Some, but not all, users of MDMA report a dramatic drop in mood as the peak effects of MDMA wear off. This is often called the "crash". Users who experience crashes, report that they do not always get them with MDMA and many users report no crash.
The crash is the experience of having a harsh or difficult transition from the very open, happy, and wonderful experience of the peak effects of MDMA back to baseline consciousness. Many users report a feeling of loss as the effects wane, feeling 'burned out', or having strong feelings of sadness, dread, or annoyance.
While it is not unexpected to have some nostalgia or sadness associated with ending a very joyous experience, the disparity between the peak of the high and the low of coming down can be overwhelming for some users. Some users report crying & sobbing as the effects of the experience wear off.
One of the primary problems associated with crashing is that some users find the come-down so difficult that they re-dose multiple times in order to stave it off. This generally leads to worse hangovers, using more than initially intended, and often regretting the re-dose the next day. Many users choose to take other psychoactive substances in order to 'soften the landing', such as alcohol, valium, LSD, mushrooms, amphetamines, 2CB, et cetera.
The "crash" experience is not unique to MDMA and is found after many intense drug and non-drug experiences.

Anyone actually experienced this? If so, what was your dosage, times you ingested, and any other relevant details. The main part was the "crying/sobbing" that seems like a rather full on/emotional experience.
Does anyone think this could be a total depletion of serotonin? Any other info would be great. Thanks.
