DMT next day effects

[Love2all]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has felt awfull the day after smoking DMT? For the 2nd time now, I have woken up the day after smoking DMT and felt so,so bad. Pounding heart, very sore headache and sweating&shiverring at the same time, I literally couldn’t get out of bed-very difficult to breathe as well. Could I be smoking it wrong?(using glass pipe &mesh filter only) or could the DMT itself be contaminated? Is a Heptane wash a good idea? I’m new in here so thanks in advance

You shouldn’t have any next day effects, apart from maybe mental fatigue depending upon how far you’ve gone. Headaches and heart problems are not normal, don’t consume your dmt until you are sure it’s clean.

If you keep feeling sick find proper medical care, being short breathed and having heart problems is not an good combination.

Headaches can be a thing for me after serotonergic psychedelics in general, and some body tension(less of it with DMT). I think it’s a combo of tension headaches and arthritis tho. The other stuff you mentioned-no never experienced those after a trip.

If you are having prolonged cardiac discomfort you should probly see a doctor.

Hope you feel better

Thank you for the reply Jamie01, yes Seratonin syndrome is ticking all the boxes at my end. Hypertension/high blood pressure is also ticking lots of boxes. Very disturbing, I’ve spent a year researching and preparing to go on my journey to look for genuine answers to improve certain aspects of myself and my life, I am a genuine seeker, not just some random guy looking for a good hit, however I will not be doing anything else until I’ve had a full medical check over by my doctor. If anybody reading this experiences similar issues, please do the same and do not hesitate to message me as I will investigate this as thoroughly as is possible to find an answer. Peace and love to all-and enjoy your journey’s

Thank you for your reply Varallo, very much appreciated! Rest assured your advice has been heeded, I will be undergoing a full medical check before commencing any more journeys. I will say that after initial research, Seratonin syndrome and Hypertension issues seem to tick lots of boxes for me as an individual. Thanks again

Yeah, it happened to me today. Maybe it has something to do with the magnetic beams from the Sun right now? I had a bad experience vaping just 10 mg of DMT, and the day after, I had a headache. You are not alone with this problem today!

I think it has nothing to do with serotonin syndrome just bad times in the atmosphere. I hope we feel better soon.

Asking as a guide, what was your experience like? How are you with self-care. How are you about relieving body tensions?
Headaches are not uncommon, but I haven't really heard of them happening so long after the trip. For example, after a long changa session I'll get a headache. I tend to get minor headaches intermittently from mushrooms.

As for serotonin syndrome, what meds or supplements are you taking? DMT doesn't increase the concentration of serotonin in your system on its own, but it does bind to some of the same receptor sites.

How's your blood pressure?

Hi Voidmatrix, I do hope you are well! So my experience was great actually, I’ve learned so much already from a relatively short amount of journeys-I am utterly amazed at this molecule and its properties and potential! RE self care, I do meditate religiously every morning, however I certainly have several pounds of weight I’d like to shift. Medication wise I take ventolin inhalers for Asthma, sometimes co-codamol for pain relief after sustaining several traumatic injuries and Allopurinol to prevent gout symptoms. In preparation for my DMT journey I have started exercising and eating healthier and have lost a small amount of weight, but I’m still not the fittest guy in the room by a long shot. As a Scotsman, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn I enjoy a few beers and I will consume in a week more than the recommended weekly number of units. I am unaware of my blood pressure as it has never been a problem for me so far so I have never had it checked out. The common denominator for both my bad aftereffects when I think about it is I did have a few beers beforehand, using that and some deep breathing techniques & meditation to relax me and help cope with the intensity of the initial feelings. I don’t smoke weed anymore(stopped it years ago) and I don’t partake in any other illegal drug. Is there any substance’s out there that are known not to mix well with DMT that you are aware of? Thanks in advance.

 

[Voidmatrix]

The first thing that stands out is the beer beforehand. There are plenty of reports that stipulates that DMT is not a fan of having to interact with alcohol. Sometimes this seems to be explicit in the space and other times it seems implicit, outside the space, such as in your case.

I'd drop the dosage and take journey without any alcohol and see how you fair.

