Interesting, I didn't know that. Now I wish I'd had a Xanax after my one trip which kept me awake until 4-5 am after taking acid around noon (otherwise it was an incredible day, it was just annoying not being able to sleep). Don't benzos have some pretty nasty side effects and/or dependency potential though? Maybe this drug is a bit more targeted / less risky?
Try smoking a bunch of strong weed to sleep after tripping, works better than alcohol for me, YMMV. Strong indicas in particular, Gorilla Glue for example.
We already have one. Give someone having a bad trip a Xanax and they're good.

If you aren't using it to get high (so as intended for panic attacks / aborting lsd trips) and using it very infrequently (e.g. Only for lsd trips) you'll have no problems at all.
The issues are usually when you take it daily, especially if you take enough for the recreational effects. (Although daily isn't necessarily bad if you are being very careful with a doctor).
Tl;Dr - yeah benzos have issues with tolerance/depedancy but if you are only using what you need therapeutically, especially since lsd requires you to space out trips, then you're unlikely to have issues.

Yes, or at least it blocks effects if you take it pre-exposure. Risperidone, an atypical antispychotic, is also known for this. Some idiotic big pharma startup will try and milk this, rather than examining cheap existing medications. Plenty of medications block 5-HT2A, I think the important requirement here would be rapid absorption and high receptor occupancy.
Anecdotally, I've used risperidone specifically to abort LSD trips on two occasions and found it quite successful both times. Now when I introduce people to LSD I give them a Risperdal to keep in their pocket "just in case", though to my knowledge none of them have had to use it.
Knowing you can control panic if it occurs goes such a ways in preventing panic at all.

I've never been able to even contemplate eating while tripping and the idea of drinking alcohol while tripping turns my stomach, I find it much easier to just take some alprazolam or diazepam if things start getting out of hand. That's just me personally though, I've tripped with a guy who went and bought and ate a whole chicken while tripping...
In my experience, processed food of all sorts appears utterly weird and unappealing in this state. On the other hand, fresh fruit is usually marvellous.
Hemp milk is pretty chill too.

How about alcohol? I’ve only had one third of a trip and towards the end whiskey took some of the edge off.
