Right, where to start... Basically was looking for someone with insight or maybe some professional knowledge or even similar stories.
I went to a festival in Croatia, September 2014. I had suffered pretty badly with anxiety on and off for 18months before but I t had been much better than when I first experienced it
Before I went I was very stressed and anxious again. I was very apprehensive of taking anything whilst there in case I made this worse, but obviously I ended up taking half a gram of MDMA one night
I slept OK that night, but the day after I felt extremely different really spaced out and depersonalised and I didn't sleep at all for the rest of my holiday, couldn't eat, body was shaking/tremors, felt really confused about everything etc etc.
after returning home, I had insomnia for 3 months, couldn't eat for 1 month, had terrible anxiety, DP/DR, was depressed, was paranoid about going insane all the usual anxiety shit, but was far worse then ever before
I managed to get on top of these things eventually, treating it as anxiety, but I am still anxious/DP'd/confused and find myself constantly worrying about existential things since (feels like I broke something in my brain).
I then heard about serotonin syndrome around February 2015, and wondered if this is what actually happened? and would also like to just get on with dealing with it if is just anxiety etc.
and If it is, does anyone have any advice/prognosis? it seems a pretty little known thing to go to the doctors about
Thanks
