Experiences - Disconcerting Triggers Occuring Over LSD Trips?

[Dalfir]

Has anyone else experienced the phenomenon of the same uncomfortable thought patterns recurring over a number of trips? With each trip, getting more detailed and explored?

SWIM's second LSD trip was very intense and overwhelming with thoughts of permanent psychosis. His first LSD trip was incredible and euphoric because he was naive to such thoughts.

Third LSD trip had tinges of fear that he'd be spending the rest of his life on anti-psychotics, because of an overwhelming sense of de ja vu and finding excessive metaphor in mundane events and occurences (opening a soda can had a world of meaning) that became distracting. He was able to bypass these thoughts and not allow them to a trigger a trip like the last one and have a pleasent, beneficial trip.

Today he had 2g of P. Cubensis shrooms at home. His first time tripping at home, because he thought it'd be a comfortable and predictable environment. There was the initial euphoria and visual distortions that lasted about 15 minutes, then when he tried to plug his PS2 into his TV, he found the task absolutely daunting and exhausting.

The euphoria soon left as did the hallucinations and he was left with jumbled thought patterns. Once again, finding meaning and symbology in the meaningless and having an intense feeling of de ja vu. He was pretty sure that he'd need to be put on anti-psychotics, because the shrooms had caused a psychotic break. This was probably because of the fact that he felt none of the euphoria or love that he normally does on psychedelics and he was getting bored, nothing seemed to satisfy him.

Eventually the effects tapered off and he felt a lot more level-headed, but he's feeling a bit of apprehension about using psychedelics again in case the feelings that have carried over from his second trip intensify and maybe do cause something detrimental.

He obviously has a fear of going insane.

Is his mind maybe telling him to watch out, or is this just something he needs to get over to fully enjoy himself?
