Can Salvia Divinorum cause flashbacks?

Question

I had a great time the first item i did it. It was with people i trusted, and i had no idea what salvia was. The thing is...I was really drunk and high on cocaine, and i smoked it with pot. I just remember feeling like i was on nitris and ketamine toegter, but i could control my bodily functions, (for the brief moment) So 2 yeras later, i tried it again, this time it was 15x extract, and i did it by myself. The first 20 secs was great, then I accidentally unplugged my computer and crawled under my large desk to plug it back in. Now remember, this happened like no more then a minute after i smoked it. Next thing i know i had a super trip, unlike anything ive ever known, i panicked. The story goes on longer and im writign a blog about it. Long story short, it was 4-5 months ago, and im still getting 1 second flashbacks of that exact same"panic" feeling. Theres this crazy imagery that i see, and whenever i get these 1/2 to 1 sec flashes, i see this image in my minds eye. You know that feeling when your in the dark, and even though your old enough to not be scared, for a thousandth of a second you have that errie feeling? Or better yet, you knwo that feeling when you thing you see a car coming right at you and your about to be in major accident, but it was just a reflection from a sign or soemthing..its that feeling... Im rational enough to fend it off in mere seconds... But its still a nuisance. Thing is, I have like 3-4 of these erie feelings a day. Sometimes ill go a day or two without one, but even so, i cant stop thinking about it... SO.. got any wisdom for a fellow

Answer 1

They should dissipate with time. There could also be triggers for the flashbacks, like an odor or sound. However, dissociatives, like Salvia, have been known to cause mental disturbances and awaken latent asymptomatic mental illnesses. If the flashbacks don't subside and continue to be worrisome, you should see someone. Good Luck.
