Anything like an opioid that's laced with a little fentanyl, you feel shaky, your skin gets clammy, your breathing becomes shallow, you get an ill feeling like nausea, you can't really be responsive like nothing around you matters you're kind of just laying there and you nod in and out. I would say that feels more like dying, but that could be because you could literally be overdosing. Mix it with a powerful stimulant like meth, so you're more aware and it gives you some restless feeling instead of being fully sedated, and yeah, that feels like the verge of death, but that's just my personal experience. Meth or I guess other stimulants can give you some anxiety. That mix of up and down.
Obviously, that could literally kill you, so. It's dependent on your dose and your own reaction to it as well. Its subjective I guess but also in the case above you could be overdosing, you could be dying or you could be neither, it really depends. But your also high so you feel good too.
I don't really feel like psychedelics feel like dying, they just feel like you're on psychedelics.
