Hi there. New poster here.
Some background - I used to use MDMA regularly, pretty high doses, fairly often (probably too often), along with a range of other stimulants, for a period of 5 years. During the last two years have only used MDMA sporadically, maybe twice or three times. and I have in that period been recovering from cocaine addiction. As of last weekend, I was five months free of any drug other than weed or alcohol.
also - not sure if relevant, but I take the supplements Magnesium L-Threonate, and Ashwagandha, daily. I have stopped taking them for the last few days as I was worried that the issues i'm having may be related to some kind of interaction between them and the MDMA - i've read that Ashwagandha has some effect on neurotransmitters but I don't fully understand what that is.
This brings me to last weekend. Long story short, ended up at a party, ingesting two (and a half) bombs of MDMA, insufflating a small amount (un-crushed, not sure if that's relevant) probably 0.3-0.5g in total over the course of 6-7 hours. A fair amount, but not extreme in comparison, to what I might previously take without ill effect. Fast forward to Monday morning.
Have experienced the usual comedown symptoms, which I am not surprised by - mild depression, fatigue etc. But on top of these, I have felt extremely disoriented and overheated, with a head-swimming type feeling i've not experienced before. I've felt subtly nauseous, not enough to fully throw up, and my stomach has felt 'off', with an odd metallic taste in my mouth. And worst of all, I've been having worrying headaches, the likes of which I have not felt before. From online research it seems that they are 'tension headaches' - it feels as if the skin on my scalp is stretched super tight, with pain radiating around my head, from my temples to the top of my skull. It's an odd pain, not like anything I've felt before, and it's making me feel extremely disoriented and somewhat nauseous. It's not sharp and disabling like a migraine, but is quite intense, very uncomfortable and almost constantly present.
I know you guys aren't doctors, and I'm not here asking for medical advice, but maybe if anyone has any ideas or thoughts as to what's happened here it would help me understand. I know what a comedown feels like, this feels entirely different, but it was brought on by the MDMA nonetheless. I told myself I'd wait and see if it goes away, it's been over a week now and I'm more than a little worried i've done some kind of damage that may not pass - something nervous system related, maybe. Needless to say I am a little freaked out. Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.
