Long story short, in case someone has little time to read the full story:
I smoked about 150-200mg of MDPV throughout a small binge of 26 hours. Half way through I started to experience muscle shacking and some time later imbalance problems and a general lack of motor precision. I was rigid. I also felt pins and needles in my legs. My reflexes are bad.
I went to sleep and woke up 3 hours later unable to go back to sleep. My general motor coordination was horrible: My walking is impaired as I cannot move my ankles. The ankles are perfect, it seems that the signal from the brain is not getting there. I cant feel one half of one of my toes. I also have minor imbalance problems and my moves are clumsy, slow and imprecise. It is difficult to grab food from the fork or type in the computer.
I have not read of this symptoms happening to anybody before. So I am very worried that, instead of getting back to normal soon, this will be a permanent condition. I walk like a persona recovering from a back injury
However the lack of reports on people with akinesia/parkinsonism makes me hope it might solve itself.
Have you ever experienced anything similar? Any ideas? Thank you

Now the detailed version:
Hello guys,
I am a bit concerned for my health and motor coordination since the last time I did MDPV, yesterday. I have looked in scientific papers and anecdotal reports from the internet but found no case as mine. Let me explain:
I have been on a short MDPV smoking binge that has lasted for about 26 hours, finishing this Sunday morning. Throughout that time I did not sleep, and had just a few pieces of fruit to eat. I drank plenty of water and took magnesium and vitamin supplements. Also just before the experience started and when I was half way through I took some valium to get ridge of the edginess. I also took at the beginning some average dose of GHB.
I don't know exactly how much MDPV I smoked in total, I guess around 150 - 200mg. I started taking low doses but as time passed and tolerance settled I was taking almost three times as much as the initial dosages (but of course the rush was pretty lame in comparison). Doses were spaced sometimes an hour and sometime 20 minutes between each other. There was a point around the 12 hour mark that I started to experience some shakes and twitches in the muscles that I was using at the moment, but not when they were relaxed. A little while later I started to experience some unbalance problems in which I would just lose equilibrium. I felt "rigid". Then I started experiencing some motor discordination: My moves were slow, clumsy and imprecise. For example it was hard to smoke the MDPV in aluminium because it was very complicated for me to hold the flame at the correct distance while holding the aluminium and inhaling through the straw, I burnt the MDPV or dropped it most of the times. I also saw I wrote super slow on the computer and made mistakes all the time. As if I could not manage to hit the correct key. It was not a clumsiness that you'd get while being drunk or anything, it was just as if I was rigid, as if my muscles ware made out of wood. I also got some tingly feelings on my legs. I thought all these motor problems existed because I was high for quite some time already (I had previously only taken MDPV very rarely and on low dosages).
A little before finishing the 26 hour session I started to experience the beginning of some psychotic symptoms. It surprised me as I read it usually happened at the 3 days. These consisted on some weird noises and sounds,some visual distortions like seeing black things move in the corner of my eye, or small dust balls that seemed to move like insects. So I took a shower about 2 hours after the last dose and went to sleep. Before doing so I realised my moves were slow and my muscles still rigid and imprecise, but I thought I was just extremely tired. I was hoping for a long sleep to recover.
I woke up however about 3 hours later and unable to sleep again. I was feeling very bad physically and psychologically. I realised that I could not move my legs correctly, but I thought it must have been a postural thing during the night. I woke up and went to the bathroom and almost fell to the ground. My body was not obeying my orders correctly! I realised this effect happened with more intensity in my feet, I am not able to bend the ankle or my toes upwards at all, and this makes walking complicated. It is as if my brain can't send the signal to the ankle, so it doesn't move. It is very frustrating to think to do a movement at that it just does not happen. However the ankle is in perfect shape and has no restrictions as you can move it freely with your hand. I have also realised there is a lack of sensibility in half of one of my toes. I can feel the right part but not the left one. My general body movements are slow, rigid and imprecise. I am moving as someone who had done too much sport the previous day and now it hurts if he moves too much. I have also realised that my reflexes have gone down considerably and I make constant mistakes while using the computer as well as simple tasks as getting a potato with a fork. Mu balance is also quite bad.
I have read here:
http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showwiki.php?title=MDPV That at least three people have experiences something similar to me
, but it did not last once the effects of the drug were down. They have called it "Parkinsonism" o "Akinesia". In my case it has been happening for 15 hours after my last dose. Needless to say, I am extremely worried this effects are permanent, however taking in account that there have not been any documented cases, I hope it's not permamnent.
As far as I know this might be due to the MDPV having caused an imbalance (depletion) in the dopamine motor areas of the brain (striatum?), and things should return to normal once the normal levels of dopamineare reached. However it is hard to believe for me, as I have been trying all afternoon to move my ankle in vain, and it would seem like magic if tomorrow everything was fine again. Plus why is half of my toe numb?
My real worry is if instead of a dopamine unbalance there has been neuronal death in the dopamine neurons, in which case I'm fucked. My hope is that taking in account the crazy doses people have been using for some years already and that we have heard nothing about it, these symptoms will soon subside.
So what do you guys think? Has someone experienced something similar? Thank you very much.
