Yeah I experimented with them a couple times with increasing dosages as I was mostly curious, and there really isn't anything fun or enjoyable to it. At best, you'll just feel a bit out of it and maybe have a good nap, but at a higher dosage it's straight up paranoia, hallucinations, twitching, pure terror, and no sleep.

The last time I took them, I thought there were people trying to break into my apartment at 4am, I had a wrench and was standing back to a corner with all the lights on just waiting. The thing is all the auditory hallucinations are so real that you can't really talk your way out of it. I thought these guys had just kicked in my neighbors door and beaten him to death, and one was waiting by my living room window for me to look away for a second so he could pounce. I eventually sort of ran how ludicrous this situation was over in my head a few times and realized it wasn't actually happening.

I did learn an important trick from this experience though, having had some scary hallucinations (not all drug induced) since then. When you start hearing things and you aren't sure if they are real or not, focus on either a phrase or maybe tv show theme song you know really well. If you start to HEAR one of those things (as if real) then odds are, you're suffering from auditory hallucinations.
