Combinations - Adderall and Ritalin's affect on LSD

[Adderath]

Suppose SWIM used either adderall or ritalin. How long should he wait to take LSD as I've heard that these prescription medications lessen the effects of LSD. Also, does anyone know how much these medications might affect LSD? This same person got a hold of some acid and took it. He didn't experience hardly any visuals, but experienced nearly all of the side effects of acid. He didn't know whether it was bad acid or if it was just the ritalin he took a couple days before he tripped. If someone could answer my questions, it would be very appreciated.

Taking Adderall or Ritalin shouldn't have suppressed the visuals from LSD. They are both out of SWIY's system very quickly, taking either one of them the day before or even during the ingestion of LSD should have negligible effects. My best guess is SWIY got bunk LSD. What exactly does SWIY mean by "experienced nearly all of the side effects of acid?"

[Adderath]

The person that took it had large pupils and would have random panic/paranoia attacks. He also told me that when he layed down to relax, he would once in a while get random muscle spasms, sometimes involving his whole body. He had a very good amount of jaw clenching as well. As this person has had a fair amount of ecstasy prior to this, he can definitely tell that he was clenching his teeth a lot. And in addition the the panic/paranoia attacks, they weren't so much as panic/paranoia as they were extremely unusual bad feelings about other people, etc. No matter how much he knew that he had nothing to worry about, he still was paranoid about certain things. The person has also had some experience with mushrooms and their "spiritual" aspect. While he was on this, he thought clearly and straightened out many things in his life. He laughed at EVERYTHING. For the entire day after he took it, everything seemed funny to him. And finally, if it means anything, the acid was in powder form, the person supposedly was too lazy to press it into microdots :P

MPH intensified the effects of LSD for SWIM.

[Desertfox]

it was not lsd if it was in powder form because a dose of acid can barely be seen with the naked eye. that dealer was loading you a crock of shit.

[INodHardOhYeah]

SWIY needed to mention initially that they had taken a good deal of E prior to this. The symptoms SWIY is describing match the comedown effects of E, so basically SWIY got bunk acid and became nervous, twitchy, anxious, when SWIY started to comedown after the ecstasy.

[Adderath]

My friend wasn't on E at the same time, I was just saying that hes had experience with a few other drugs. But thanks for the help guys.

SWIM made the mistake of combining the two and the result was hell, a wasted trip. Don't mix Ritalin and LSD.

^^^ Can SWIY elaborate a bit? How was it hell? Why was the trip wasted?

More information please

Powder? As previously mentioned doses of LSD is in the microgram range, and a visible amount of pure LSD crystal would likely send SWIY off into hyperspace.

Basically, SWIM takes 10mg Ritalin in the morning. An hour later he dropped a full hit of LSD. SWIM thinks the combination made his heart rate dangerously fast as well as causing hyperventilation. As soon as SWIM came home he started to shake uncontrollably, feeling an VERY intense body discomfort (much worse than LSA) and incredible nausea. SWIM had puke around 10 times or more. So SWIM was in so much pain that he couldn't concentrate on the other aspects of the experience. Marijuana didn't seem to help at all.

This lasted for about 4 hours, at which point SWIM gave up and decided to take 6mg Ativan (lorazepam) to kill the trip, and it worked.

SWIM made a big mistake, he's a small guy, but it doesn't mean this combination is not dangerous. SWIM won't do it again, that's for sure.

Swim could imagine that taking adderall/ritalin right before the trip or during the come-up would be pretty unwise. However, Swim has taken it as the trip plateaued and found it to be very insightful and not a bad combination after all.

[Pachanoid]

SWIM will have to apologize because he left out an important piece of imformation: SWIM had been taking lithium for about a month, and in fact he took two lithium pills the night before the hellish experience described above. So maybe SWIM actually had a problem with lithium, not ritalin.

A week after this experience, SWIM had not taken lithium or ritalin for 4 days and took another hit of a different blotter. The result was a very unremarkable trip, with little effects other than a slight body/brain buzz which lasted for hours. No visuals, no insights. SWIM suspects it was the lithium that made his trip much weaker.

However, SWIM thinks SWIsmiz is right and would advise against about taking ritalin before the trip.

[smiz]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but, isn't lsd/lithium a possible lethal combination?

[eltimmy]

>So maybe SWIM actually had a problem with lithium, not ritalin.

Bingo.

Lithium is well-known to react very badly with LSD, dangerously so.

Indeed, the psychostimulant could have exacerbated the existing problem.
