Title: LSD side effects??
Post by: The_who? on May 15, 2013, 04:48 pm
Hey Guys,
A bud of mine and I have taken L a few times. After each trip, my bud complained that his entire left side of his body constantly tingled. The tingle continued after for a few days after each hit (low doses) and then subsided.
After our last trip, the tingling feeling (similar to pins n needles) did not subside. It has now become a permanent feeling on the entire left hand side of his body.
He has had various CT scans and even an MRI which did not find anything wrong with him. This was more than 6 months ago
The tingling is not painful but very uncomfortable.

Is it possible that the LSD could have triggered this tingling feeling??
Has anyone had a similar experience or have any advise?
We trip on low doses and our trips are only on special occasions.

Please let me know your thoughts??

hmm weird. I doubt lsd would of caused this. I would be more curious about the lsd he had. I would test it to see if it was real LSD or an NBOME or something. Even still i doubt it.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm no doctor but have done LSD quite a few times over many years and have done quite a bit of research into psychedelic culture. To the best of my knowledge, there is no mention in any literature (and it was a very studied drug) of the symptom you describe being associated with LSD. Nothing I have ever read in trips reports/Erowid/anecdotaly either.

Are you quite sure it was true LSD? (Don't mean to sound patronising BTW!)

Beyond the possibility of a different substance, it could be an underlying issue that the sensitivity induced by LSD brought to your friend's attention and he is now sensitive to it.

Pretty sure it's not the acid. There have been a lot of tabs down a lot of throats since Albert's bike ride and it has never been reported.

Hope your friend and the medics can get to the bottom of it.

Take care.

It seems like you've already seen some doctors about this, have you told them this happened after taking lsd?

Also, are you sure it was lsd and not nbome or dox or some other RC?

How much did your friend take? ug? estimate?

Anything over 1000ug gets you into pretty high dose territory and depending on a persons weight can make for an extremely strong trip.   

Acid itself wouldn't have caused the cronic tinglyness but during your trip your friend could have gotten a bt dehydrated a bit which can cause some negative long term effects, nothing that long term.

Anytime you take anything not matter how fucked up you get, you may not want to but make sure you stay cool and hydrated.

i took 3 drops christ L 2 days ago and i still have this pain in my arms and legs which i never encountered like that. It feels like it is pain in my veins. Also i had a rather strong headache at the end of the trip and the next day. I actually hope the headache came from laughing and overusing my brainpowers to much. Im really curious if anybody else had these problems as well?

Regards

Hey Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your input.

Just so you know, my bud is 48 years old weighing about 70 kg and is about 6 foot tall.
If anyone has heard of any of these symptoms PLEASE let me know.
Cheers,

Maybe he has a hypersensitivity to drugs in general. I know since I've gotten older, drugs (even allergy pills) have had more side effects than in my younger years. With me it seems to come in phases, a couple months even an aspirin will throw me for a loop. I also experienced the tingling on one side of my body after about 2 years of moderate drug use. (daily weed and cigarette smoking, other drugs every couple days: amphetamine, meth-amphetamine, lsd, mdma, DMT, Ketamine, shrooms, alcohol)

After I quit, there was about 6 months where one side of my body just felt different than the other. I went to neurologists, had some tests done and everything was ok. But I still felt funny, sometimes tingley, sometimes just off. I also started yoga maybe 3 months before I quit the hard drugs, and continued with that for about a year after.

Years later and I still feel a little, um, unbalanced? But its barely noticeable now. Never pins and needles. I'd be happy to compare experiences if you have any other questions. I just let it go after a couple months, I think doctors thought I was a hypochondriac.

The things that made me feel better were drinking plenty of water, getting lots of exercise, and eating healthy. Also I didn't know much about nutrition at the time so I made all my food from scratch. For some reason or another I just never added salt to anything. That was a problem, and caused some mental fogginess. Eventually I figured that one out thanks to a friend of mine.

b0m, thanks for your post.

I also ordered from JesusofRave some ToC liquid LSD, but I haven't tried it yet. I will try first with one drop to gauge it effects. It would be a bummer if it produces these nasty side effects... I will post once I've tried it, but I will start with a small dose.

good acid never give side effects.. just effects  8)

SR lsd = $10+. Real lsd costs <$1

Sad but true.
