I don’t know what DP/DR is, sorry. Episodes of anxiety are not uncommon, and some people using psychedelics outside of clinical trials have panic attacks; these are sometimes mis-diagnosed as psychotic breaks, because they can present similarly, but they usually pass. I can’t stress enough the differences between using psychedelics “free range” and in a therapeutic setting, where even “bad trips” can prove so useful and constructive that they’re typically referred to not as “bad” but “challenging trips.” An experienced facilitator can divert a patient from a frightening episode, often by advising the patient to “surrender” to what’s happening in the mind. The dissolution of one’s ego can be terrifying unless you’ve been prepared to let it go, in which case it can be ecstatic. Setting and setting is everything when it comes to psychedelics.

I think it stands for “depersonalisation” and “derealisation”
