to puke or not to puke, the eternal question

[venixxx]

More and more often when I take da mushies I get the urge to puke. I generaly fast for a minimum of 8 hours prior to taking, usualy I get mild urges about 20-30 min after taking which is usually bearable but becoming less so, also as the trip is winding down 3-5 hours in I get some serious urges to puke, now back in my days of marijuana that helped a great deal, unfortunatly I cannot smoke da cheeba any longer, I also know that ginger and draumamine are helpful agents in preventing this side affect although I do not like the sleepyness induced by draumamine, so that leaves ginger and.... anyone got any other useful advice?

second question I have been told that with mescaline puking induces more visuals anyone get this with mush?

I also feel that puking could be the bodies way of cleansing itself after a trip?

In short I wonder what others prefer to do when this situation arises and does the time at which it arises affect your decision to puke or not to puke???

I usually eat a little something to settle my stomach. A couple slices of cheese or something small. My friend eats his on a sandwich. I've had a couple grams an hour or so after supper a few times and noticed no real difference in potency.

well, ive had the urges to puke before but only like twice ever....i dunno i never get nautious from mushrooms. i always thought also that you shouldnt puke if you can help it because your stomach hasnt had a chance to digest all the psychoative ingredients yet....(just a theory)

but what helped me then (and always when i feel like im going to throw up) is deep breaths.

simple, but it really works for me!

Well, the mushrooms aren't toxic, so there's nothing for your body to 'cleanse' itself of. I've never ever even had an urge to vomit while tripping, fresh, dried whatever. Personally I think its psychosomatic, ie all in your head, letting the anxiety get to you until you're so twisted up with negativity that you feel like you're sick. But its just a matter of controlling your mind and thoughts.

Maybe there is some sort of allergy you're reacting to, maybe you just don't like mushrooms. My little sister liked peanut butter sammiches one week, but the next she'd declare they're the most disgusting things in the world and would make herself sick if she was not given an alternative. I think this is very similar. My little sister liked redvines too, but those give her hives. So you never know, liking something doesn't always convince your body.

Get a bite to eat towards the end of your trip. I've always tripped better without fasting. A light meal a little while before, or even mixing hte mushrooms up in it - chopped up 4 grams of sclerotia, tossed it into the skillet with some sliced chicken and string beans, little almond oil, some seasonings. That was a delicious meal, and I tripped my balls off shortly after, and all night. All I have to say is - watch out for Adult Swim! omg that shit is so trippy if you're already trippy, i mean watching it sober is pretty entertaining, but some of those shows like Harvey Birdman and ATHF are just off the hook. Oh and Xavier the Renegade Angel, damn that one trips me right the fuck out.

Try eating some fruit with them instead of letting them sit on a empty stomach. Thats always helped my friends and I, until we started making tea.

That's some good shit!
Metalocalypse is one of my favorites along with ATHF but if I start naming
them I will name almost all of them. Except maybe Tim and Eric. I don't think
I care to much for them.

peppermint tea helps with nausea

hummm pepermint tea sounds like a good idea I do have a large supply of it and this sweet tea pot and cups, which are now fired the teapot doesnt pour very well though its spout needs to be reengineered

I've found that eating a few hours before a trip has made me feel like purging when coming up - if I fast then I don't get the symptoms. I have found that if I do feel like vomiting, then i'm better of letting it out if it needs to. Every time, I immediately feel better and the trip is much more enjoyable. I guess it's just psychosomatic though - cos i've purged I suppose I feel cleansed or something.

I've also found that the varieties with a higher psilocybin content - eg liberty caps - make me want to spew more often than say, cubies.

mushrooms are very fiberous, so when you eat them whole, your body works hard to digest them which gives some people upset stomachs. try making a tea. i use a whole lemon squeezed into a cup of water and simmer this til is starts getting warm. when its warm i put my fresh or dried chopped mush into the water and let that simmer for ten minutes stirring occasionally. after the ten minutes, strain your concoction and try to squeeze all the last shroom bits then discard them. you can add other teas or sugar or w/e to flavor your tea but i like mine the way it is right off the stove trip hits you faster/harder imo but doesnt last quite as long. have fun !

I've always thought that my nausea comes from being more aware and in tune. Most of the time you don't pay any attention to your stomach and digestion. But as the trip comes on and gets stronger, you are more in tune to almost everything, especially your body.

Next time try closing your eyes and breathing deeply a few times and focus on something else.

I got to agree with you duke of prunes when I gotta puke, I feel much better letting it out I had a kinda bad experience at a concert a while back(not my fav place to do shrooms but a friend gave em to me and wanted to do them with me and I cant deny free. Any way the trip was super strong and I had a few urges to puke right in the beginning but it passed, the trip was fantastic, best visuals I have had to date, then right as a huge thunderstorm front moved in I had to puke really bad and gaged several times and I think I swallowed some back because I was starting to get a little paranoid cause we were sitting in a crowd of people in broad daylight and I really didnt want to get thrown out (it didnt seem to be a drug heavy crowd) so I laid back and started pouring sweat and I think I may have passed out for a few mins with tons of closed eye visuals, and then bam the trip was over, and just in time because it started raining like 30 seconds later, and we had to run for shelter. I still felt sick the rest of the night but it was a very strange ending to the trip, I felt as though the thunderstorm had affected my body with its low pressure or something. TV on the Radio(a band) rocked the hell out of that thunderstorm though. Oh yea heh I hadnt eaten all day and drank rather heavily just before and just after dosing, but was definatly well out of the majority of the drunkeness by the time the heavy puking came on, and I do know how to hold my alcohol

talk to your doctor about anti-nausea agents. there are some very effective and gentle anti-nausea drugs that do not cause drowsiness. there is one, the name escapes me, but its perfect for mushy nausea because its short acting and shroom nausea seems confined to the early stage of the trip. Maxolon and Pramin cause drowsiness in some people but mostly not. Not all pharmaceuticals are evil.