One love

Hi Love2all, you're getting great feedback/advice here, my note is more of a side note - I don't see you mentioning anything about harmalas - but for whatever it is worth, the only headaches I've gotten in dabbling with the spice has been in conjunction with harmaline, even in smaller amounts, by any ROA. I've not seen anyone else note anything about harmaline and headaches, but for me it is a consistent and repeatable side effect. With Harmine and THH I feel fine though.

Hi Articifer, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance!
I am currently in the process of washing/purifying all the DMT I have extracted with n-heptane. I think I was successful in the first 2 pulls of a 100g test batch- I removed what seemed to be lots of solid impurities and definitely some oil, I poured the heptane solution into a vessel and brought the temperature down gradually over 3 days, going from the hot water bath temp-room temp-refrigerator temp and eventually freezer temp. The results looked very different indeed from my original extraction-lots of very nice looking crystals. However I have not sampled this as I am taking time to rest and recover-such was the ferocity of how bad I felt. I have just washed a second batch, adding an already washed batch into the mixture to further purify that, but I noticed a very large amount did not dissolve, and now what I’d expect to be the “impurity’s have dried out and look very much like a powdery crystal like substance-basically what the finished product should look like! Are you aware if purified DMT should have dissolved in a hot water bath wash using n-heptane? I ask because I do not want to throw away what looks like good DMT. I am very impressed with your knowledge, and shall have to spend some time researching your kind reply to me and the substance’s you mentioned as I am unaware or them, but I will do my homework!! And finally, yes the level of knowledge, feedback and kindness my fellow travellers have shown me is amazing, and I am very grateful indeed. I hope very much to keep in touch with both them and you

 

[Love2all]

Hello my fellow travellers! I felt the need to update all you kind people who responded to my initial question. So having gone from feeling incredibly bad after a journey, these are the steps I have taken, and I am pleased to say my problem seems to have resolved itself. I am confident this will remain to be the case.
Firstly, and I don’t know why this is nor can I explain it, I’ve felt in touch with some messenger from the other side(on an albeit very low instinctive level)specifically with regards to asking the question”am I OK to visit again”. Sounds weird I know, but I have had a very strong gut instinct and followed that message with great respect. It’s been a whole month now since I had my bad experience and only yesterday did I feel warm and comforted enough to continue my seeking of guidance, and I should strongly note that I felt I was “given permission” to do so.
Secondly. I made sure I had a clean system, no alcohol, no painkillers(which I take for several traumatic injuries) and I meditated for quite a long time beforehand. My mind was at ease.
Thirdly. I only went on one journey, I did not abuse it and learnt to appreciate massively the experience I had on 1 single journey.
Fourth. I have put a huge amount of time and effort into making the purest, un-contaminated product I can, this included both a water wash and an additional wash with n-heptane- which really seemed to work wonders, the difference between my initial product(powdery like very small crystals-very large crystals which seemed very pure) was very satisfying.
Lastly-with the exception of this Nexus, I have ceased to talk about DMT with anybody, friends ask about it, and I just tell them straight-I’m not longer talking about that-no offence! These friends are just very curious indeed, and knowing them as I have for decades, I know this is not for them, for example none of them has ever asked to try DMT, despite constant phone calls just to pick my brain for my own experiences and to satisfy there own curiosity’s. This may change if someone reaches out with a genuine interest in exploring this, but I feel strangely at ease, and in a good way, to not be there “can you tell me everything” guy.

One mate actually said to me”no I’m not happy with that description, tell me more, tell me about this and that!!

So thanks people, hope to talk to you all soon Love2all

Nope, not weird. Over time, I have become able to feasibly access mine whenever I want and they're in touch with me whenever they want.

Happy you were able to figure things out. There are many obstacles on the DMT road.

One love

You won't get serotonin syndrome from smoking DMT. Without having read the rest of the thread, I'd say at this point that you may have triggered a latent viral infection, or one that you were coming down with anyhow.

If you're not 100% sure of the exact origin of your DMT there's a distinct possibility of it being contaminated.

I hope you had a speedy recovery. Now I'd better read the rest of the thread!

[Edit - it's gladdening to see how things have shaped up for you so far, along with your wise response to the situation. Headache and tachycardia are classic symptoms of acetaldehyde exposure, the inevitable consequence of alcohol consumption - so much for my first guess!]
