my second seizure experience

Thu, 03/02/2006 - 21:11
about a month ago i took a dose of acid (LSD), and proceeded to wig out. seeing colors, slow motion, and among other things, paranoia. after i came to i chalked it up to a bad trip.(the only other time ive ever done acid was years ago, and it was in no way similar to what happened recently). so i moved on with my life and everything was going fine. then yesterday i experienced the exact same thing that happened a month ago, my brother was the one who discovered me staring at the computer screen as if i was on a different planet. the second one may have been caused by the fact that i had been sitting out in the sun for about an hour waiting for the bus, and the fact that i had nothing to eat the entire day, exept for a coke.plus the fact i was high at the time and playing xbox. the reason im posting is that i am VERY scared right now, a website says people with complex partial seizures dont remember the seizure, but in my case i remember both of them vividly. i could seriously write pages of stuff that i experienced during the seizure but i decided to make a quick list, causes bright flickering colors repedative audio and visuals(leading to slow motion) self induced paranoia depression sleep depervation hunger effects slow motion, and repedative visuals bright (swirling?) colors extreme paranoia extreme fear of death uncontrolled (looping) movements leading from left to right side of body, then down, then up tense muscles deja vu center of gravity distorted my perception of things around me move up down left right, then in a circular motion (like electrons around an atom) saying one color at a time out loud blurred vision out of body experience picking a clothes (rhythm) snapping fingers (rhythm) voices tell me, "you need to make a change" "you are the one" "this happens to me when i go to sleep" "i should tell him....", "no, im going to enjoy this..." "might is right" ??? recovery denial flashbacks vivid memories deja vu even more paranoia

Have you went to the doctor

Have you went to the doctor about this? I think it is important that you get checked out. The LSD may have triggered your problems even when they happened when you weren't using it. Please stay away from the drugs. They do some really bad damage to people. I saw a young man about 20, who was entirely out of it from using drugs and he will never recover. He constantly was listening to voices in his head, and was unable to hold an effective conversation because he was so preoccupied by listening to the voices in his head. He couldn't sit still, and was constantly pacing because that was the only way he could ease some of the problems he had with hearing voices. He had alot of other problems too, but didn't know enough about him.
