Hi everyone,
This is my first post - basically I'm eager to get some opinions on whether it would be wise to take MDMA again, given my current health condition.
I have autoimmune liver disease and significant scarring of the liver: a few months ago I took 1/8 of a gram of MDMA and proceeded to have the most indescribably incredible experience of my entire life to date.
Prior to this I had dredged up as much of the literature on harm reduction that I could find and took the appropriate measures to ensure I was safe (even including setting an hourly timer to measure fluid intake...).
The next day, though I felt fine, it transpired I had become extremely jaundiced (we're talking a lurid yellow) for about 4 hours after dropping; my pupils had dilated so far as to take over my entire eye and I may or may not have also temporarily passed out from the sheer pleasure on the come up (though this cannot be confirmed and I don't recall fainting). I buzzed intensely for 8 hours, even on this relatively low dose.
All this was very worrying BUT at my next regular blood test all the liver function tests were excellent and there appears to have been no permanent damage done.
My question is this: would it be incredibly stupid to take MD again given my reaction? Would taking two smaller doses over the course of a few hours be more sensible? Is the likelihood of an idiosyncratic reaction to MD less likely the second time? Are there any other recreational substances that may prove less hepatotoxic?
Thank you all for your time.
