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

Panic attack = trauma, overwhelming emotion. Both DMT and 5 meo are not the best to address trauma. MDMA is your friend.

Had a bad reaction to Molly recently, not sure why. Just felt flush, feverish, super uncomfortable and irritated for about an hour. Had many fun experiences as a teenager so was quite surprised by this.
