Short-term side effects were acute + severe panic attacks, triggered by flashbacks and feeling as though I was physically back in the same situation/it was starting to happen again.
Even though entirely illogical and not being in the same place it happened, in my mind I felt dead certain that the events that had happened were starting to replay themselves and even physically I was reliving the sensations.
This made me dysfunctional for a period of months, slowly over time the severity + frequency of this tapered off. It took about ~2 years for it to become what I'd call "mostly subsided".
Even now though, if I am under a lot of stress or if I don't sleep well and am slightly sleep deprived, I will start to have flashbacks + panic attacks, but I know how to handle them better now and can force logic through a bit better.
My vision is permanently altered, though it's minor. If you're not familiar with psychedelics, when you take a low dose of them, it makes everything have a sort of "oil-painting" type look to it, and textures are crisper.
The bark on a tree is a good example of something that looks much more intense.
The intensity of this has also subsided a fair amount, but even now I choose not to wear glasses most of the time because if I put on my glasses, everything is too "High definition" and visually intense. I prefer things to just be blurry, to be honest.
Interesting. When I was 15.5 I took a couple tabs of what I thought were LSD. Given the extended duration, it was probably a research chemical, but it was on blotter(NBOMe? it was 1991) so it was a potent one. My friend took 5 tabs and started throwing up, which we never experienced with LSD. After nearly 24 hours of tripping I was left with years of panic attacks and HPPD. Walls breathing, textures enhanced, increased visual snow, etc. It probably cut my reading speed in half between the difficulty of looking at black text on a white background in addition to the slightly disorganized thinking. It faded away after a decade or two. I think I still notice it if I look for it, but I try not to. I was absolutely convinced someone would try to dose me again without my consent after that. For years I double checked everything I consumed out of the irrational fear that someone injected LSD into the package(friends of mine joked about doing this, which probably started the worry).
I've used psychedelics since then(although much, much later in life). Nothing ever like it since.
FWIW, if I can offer you anything, it's a hint as to what you probably took.
The only thing I've ever taken + know of with even remotely a 24-hour duration is the "DOx" series, like "DOM", and "DOI", etc.
I felt like I had been dragged through hell and back after the time I willingly + knowingly took a single dose of DOI. No idea who thinks 24 hours awake tripping is a good time.
Ah right, yeah I looked it up years ago and figured it was one of the RCs but couldn't remember which one. I think you're right that it was a DOx compound. It was quite the trip. Extreme time dilation, massive trails, auditory effects... my trip partner thought he died and stopped talking to me shortly after it kicked in.
I also had breathing issues around the tail end of the trip(I think you mentioned something similar). I would start to nod out in my attempt to sleep, but I'd come to after a few minutes, gasping for air.
It was tie-dyed blotter that my friend bought from a Dead show in Sacramento. I've never had anything like it since then.
I think it's a shame that science does not study rare phenomena like this when they arise, I think there is a lot that could be learned from them.

I once took some psychedelics and forgot I had taken them (I was also drinking beer), and I had an experience quite similar to this, but at the time had completely forgotten that I was on psychedelics. I always leave myself a note nowadays.
If you have status, you can leverage that to get money.
The two are not directly fungible, and work is needed to convert one to the other. But it is straightforward to obtain one for the other, in direct proportion to how much money or status you currently have.
The real trick is to have enough money and status, and cleverly use both to simultaneously get more of both.
Those are separate. Though, they do provide a lot of guidance via documentation. They also offer discounted EOY tax services through a partner, which we used and were very affordable.
But there are a number of things you'll have to track and handle yourself, like filing your 83b election with the IRS.
