what a coincidence

I just came out of a trip with my bf

he had a really bad trip, unfortunately. I gave him alprazolam and it did nothing

after about 3-4 hours he got better, took a shower, ate, now he's sleeping soundly

I don’t know what alprozolam is but a bad trip sounds way better than that

Alprozolam is generic for Xanax. Which is a severe anti anxiety drug and heavily abused on the street.

yup, but in this specific context I actually had a prescription from my psychiatrist, who gave it to me to use to kill a bad trip (he is aware me and my bf use magic mushrooms sometimes)

I ended up messaging my doctor, but when he answered my bf was already getting better, so I just took care of him and gave him a half tablet of Seroquel (quetiapine) to sleep, and now he's good again (that's what my doctor told me to do)
