Frequently getting sick after MDMA use?

[Hyades]

Has anyone noticed their immune system has taken a hit from MDMA use (even when you're not overdoing it)?

I'm terribly sick right now with some vague combination of the flu, bronchitis, and a sinus infection-- and it came over me about a week after my last roll. After thinking about how I've been sick several times in the past few months, I looked back at my calendar and discovered that without fail, I keep coming down with a cold about a week after rolling (and this is totally separate from any initial comedown effects). I'm spacing out my rolls and keeping my doses fairly moderate (~150-200mg).

My diet is pretty healthy (no junk food, mostly paleo-- lots of veggies, fruit, and meat), and I get a fair amount of exercise, and take vitamins when I remember, so it's kind of frustrating to be sick all the time. >_<

Anyone else have this problem? What do you do in between rolls to stay healthy? Do you pre/postload with anything specifically to help your immune system, and not just neurotoxicity/the comedown?

Drug use does weaken your immune system yes, I've noticed myself frequently getting sick after doing large amounts of drugs whatever they may be.

Going to big events puts you around a lot of people... just a thouht...

And drugs can certainly impair your immune system...

Plus when your messed up you touch all sorts of nasty filthy things and dont care lol... i do anyways lol

Hey there,
I have no spleen and therefore have a weakened immune system, i have gotten sick from rolling before but all you have to do is take these when you drop the m
-1000mg Vitamin C
-100mg Zinc
-2 Multivitamins

and heres some other stuff you should take so you dont do damage to your brain and body
-3500mg 5-Htp ( take this the second you stop rolling)
Omega 3 fish oil( preferably krill) take 3-4 of these, if they're the huge ones then 2
and the next day in the morning try to eat a salad with as many veggies as possible, then drink a lot of water and sleep

hope it helps
- Let the good times roll

Did you mean 350mg 5-HTP? 3,500mg of 5-HTP is a ridiculous dosage. Sounds almost dangerous to take that much.

I make this joke all the time in the winter: "Who would have thought that partying all night in a closed environment with a bunch of fucked up people could lead getting sick, lol"...

It happens all... the... time...

I will say this: bring and use hand-sanitizer throughout the night.. since I started doing this I do not get sick nearly as much...

Eat healthy organic food. Ive never gotten sick after rolling since changing my diet. I used to get sick as a dog after rolling. MDMA does lower your immune system temporarily.

^ excellent advice.

Yeah, I barely get sick at all in the first place, and when I do its only minor sniffles.
if im ever on blow or m and im already sniffly, I find the 'upper' effects of those drugs more or less clears my sinuses while im high. It puts your body in overdrive, so i feel like it hides the sickness while im buzzed up.
The next day the sinuses come back though, suggesting to me the drugs only put my cold on hold, or prolong it, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
But I've never found myself getting sick specifically from drugs.

Railing a big line of PCP before doing MDMA stops the nausea

MDMA always impairs my immune system. I have to take precautions before and after taking it, like making sure my diet is impeccable and that I'm getting enough key nutrients like vitamin C. Over all I would say MDMA depletes the body and requires some degree of recovery following use, unless you're lucky enough to be a rapid metabolizer who has no after effects.
