Didn’t know you could trip on Ativan… acid like visuals?
So I only take prescribed Ativan as needed for severe panic attacks. Yesterday my psychiatrist upped my dose from 0.5 to 2mg. I took one to help calm my anxiety last night.
All of a sudden I started seeing dust like particles floating around in front of anything with light, which looked fucking sick - they were dancing around in front of my LED lights. it was like I was living in the upside down (stranger things reference). Everywhere I looked, I seen cobwebs coming out of inanimate objects. I was sitting in bed, and it looked like there were cobwebs coming out of all 4 walls, headed towards me to meet in the middle of the room.
Then I was on my phone and I started seeing everything in different colors. The grey keyboard had a red-ish tint to it, it didn’t even look like an iPhone. It started to look like there was sand like particles underneath the screen, and every time I texted someone the sand particles would float around under my screen, like they were floating in water. I have a speaker that puts on a light show, and everything was so vibrant and trippy… I was seeing tracers like crazy. Then I noticed the walls started breathing, and shit started morphing… and then I was like okay what the fuck, at this point it feels like a full blown acid trip.

I’ve never even heard of Ativan causing hallucinations, so it was actually kind of scary in the moment.. I really thought I was cursed with the “permanent trip” from smoking bad weed. 😂 (Recently happened to one of my friends)
Anyways passed out, woke up this morning and i was like holy shit everything looks normal now, it was just the Ativan…
That was fucking awesome.
