Low dose (0.2 - 1.75g) and anxiety
    #7876177 - 01/13/08 10:20 PM (16 years, 19 days ago)

I had a bad trip about a year ago, my first bad trip, and since then mushrooms just haven't been the same for me. I've tripped about 15-20 times in total, about 5 or 6 since the bad trip. I started off with 2.7 my first time and from then until I had the bad trip I'd do 3.5 or 4. I've only done 4 twice, the second time being the one that caused the bad trip.

After that I took a few months break from the mushies and I haven't done over 2grams since except once when I did 2.5 which was easily the best trip I've ever had besides the 4gram bad trip (my bad trips are always far more rewarding than the good ones). All of the others were in the 0.2 to 1.75g range, and with the exception of 1 which I was able to turn around halfway through (which was 1.75 btw) they were all just a confusing mindfuck leading full of anxiety. I just didn't feel comfortable no matter what I did. I didn't feel like I belonged in this body or something.

So I generally thought that I just had anxiety from mushrooms themselves in fear of another bad trip since then, but I also feel that maybe low doses seem to cause this. I would always have some come up anxiety of course, but this was never a big deal, usually passing within 10-30 minutes, but on low doses this seems to last throughout the whole trip.

Problem is, if I'm wrong in my assumption well then that would just lead to an even more intense anxiety ridden trip, or worse haha. I'm going to try it none the less I think, won't know until I do, but what are your guys thoughts, can anyone relate to this?

I find when going into a bad trip like that, just breathing deep and listing to some peaceful music turns the trip right around. I'm sure some people will say, Yeah right. But this is IMO.

What ever you do don't fight it or it will make your bad trip worse.

change your setting. and listen to some music.

also identify what makes it a bad trip before you go into it and try to avoid that.

if it's a person, avoid experiencing mushrooms with that person. if it's a place, dont go to that place, if it's a type of music, dont listen to that music.

pretty simple really, but sometimes you never know.

do what makes you comfortable. if you are experiencing a bad trip, do what you need to do to enjoy it again.

and dont do anything that might make you have to deal with police/anyone important.

wtf? dont fight the bad feelings? wrong move. The best thing to do is just clear your head, smoke a cig, take a bong rip, do some pushups, drink some tea, whatever it is that will calm you.

whenever i get bad feelings i always think to myself "I could be either on mushrooms right now, or not on mushrooms. Either way, my life would be the same, my past is the same, and my future wont be effected." This always work unless im trying to go to sleep. Because then i realize that the reason i took the shrooms in the first place was to have fun and feel good, not feel like shit. So enjoy it while it lasts, and remember that some shrooms is better than no shrooms.

Just go with the flow, dont focus on the bad parts of the trip.

Another good thing to remember is that these anxious feelings that you get are *perfectly* natural. That EVERYONE has bad trips, and NO ONE has a good trip 100% of the time. Sure there are those ball-busting perfect trips that are glowing happiness from start to end, but in reality, these are few and far between, most trips have good parts and tough parts. To me, its almost like a challenge to get through it alive, like a game sorta. Most trips, and you HAVE to come to terms with this (and the more you trip, the more prevelent this is), are going to have very sad/anxious parts to them. But just remember, the good outweighs the bad, a TRILLION-FOLD in the end.

benzos are a good way to get to sleep after a trip. i would never trip without benzos on hand just in case.

Those trips are fine every now and then, but I definitely would prefer to just have a great time more often than not, and the low doses I wouldn't say cause a 'bad trip' more so just a confusing unenjoyable trip that I get nothing out of. More often than not I'm left feeling slightly depressed for a few days after those kind of trips.

I always have them on hand, but I've never used them so far. I would have during the one bad trip, but I unfortunately did not have them at the time.

i've had some bad trips.. usually only because i'm kinda forced into doing things i dont want to do.  they're not bad.. they're just not enjoyable.. not because of the mushies, but because of the dumbass shit that other people do... and the weather (mushies when it's fuckin cold really sucks for me.. i hate the cold/wind.. even in TX it's pretty bad sometimes)

good luck with your future trips brah, it's time for me to sleep.. got class really really early tomorrow.  later.

also.. sometimes bad trips are ok.. they cause you to confront things which can be healthy.. so the experience might be negative, but the outcome is positive.  see what i'm saying?  you cant have the good without the bad.. :smile:
