shadow trip

Transient hallucination, usually experienced while under the influence of psychoactive substance(s). The person experiencing a shadow trip will have insight into the fact that it is a perceptual disturbance, not part of the shared reality - this insight is a distinguishing characteristic.

Shadow trips are most often a visual hallucination, but can be also be experienced as a brief auditory, olfactory, tactile or gustatory hallucination. Shadow tripping can be a pleasant experience, but is sometimes frightening and uncomfortable.

Drug induced illusion.

They gave me ketamine after surgery, but very time I shut my eyes I would shadow trip, so I asked them to give a diffent analgesic.

After smoking about twenty cones I started shadow tripping. I kept seeing cats out of the corner of my eye, but when I turned to look at them they disappeared.

pill shaming

The action or practice of making mocking or critical comments about people who take medication.

Pill shaming is most-often directed at people who take/endorse taking psychotropic medicactions as part of a mental health relapse-prevention/recovery plan. As with fat shaming, pill shaming achieves little other than frustrate and humiliate individuals who may already be feeling self-conscious and vulnerable..

Those who indulge in pill shaming are often ideologically driven (eg: scientologists), but sometimes they're just ignorant fools. Since 2013 the act of pill shaming is sometimes called-out on Twitter with the hashtag #pillshaming.

FFS! Don't you think there's enough stigma about mental health already? I found an antidepressant that works for me. Critising people who take psych meds as victims of a psychiatry-big pharma conspiracy does not help me. It's nasty, ill-informed pill shaming.

I really, really dislike being told I am being fooled or oppressed because I take meds. On the contrary, I'm empowered to LIVE #PillShaming

gnashtag

The anxiety and embarrassment of initially using the incorrect hashtag, followed by the subsequent relief that comes when eventually finding the correct hashtag.

I thought I was the only person Tweeting at the conference until I realised the hashtag was #ACMHN2016, not #ACMHN16. Oops! #gnashtag
