With your limited description it’s hard to know exactly what you are experiencing, but mild twitching and vocalization during high dose DMT use is normal for some people. Twitching after a DMT experience is not normal. If it feels like a warning sign, I would take it as such.
It would be helpful if you could include as many details about your experience as possible; perhaps someone more knowledgeable than myself can offer you better insights. Did you extract the DMT yourself?
I’m not a doctor - I’m using the resources available here on the Nexus, google, and my own experiences to answer your questions. It seems from my point of view that you are having some concerning side effects, and are seeking reassurance that it is okay to continue. Your level of personal concern seems high, again, from my limited point of view, and based on that perception, I would encourage you to discontinue your use of DMT until you feel confident in your own safety.
Hey,
(sorry I don't know how to delete these boxes with your answers in it in my answer
)
Okey so, a bit more of explenation.
I'm already 3 years on SSRI (medium dosage Sertraline, back to 50 mg). I planned to not do any drugs with it, but yeh... meanwhile I combined everything with it: a lot of ketamine, LSD, THC, mushrooms, and 5MeO and NN-dmt i guess..?
So, now about the DMT. Since I can't find anyone here to provide me with it, I did an extraction. I'm studying chemistry so a lot of things were relevant for me. First batch failed, but after that one I could harvest some nice yellow and white powder/crystals (depending on method). I'm pretty sure it's quiet pure and there is no nafta or something left. So my method is freebasing DMT through a glass pipe, just the oldschool style i guess. I'm thinking of investing in a vape later on, maybe.
I've tried couple of times to take as many hits of NN-dmt to have a breakthrough with no succes. Only got very distorted visuals, audio hallucinations etc... not scary but not really nice or something. Yesterday I realized I had to use a tortch lighter and not a regular one. (what a difference!) Also, since I'm on SSRI, I took a bit more than the normal dose for breakthrough: 60 mg. My Girflriend lighted it and in one (!) big hit I took everything. She asked if I wanted another one but I couldn't. (Afterwards, I saw there was nothing left so it was a very big hit.) So after the hit, I closed my eyes and actually, I don't remember anything from that moment until 8 minutes later. But i felt very calm when 'waking up'. I remeber on lower doses i didnt fell so calm when coming down. Also, my girlfriend told me I was smiling couple of times and i seemed very happy. So it seems I was pretty conscious? Anyway, I don't remember anything so I can't tell if I had a breakthrough or not.
Now, the thing is i'm a bit worried about these twitches and 'the shakes' as you call it. Maybe i'm confusing these two. But even before the whole DMT thing, I had these twitches already, but without the twitch, if that's a thing. It also comes with a very high pitched sound, like the sound if you are yawning, or the tv which isn't connected. It feels like you lose control for a fraction of second. Not pleasant, but also not a big problem since it's subtle.
But while on DMT (my gf said) I had these twitches and sort of spasms, also when i was coming down. And the effect of 'losing control for a fraction of a second', those feelings happened again, but more amplified and also had longer duration.
Now, i'll do some research about the 'the shakes'. Also, I was scared in the beginning, but i think i'm not really that scared anymore. And yes, you are damn right... I'm very inpatient. I know I should'nt... but it's stronger than myself. I'm looking to find something more... I've also recently quit taking ketamine on a regular basis and I wanna get into self-improvement things. I actually have done a lot of this self-improvement things but it's a bit with ups and downs. I just think i could really benefit opening up my mind. In fact, when I took 5 MeO, I was able to think very clearly about 'myself', not with my drug craving brain, just more objective. And it really helped me so far. So i thought NN-dmt could also offer me something special, maybe. I'm actually interested in dmt for sooo long. And since I just have laying it around, home made, it's really tempting to not wait.
hehe, thanks guys. love.
