the only way i can describe it is a zap, but its more like a vibration coming from what feels like my brain, its loud Sounds like static.Sometimes ends with a Crack or Pop. And it always happens after coming down and about to pass out. Then....ZAAPPP holy shit scares me half to death.

Recently i had a larger dose (5 hits) around 9pm, no sleep of course but the next day had a zap and this time lasted what felt like a minute. Was paralyzed and had enough time to have quite a few Conscious thoughts. One of them being,"O shit, Im going to die." Done a bit of googleing but nothing really answers my question of what the fuck. doesn't happen every time i dose but it only happens when I dose am coming down on the edge of sleep. Thoughts? Is my brain turning into the eggs in the frying pan or is something that i shouldn't worry about? anyone else experience anything like this. Thanks

Could be a 'flash back'

Read into flashbacks ,what most people believe they are is BS
doesn't sound anything like this.They usually last a split second like im drifting off to sleep and BAM, Zap.like a cell phone vibrating inside my skull. its a very physical feeling. not painful but I can feel it through my whole body. ive had flashbacks though and this is nothing like that. ive always brushed it off as something to do with neurochemistry, maybe serotonin returning to normal levels, but the most recent one was really 30 seconds of my body being totally paralyzed, and loud vibrations and zapps. i almost thought i had a seisure or something. but was completly conscience through whole thing....

Ive never done mdma, and only called it brain zap cause thats exactly what i thought first time it happened to me. no other way to describe it really.

it is not good. I have heard similar descriptions from people who were undergoing diazapam withdrawals. The sleep thing, a second or two is pretty common, the other is a little scary. Were I you I would lay off for six months of so and take care of myself.

diazapam as in Valium right? i do take klonapin, but not a few days before i trip as i always heard benzo's bring you down. hmm maybe it has something to do withcoming down from L and not have and Klonies in my system?

if you are addicted to clonazapam and are out, do something about it IMMEDIATELY. This is no joke. See a doctor. I don't know if you are or not but withdrawals can be life threatening. There is no shame in benzo addiction, you are not weak or evil.
you could go into convultions. There are ways of weaning off of this stuff that will reduce your discomfort but do not just stop if you have been regularly taking it.

I take 1 mg. mostly for sleep, wouldn't call it addicted as i have gone weeks without and no physical/ mental side effects. I was in the past very hooked on xanax. so understand the dangers of benzoes.
I actually only started getting Klonapin again because my doc is weaning me off percs, been on some form of opiates for five years and have to be clean by september. that will be fun

then it is likely not that. I can't recall half lives but I think clonazapam is a long one, that means that if you take one a day you gradually build up more and more in your system so you might not feel withdrawls for a week or so, unlike xanax which has a far shorter serum half life.

Not a fan of Klonapins. That stuff doesnt mix well with meth. I thought I was going through kidney failure.

Though, I spent the day with a guy so fucked up on Klonapins that everytime he would get into the car he would hit his head, very hard, on the door frame of the car. We tried to explain to him to be careful about it, but there was no use in the attempt. He must have done it like 10 times. Poor guy, we sure laughed when he did it though.

Hope everything works out for you Green Machine.

Thanks Mighty Mike. yeah problem with Klonies is they dont kick in for what seems like hours, have had problems in the past of redosing, then all hits at once, Ill never forget that last time i took too many.
wake up and half my trees are cut down in backyard, im like WTF.
I ask my roomate WTF happened,
He tells me I was running Around the yard barefoot with a chainsaw fuckin out cutting trees like madman.
I dont even remember buying a the saw but apparently i opened up a credit card at home depot and just had to have that saw right then.

Yeah fuck Klonapin.
Thats the last time i abused them. lol i had a friend on Xanax that Passed out in Gas station and caught his nose on display rack hook. Ripped his whole face off...Literally

SOMEONE ELSE.

Beware it's not only LSD that does it. From the reading I have done it has something to do with your seratonin levels.
I experienced this before drug usage every once in awhile and it scared the shit out of me because it felt like I was being zapped by lightning inside of my own brain. Every doctor looked at me like I had two heads.

When I started using hallucinogenic drugs a lot more(not specific to psychedelics), it happened more.
And still happens to this day.

It is not dangerous to my knowledge. I'm not sure why it's only a select few people either. But it is terrifying.
If you find any good information on it, please post it on this thread.

It's happened to me twice and i thought it was a seizure or something.
I'd taken some L that was way different than any other L i've ever taken, extremely strong and overwhelming body feelings, so maybe it wasn't L but it came from one of my GDF buddies in california so whoooo knows.

But i was in bed halfway between being asleep and awake and all of a sudden the sound in the room goes digital almost like on a N2O balloon, and I feel like i'm being held down by something and it was shaking me. scary shit. The second time I pulled myself out of it because I could tell what was about to happen.

I think this is somewhat common with or without the drug, maybe attributed to seratonin like they said. There's a painting from Fuseli called the nightmare that describes the experience of something holding you down.

That L or whatever it was was pretty gnarly though, I have a waterbed and I remember falling asleep and waking up and I felt like i had expanded into all of the water under the bed and into my bedroom. and i saw in my mind's eye these tentacles of light where my body was and as i moved my arms or legs the light tentacles would be the ones moving my limbs haha. weird

Awesome! ive seen those tenticles or something like it. Me and two close friends are tripping, We decide to do a case of whipits. I hit two cartridges at once and was told i passed out. But i saw strange auras, or energies or some kind of unearthly bodies, one for each of my two friends and myself. These energies were holding us with these light stringy tenticles things, playing us like sting puppets controling our every move. weird stuff.

BTW love that pic and back to brain zaps, the paralyzed feeling is terrifying. The last Zap i had last what felt like a full minute couldn't even move my eyes.

Ok so i thought this is worth posting here. This past week I expierenced while on 600-800 ugs LSD a Grand Mal Siezure. Thats what im told at least...
1pm ingested 4-5 white on white blotters. (have veryified with Bunk Police Testing KIT)
lost track of time, Its my birthday im lost in the wilderness and am having a VERY VERY good time. got to go see tahquamenon falls in UP of michigan. this was around sunset 7:30 pm or so. Im really in a great head state, completetly loving every secound. Next thing i remember my girlfriend is telling me to calm down that i had a seizure. And that paramedics are on the way. WOW wtf. my body is all scratched the fuck up cant barely remember my own name (i learned this when paramedic got there, had trouble with my home adress as well), and i feel like i got ran over by a bus. Shit is it time to get myself some obamacare, most likelly.
