Never had anything like that just felt tired.

I have read stories of flashbacks (people suddenly reliving part of a trip) which sound quite dangerous, but I've never experienced that or know anyone who has. The worst thing that can happen, as you said, is a bad trip; everybody gets those eventually, and they're truly terrifying, but they end up being the best trips. The calm after the storm is ineffable.

Agree with pretty much all of that, I've heard about flashbacks and can confirm it hasn't happened to me. I've used them about five or six times btw.
