How To Get Hallucinogens Out Of The System?
Question: my son is on a trip and took a drug called shake and bake and is freaking out and hallucinating. What can we do to help get the drug out of his systems so that he can function and stop hallucinating and return to normal. How long will it take?
Brief Answer:
Mostly the hallucinating drugs take 24 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The drug name "shake and bake" is not something which is frequently heard. Probably it could be a local dialect name or slang. However as you mentioned that he is hallucinating alot, mostly on trips hallucinogens are the drug which are frequently abused and these are available by various street names. This will take around 24 hours to recover and there is nothing much that can be done. He needs to be provided a safe atmosphere and least stimulation of light or sound. If possible he can take some sedatives and go to sleep until the effect wears off. He should be careful, not to try any such drugs in future.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
