Extreme yawning when coming down from a strong breakthrough

[brettsta]

It's probably a stupid question, but does anyone else get Extreme yawning whilst in and especially when coming down from
a very intense breakthrough, I'm not talking the average yawn .
If so and it's not just me , why ?
I do find myself unintentionally hold my breath at times during the experience !,
Very much like I'm underwater ?
Maybe a lack of oxygen or just tired., but I feel it's more than that .
Oddly it definitely has a big effect on the breakthrough .? .

It is a known phenomenon of psychedelic tryptamines. If you aren't in distress, I wouldn't think twice about it

Yep. Yawns and tears. Not tired, not sad at all. @benzyme, a chemist, says it is due to Serotonin receptor 5h2ta (or somesuch - the trip switch). He said when that receptor gets flooded that the yawns and tears are a byproduct/side effect.

Great replies very interesting thanks , a flooded serotonin receptor ? Yes that makes sense.
No it's not something that worries me, Infact as Weird as it sounds there has been a few times I've used the yawn within the experience, just like controlled breath work it can be extremely powerful.

I consistently get extreme yawning with psilocybin, which I rarely touch these days because of the extreme sensitivity I’ve developed to mushrooms.

Tears without a hint of sadness, I’ve only experienced with smoked yopo/vilca, nearly 20 years ago.

DMT tears , now that's really something!! Yes it's not crying as such , but the magnitude of the pure luv
and incredibleness of DMT nearly always leaves me with tears streaming down my face .
For those who have never experienced it , it's what it's all about , it's why I do it

Yeah a decent DMT dose makes me yawn and have tears.
