Friend did MDMA 3 weeks ago. Still suffers from insomnia and panic attacks

[cuntball]

I did MDMA with a friend 3 weeks ago. I was fine but he went nuts. Started suffering from bad anxiety and panic attacks straight away, with an occasional period of good feelings and calmness.

3 weeks later and it's still bad. He hasn't slept for almost three days and is basically shaking in fear alone in his apartment. He's afraid of even leaving his home, eating etc. Craziest anxiety I've ever seen. He has broken down and cried multiple times too.

He had minor anxiety prior to taking MDMA. Any idea why he isn't getting back to his previous state? Is he messed up for good?

I suppose there are more knowledgeable people than me on this subject but I would suggest healthy foods, exercise and a regular sleep/resting pattern for the next 5-6weeks. If there hasn't been a positive turn by then maybe you should seek professional help ?

How was this MDMA tested? Reagent? Sent into Edata? What dose did he take? Does he have any history of mental illness aside from the slight anxiety you mentioned?

Need more info

Achten - it's not me, it's actually my friend. I'm worried because I gave it to him.

MDMA was from a very reputable source and it was definitely pure MDMA. We both went overboard with the re-dosing (stupid I know) and he probably took around 300mg. It was his first time.

Some people just don't like it, I don't know why. Perhaps there are other contributing factors, the pill my have been adulterated. I agree with everyone above, but then no one I know has had a bad experience. It may have just been nerves sometimes a few days later some people are known to suffer from mild depression for a few days (or wash out wed as my mum calls it)

 

[cuntball]

Mild depression? Yeah, that's what I experienced for a day after doing it. He, however, has been fucked up for three weeks afterwards and is on the verge if taking his life if this doesn't end.

If that's the case I'd suggest talking with your friend about professional help. I hope all turns out well.

Yes I agree with Achten. I give you both my love x

I always take some 5 htp post roll and find so long as I'm eating clean and lifting I maybe get the anxiety attacks for few days. I also take some fish oils - they help - wish him the best!

Does he take any prescriptions?

 

[cuntball]

Does he take any prescriptions?

Anti-inflammatory drugs for nerve inflammation I think. Not sure. I gave him my xanax but it was only a temporary relief.

 

[cuntball]

Could it be that his serotonin is not recovering or something?

I just experienced the EXACT same thing. Mine only lasted about 2 weeks although I'm still feeling the anxiety a bit. It's seriously all in your friends head. I know its the hardest thing to stop thinking about it but what helped me the most was talking to someone who I look up to and when this person told me I would be okay, it calmed me down and I realized I was over reacting and that it will pass. I'm still struggling with being back to my old self but I just keep telling myself that it's all in my head and that if I get back into my normal routine I will forget about it and feel like myself again. Hope this helped!

I have something like this after crazy nights with psychedelics and AMT. Not so severe, though

 

[thizzin' since 98]

Hmm, 3 weeks seems like a while. The average person usually recovers within 7-10 days after use. I would say taking 5-htp and Omega 3 for a few weeks could help, but don't go overboard on the 5-htp, take only as directed. Taking too many mg's could lead to serotonin syndrome. I would also suggest taking .5mg xanax every day to give him the relief he needs now, but don't make it a habit.

Just until he can see a doctor if the problems don't subside.

sounds like classic overdoing of mdma. i've done it, not with just a one time thing but many many times then this happened, took 4/5 months to get back to normal, 4 months of absolute hell planning to kill myself, never sleeping, not eating, eating too much.

it's really crap, benzo's didn't touch the sides, weed makes it worse, only real cure is time.

 

[pmz]

fuck im dealing with the same shit. I cant sleep for crap. its a absolute nightmare. How is ur friend doing?

 

[F1n1shed]

I love how people always blame it on something else like how do you know it was MDMA, was it tested blah blah.
As if MDMA is not a potent neuro-toxin, and has high potential for causing long lasting brain abnormalities. Uhgg... i'm off it.

And stay off it. Not worth it in the end man. This shit sucks

Sounds like he didn't use a test kit and took way too much, so this is not surprising at all. He'll probably be fine in a few weeks.

MDMA is harmful if abused, but a huge number of problems (and most deaths) associated with ecstasy use are caused by adulterated pills and powders. When I say "get a test kit," It's not because I think OP's product wasn't MDMA, it's because I want OP to start using a test kit in the future so he or she will be safer.

There is a safe way to use MDMA, and that's what this forum is about.
