This page will cover tactics for what is commonly known as stopping or "aborting" what is often referred to as a "[[bad trip]]". Some of these tactics involve the acquisition and consumption of additional [[psychoactive]] substances such as [[benzodiazepines]]. We must remind all readers that any advice concerning the use of additional drugs to halt a bad trip is purely subjective and is provided 'as is' and on a non-professional basis. Please do your research on the [[dangerous combinations|dangers of combining]] different drugs before attempting to trip on any [[hallucinogenic]] substances.

'''Aborting a trip''' can be defined as taking action that reduces or eliminates negative cognitive or affective symptoms when under the influence of a [[hallucinogenic]] substance. One may attempt to abort a trip due to fear, panic reactions, the experience of overwhelming symptoms, or even just due to boredom, discomfort, and regret for choosing to undergo the experience.

Although the term "bad trip" usually refers to states created by a [[dissociative]] or [[psychedelic]] drug, it is also applicable for states that are able to be induced by [[stimulants]], [[deliriants]], and other [[psychoactive]] drugs.

Some people may think, that they should consume more trip-aborting substances, if the trip is more intense, or if they consumed more of the psychoactive substance that is causing the undesired trip. The dose which should be taken should not be larger than the common dose because of the possible interactions and onset of unwanted side effects.
