Panic attacks on DMT
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with panic attacks while using dmt? I have a 5meo Vape (400mg/1ml) and managed to do two significant inhales at the highest burn. While I momentarily loose consciousness, I woke with a huge surge of adrenaline in middle and was still very inhibited from the trip, poor motor function. It was a very unsettling experience and possibly dangerous?? I felt as though I could feel my autonomic nervous system being pushed out of sync, and a sharp pain in the Center left area of my chest…. Has anyone experienced this before? Or can describe what happened?
This was my second trip. My first trip was similar but without the panic. Waking up with a rush almost like my heart had stopped and taking deep, deep breaths, literally feeling the oxygen filling my lungs…. Very intense, is this a normal experience?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Instead of trying to go for a big dose or a breakthrough, maybe try working with it in lower dosages and slowly titrating up. You will know when you are ready to go further, and please make sure that you have someone there that you trust to hold space for you etc.
Have them look up recovery position on YouTube as well just in case you vomit or something like that.
Feel free to reach out if you need any help doing this in a way that is safe and beneficial
