"Acid/LSD/Trip
What might happen to me (mentally & physically)
Don't be surprised if you get hallucinations - its all part of the fun!
Peak = 1 hour - Whole trip = 4-8 hours
Please take acid only if you feel in high spirits before hand, this has a lot to do with whether or not you get a 'bad' trip.
Physically I felt a bit de-hydrated at some stages (probably down to eating too many sweets though).
What side effects 'It' could have on my condition
Sleep patterns can be disturbed
Regular use of Acid can cause future 'flashbacks'
It is not advisable for diabetics to trip too often, sometimes insulin intake may be forgotten about or ignored - not a good situation.
It is not advisable to trip regularly anyway - too much LSD can trigger mental health problem.
Whether I could hypo or not
Acid/LSD had no effect on my bloody sugar levels. A lot of diabetics who take acid tend to omit their insulin intake for the trip, my advice : DON'T! Take your insulin (maybe a few less units) eat a healthy meal, and carry sweets/sugar/coke throughout the trip. I realize that the thought of a hypo while under the influence of LSD isn't very pleasant, however your insulin intake is essential in avoidance of DKA.
While you are tripping you generally loose your appetite, a good idea is to drink sugar filled drink, such as coke/pepsi to keep your sugars up.
It is better to have short term high blood sugar than low blood sugar, and a lot less stressful.
What precautions to take if anything goes 'pear-shaped'
Remember : Sweets are essential pocket material. Carry something sweet at all times - **** you should know this being diabetic. If you feel giddy/dizzy or feel a hypo come on DON'T PANIC, Its cool, just munch away at your chocolate bar and you'll feel fine in a few minutes.
If you feel that your are heading into a bad trip, reassure yourself that it is the drug that is making you feel the way you do - nothing else. Just sit back and relax into it, concentrate on the things that make you happy. I found that the nicest thing to do if I felt at all bad was to think about the lyrics to 'strawberry fields' by The Beatles, bit bizarre but it worked for me.... might for you!
If you get a panic attack (heart beating at an alarmingly fast pace for no apparent reason), practice slow breathing techniques, you will feel better if you get into a rhythm.
It is advisable to have friends around you that know & trust, and you should always tell them that you are diabetic in case of any problems."
