A forewarning, this post might be a little bit all over the place. I'm in a very weird state of mind right now, and I'm not really sure what's happening, or perhaps more worryingly, what has happened over the past two days. I am trying to put the pieces together and work everything out - but in the meantime, I want to get some experienced trippers/other people to shed some light on the situation. So, without further ado..

The saga begins on Saturday night, with a friend and I deciding to have a somewhat belated New Years celebration. We first had some shots of whiskey, then a few cones of weed - and then we each dropped two [very good] rolls. All was well until we decided to go to another friend of mine's place. When we were there, my friend offered to sell me a tab, saying that it was acid. I figured what the hell, and decided to drop two. Bad mistake. Turns out he either ignorant, or was just fucking me around - and it wasn't actually acid, but it was rather DOI.

I'm still unexperienced with the finer points of acid, and have only tripped once or twice. I have done DOI once before, but the experience before was nothing like the trip I had this time - in fact, it utterly paled in comparison. My last trip on DOI gave me very intense amphetamine body feelings, and only very minor visuals - not enough to even consider it tripping, but rather just a general change in perception. This time, however, things got spooky. I entered into a state that was unlike any other I had been in - a state that words cannot do justice for. Like a very introspective, dream-like state, coupled-in with extremely evident, almost overwhelming amphetamine high.

After entering into the dreamlike state, I lose all memory of the night. The next thing I remember is waking up in hospital, wires attached to me and machines beeping. I was, at this point, still tripping slightly - but this was not like the dream-like state as before, but was just some minor visuals - such as the tiles on the ceiling moving, and I'd occasionally feel fingers running up my body [even though nobody was touching me] people's voices also became jumbled, and became incoherent.

I don't remember this, but according to the doctors, I started to freak out, and badly - they had to pump me full of Valium to calm me down, and also something else [not sure what] to stop my heart from beating as quickly as it was.

I've been discharged from hospital now, and have since slept and showered up. I'm still feeling rather dodgy, but at least I'm out. I can't remember much, if anything, about the night - even still, but after talking to my friend, apparently when I was tripping I was unable to walk or talk, and that I would stare blankly at objects or people for large durations of time. Also, after talking to my friend, I found out that over the course of the night I had had 9 pills [only two of which I remember taking] as well as the two DOIs..

My first question is, after taking two hits of DOI and a total of 11 pills (the original two, plus the extra nine) I feel quite shitty. On my release form from the hospital, the official problem was "amphetamine over-dose/amphetamine psychosis" [not sure what the correct medical terminology is, but you get the point] - the doctors didn't really explain anything to me, just got me good enough to leave and turfed me out - my heart and chest are hurting, even now, almost a day and a half later - is it possible that I'm sustained any long-term damage, or will these pains subside?

Secondly - am I ever going to remember what happened that night? Is there anything I can do that will help me remember? I was, and still am, worried that I have done something, or have said something to my friend - and he's just not saying - because I keep getting flashes of me hurting him and yelling at him - and that was one of the initial thoughts in my head upon waking up in hospital. Are these 'flashes' [for lack of a better term] likely to be reflective of what actually happened; or just what my mind is imagining, even now that the drug is out [or is getting out of] my system.

Thirdly - is it normal to have no recollection of entire nights, even the points before tripping and to have out of body experiences on DOI? I didn't know the stuff was that powerful.. I've never had any experiences like it before, even on high doses of acid.. Also, is it common/heard of to have no recollection of certain events that happened while tripping - and then have them replay later - or am I just certifiably, batshit insane?

has anyone ever had an experience like this, and if so - how did you deal with it? I'm a little nervous, and a little scared about not being able to remember what happened, or being able to make sense of anything..

Thank-you.

I do not know if this will help or not but...


One night I ate 7 hits of acid and completly lost it and can barely remember much. What helped me out was talking to the main person I was with that night and trying to figure out through an un-biased perspective what really happened. Meaning, the things that you beleive happened may just be you imagining these ideas so you can try and put a finger on what happened. So, I would consult your friend and just try to figure out what happened through him.

Also, are you traumatized mentally thusfar by what happend?

Are you actually sure it wasn't LSD? How did you reason it was DOI?

Memory lapses are interesting because it seems you can still recall events but not be able to "label" them. It's entirely likely you've played out your strange recollections.

11 good beans + whiskey + mystery chemical = :confused:

IMO I just think you took too much E. High doses have strange effects. I'll feel drained for a day or so after 2 beans and you took 11?? Give it a while, you'll come good.

It does sound more of an acid trip.

Also, the rolls being the main problem is a plausible idea.

In my own expierence, a high intake of X can cause hallucinations, seizures, complete loss of memory of that time period while under high intakes.

It tasted metallic. Might not have necessarily been a DOI, but I don't think it was acid, although, I suppose it could have just been a funny tasting blotter. Nevertheless, it was certainly weird whatever it was.

Somewhat, yes. Not really because of the trip itself, since that's long been forgotten. But rather the helplessness I felt making up in a room with wires attached to me, and doctors running around me..

I've talked to my friend about the night, and haven't been able to discover much - except the amount of substances I took and where we were. He, too, can't recall much of the night, either - but he didn't trip on the DOI [or whatever it turns out it was] he just got really fucked on weed and pills.

I've since remember a little bit about last night, but nothing significant or anything that can put my mind at ease. I know one thing though, I didn't kill or hurt my friend, that was just my imagination, thankfully. But a lot remains to be seen..

As far as physical health goes, I'm still a little worse for the wear. Got a strange tingling on my left hand, and my heart is still beating like a drum.

i spent an hour replying to this and changed my mind.

Just keep telling yourself that those crazy things you thought happened didnt happend.Try and rationalize things that helped me.
