	Most bad trips are very similar to anxiety or panic attacks, and can be reversed by focusing on something positive, distracting yourself with some sort of entertainment or changing your setting.

Most bad trips are very similar to anxiety or panic attacks, and can be reversed by focusing on something positive, distracting yourself with some sort of entertainment or changing your setting. Something as simple as changing to another chair or putting on your favorite sweater can do the trick.

	However, attempting to fight a bad experience is often liable to worsen things. It's helpful to focus on specific aspects that are discomforting and attempt to resolve them one at a time. You can start with easily solved issues of physical discomfort. Are you thirsty? Do you need to eat something? Having beverages and easy to eat foods like fruit can be very helpful. It's also useful to change your setting to change your mental state. If you have somber music playing, you can put on something more light hearted or energetic. If things are feeling overwhelming, it can help to lie down and try to reduce the amount of input you have to deal with.

	Breathe slowly and deeply. Inhale through the nose for four seconds, hold the breath for four seconds, then take another four seconds to exhale through the mouth, hold the breath for 2 seconds and repeat.

			Wrapping yourself in a blanket/duvet, the heavier the better, can provide a lot of comfort.

	Don't be discouraged that you have somehow 'ruined' your high. The more challenging experiences tend to be some of the most insightful ones. If you try to analyse if it's going bad or well it's easy to get into a reinforcing loop if you are feeling poorly. Focus on what you feel and what you are thinking, so that later on you can go over those feelings and thoughts to gain insight as to your thought processes.

	Keep in mind that your experience will end, and that it's all a matter of time. Many bad trip situations are very similar to panic attacks, and as such the same techniques can be applied; mindfulness meditation and controlled breathing can help you calm yourself down.

			You may have come to the same conclusion many others have - that benzodiazepines or antipsychotics are great and will effectively end the trip, but really ought to only be a last resort. You can draw a parallel outside of the context of illegal drug use to those that drink heavily when times get tough. Instead of dealing with the hurdles that life presents they retreat to the bar.

	Some chemicals are particularly given to causing bad trips; for example, [[deliriants]] such as [[DPH]] are notorious for causing bad trips due to the scary nature of their hallucinations, and inability for the user to distinguish the effects of the drug from reality. It is recommended to avoid such drugs.
