Cause of LSD hangover

[OBEler]

Can somebody explain why on some trips you get an hangover the next days if you take lysergamids like LSD, AL-LAD & co?

Is there a scientific reason already? I cannot concentrate the next days, feel a little dizzy, forget things, have strange headache even if I get enough sleep. After about 3 days it is totally gone.

Even if you felt that you did get "good sleep" you propably didn't. LSD was still doing things in your Brain while sleeping and therefore messed up sleep. For me next day after LSD is lots of tiredness but nice afterglow feeling.

LSD trips are long, so it may just exhaust your mind.

Keep in mind that everyone reacts differently, that also applies to post-trip effects.

@Gregory1 Ah I get it, lsd is doing its work also during sleep. Make sense

Also it needs time until it is totally out of your system

I found it similar to overworking syndrome/brain exhaustion.

Like when your mind is forced into highest gear for prolonged time trying to nail computer project for 12-16 hrs.

Mind needs a bit of unwind time to cool down in my experience.

Lol, man, you took a stimulant, of course it will eat away something in your future state. All stimulants work this way

I think it could be because you don't complete your trip during the session and therefore have an energetic imbalance afterwards.

You could try breathwork at the end of the peak or smoke some weed. If this doesn't work, you may need a higher dose.
