've heard so many stories about people who did lsd a lot of times, and never had problems with it, and then one trip, they turned insane forever do you think there's something to it? or do you think i can safely dose acid again? my last strong trip is about a year ago can i make any kinds of preparation, that can assure me not to turn insane?

You shouldn't worry if you're mentally stable and your family has no history of mental illness. If that is the case however then you're at risk.

I would like people to be more cognizant of the lingering the psychedelic effect is characterized by lingering: all sensory signals all memory patterns all thought sequences all body feelings (pleasure/pain/indifference) all attitude masks or expressive routines
all the above are subject to lingering and layering. whatever starts will fade more slowly than in ordinary states of mind.
you cannot have eye-candy (layered colored sparkled vision) you cannot have geometric fractal and polyopia (repeat patterns etc) you cannot have enhanced sensation you cannot have these things without the lingering.
watch for it in all it's forms. make no distinction between good trip or bad trip. see the psychedelic effect happenning and while it is happenning, and be what is happenning without judging.

depends on what you mean by mentally stable and depends what you mean by mental illness there have been no cases of schizophrenia in my family, however my mother has the borderline syndrome, and a lot of other minor mental illnesses, like OCD (i have OCD too, btw) and she feels valueless and misunderstood, and thinks that the whole world is against her
i, personally, have no acute mental illnesses, but i have OCD and some compulsion neuroses, i think a lot about useless things, overanalyze anything ad absurdum, have depressions every now and then, i am pretty vulnerable to stuff, people say to me, i'm emotionally not very stable however, on a large scale, i would say, I'm OK i know, when my behaviour and my thoughts are not rational sometimes, i know myself and my weaknesses pretty well mostly, i feel pretty good, i don't want to commit suicide or stuff like that, but sometimes i get this strange feeling in my stomach, like you get it before a test in school and this feeling is one of the things, that disturbs me the most i don't know where it comes from, and it makes me go mad sometimes i'm excited about something, but i don't know about what nothing special is happening, and still i have this feeling in my stomach a lot of times so, i wouldn't say i'm mentally stable but i'm not mentally unstable neither, i'd say, i have a fragile and sensitive psyche do you think, lsd could make me insane, theoretically?

i feel much the same as you, i get very anxious alot when im tripping.... it cant be overstated how important set and setting are
be in a situation in which you would normally be able to have fun and relax, and make sure the people you are with are rock solid and arent gonna freak out
and like i said, N2O (nitrous) you can get a case of 24 canisters for less than 10 bucks (for whip-cream purposes) but i hear that it abolishes anxiety on a trip...which makes sense because its primary use for more than a hundred years has been as an anti-anxiety remedy (eg, dentists offices) i havent tried the nitrous, but people say its

while i guess this is technically possible, you shouldnt really be too worried about it, the chances of you actually damaging your brain are quite slim, and will happen because you freak yourself out, or terrify yourself, it wont come from the lsd, itl come from your mind
sorry, i could have fit all 3 posts into 1, oh well

i cant do lsd. everytime i think its going to be great but i always just go crazy. im guessing it comes from my grandmother
having something like schizophrenia. wen i do acid i get very real paranoid hallucinations. im just never going to do it again
because its just not for me. mushrooms on the other hand are like the opposite for me. they nonstop make me happy and in love with
everything. the only good acid trip i had was wen i ate half an 1/8 of mushies and then 2 hits of acid 30 minutes later.
idk why but acid just isnt for me

yeah man i gotta say, there are a lot of myths surrounding lsd. for one noone NEVER COMES DOWN from a trip. what can and has happened is people having psyhotic or psychological breaks. but even these things heal with time, if one is willing to confront and work on it via therapy and possibly medication. just go in with a postive attitude and when the fear starts creeping up try to laugh it off. harder said than done, and i have had some very odd and mindfucky terror trips, but even those ended pretty nicely.
enjoy
