My Experience: LSD Mixed With Psychiatric Meds

I take the antipsychotic Risperdal (1mg in the morning and 2mg at night), the antidepressant Wellbutrin (150 mg in the morning), and the dopamine promoter Cabergoline (.25mg twice a week). The last med, Cabergoline, is used to lower my prolactin levels which were elevated by the Risperdal. On Sunday, I took my morning meds but not my night meds and on Monday I didn’t take my morning meds on purpose because I knew that my meds could damper the effects of LSD.

I picked up my friend at around 1:00 pm on Monday and we drove over to my house. We stayed in my basement. Both my parents were home because they work at home. He brings out the LSD and I get super nervous so I say I’m going to wait for a while. We were playing Lego Star Wars and at around 2:30 pm I said I was ready so I took 1 tab which he said was 100 micrograms but we did not test it so who knows how much it actually was and if it was actually LSD. I took it sublingually and it was probably under my tongue for about 20 minutes before I swallowed it.

I pretty much instantly felt high but I was definitely not tripping. I was very happy and chatting a lot with my friend who was trip sitting me. I put on a Mac Demarco album and the music sounded very good. I first felt like I was tripping about an hour after I took the tab when I went to use the bathroom. I was light headed and I felt a lot of pleasure in my body. My friend suggests at around this time to go to a local trail that was only 5 minutes from my house so he drives me over there in my car.

The trail is usually pretty busy but since it is the middle of the day on a Monday I probably only saw a person every 5 minutes. When we started hiking the trail I got very weird thoughts. For instance, I thought there was a species in another universe that were playing as humans in a video game, and we were in that video game. I told my friend that I thought that when I started taking my meds, a different person started playing me in that video game and that is why I acted differently.

About 15 minutes into the hike (between an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half after I took the tab) I felt super lightheaded so I decided to sit down in the shade. I notice a leaf is floating and I start to freak out and breathe very heavily. This is when things got really bad. I got very overwhelmed that we had to walk all the way back. It seemed like an impossible task even though it was a very short walk. I try to get into a comfortable position but it is impossible. I felt completely disconnected from my body. It felt like I was way skinnier than I actually am and it feels like I’m floating every time I try to walk. I lie down a listen to music which helps a little. I say to my friend sometime during this that I think I am having a bad trip. He tells me not to worry about it.

I start freaking out and decide to take a pill of 2mg of Risperdal that I brought with me because it will stop the trip. This is probably an hour and 45 minutes after I took the tab. To my surprise, it does not work instantly. At this point I just randomly start moaning and crying but it only lasts a few seconds and then I try to get comfortable again. The cycle repeats a couple of times, I moan and cry for a few seconds and then try to get comfortable. My friend asks if I want to hug. We then hug each other for around 30 minutes. We would let go every time somebody walks by but I would get very freaked out during that time. The hug really kept me grounded and helped me not worry too much about having a bad trip. At the end of the 30 minutes, probably around 2 hours and 30 minutes after I took the tab, I suggest that we hug as we walk. We kind of just put our arms around each other and I had a hard time walking in straight lines.

During this walk I feel pretty happy and the anxiety of the bad trip goes away. We sit down on a bench and I get very cool visuals. The best way to describe it is that some areas of my vision would enlarge and some areas would contract. Everything was swirling together. When I closed my eyes I could picture very complex objects such as a guitar as if it were real life, which I can normally never do. I also get tracers when I close my eyes. Slowly the visuals stop and the trip fades away. By the time we leave the bench, which is around 3 hours after I took the tab, I feel no effects of the LSD except I have very little appetite and I get pretty bad cramps. This is probably because I took the antipsychotic.

A similar experience happened like this the first time I really got high on weed. I definitely want to try LSD again in the future, just maybe when I’m off all my meds.
