heavy breathing/upper back discomfort 2 days after ecstasy

hey guys, I took a pill and a half of ecstasy this past weekend (Saturday) at a rave. the pills are strong, and I've taken it a month before. but, a month before I took half, then the other half 45mins-60mins later. and I didn't have these side effects I've been getting these past few days. I did not test the pills, I assumed it was good because my roll was awesome the last time I tested these pills. these are the same pills because I bought 5 and I did not use it all.

the first time I rolled with these pills, I had a lot of burping issues throughout the rave, and sometime I has a little bit of a hard time breathing. but I had just assumed it was what I ate before I took the pills. the come down was the usual, I couldn't sleep for a day, and no appetite. I recovered fine after two days from taking the pill ( first time).

the second time I took these pills, I took half more than the first time. I popped one at 8, then half at 1015. keep in mind I was sweating a lot, dancing a lot, I barely took breaks. the rave was 4 hours. and when I started to come down I had burping issues again. this time it was worst, and my breathing was worst too. i had to burp in order to feel to be able to breathe again. however, it didn't last for long. I left the rave, around 2AM. my body felt tired and my muscles were spasming here and there. went home, couldnt sleep, no appetite all of Sunday which was expected. I slept for a bit Monday morning and I was able to eat again. so I assumed I was recovering. Monday afternoon, I had three drinks with a friend felt buzzed ( I havent drank in a while probably 4-5 weeks). felt good, went home. later that night I went out for food and drinks again. I drank two 24oz of beers. keep in mind my body has not fully recuperated from no sleep. anyway, after I got back an hour later around 12-1am (Tuesday morning) I had a weird discomfort to my upper back and I had a hard time breathing. I thought I was just congested from the room I was in ad I walked outside for fresh air, it didn't go away. and now I'm paranoid that I caught something. I freak myself out a lot I can't help it. then I had a weird rush thruough my head and that made my stomach feel weird almost like I wanted to vomit. but I didn't. I don't know If I was just scarring myself.

throughout the night I moved around a lot and couldn't sleep on my bed. I kept tossing and turning. I still had a hard time breathing and my upper back still was very uncomfortable. I finally fell asleep around 6-7 AM. and woke up at 12PM. but it was still going on. throughout all of Tuesday, upper back discomfort and hard time breathing. when this happens I always zone myself out and think of bad shit in my head lol. I know that's a big issue. and at times I feel tired too. I dont if it's due to my breathing. moreover, Wednesday morning (3-4) am I fell asleep. woke up at 2PM. I thought I would feel better today but I didn't. still the same. but now sometime I would feel discomfort to my lower back also. at night seems like it always happens the worst. the heavy breathing comes and goes. today, Thursday, I've had the breathing issue this morning when I woke up but not as bad. right now it's fine, but I still feel a light discomfort to my back. I am just afraid that it's gonna hit me hard again tonight.

anyway, i been really scared and I don't know what's wrong with me. I been researching a lot based on what my side effects are. have any of you guys have the same issue? I hope I didn't damage my lungs or anything. oh forgot to mention, I'm still feeling pretty slow. for example, I dont process things in my head while watching tv. I don't know if it's cuz I'm too concentrated on my breathing. but yea, I do feel out of it in the head also.

sorry for writing so much. just looking for some answers. thanks guys!
 
sounds like its all in your head to me man. take a break from drugs for a while and see if your paranoia calms down a bit. other than that....your back hurts...take some asprine and go to bed.

Sorry to hear your having a rough time.

When you took the first pill it was only half so from personal experience this can often allow you to get through an experience of a bad pill due to the fact the dose is quite low.

You mention burping a lot. This is quite strange for only half a pill. This burping is caused by some kind of reaction happening in your stomach the pill could be reacting with something you have eaten difficult to say.

I also find it weird you lose appetite and cant sleep for a day after taking just a half. It would seem to me the pill is not MDMA. Personally on half a pill of MDMA I can sleep and would not experience much appetite loss but this is always different for everyone.

Once you describe your second experience of your bad time now with one and a half pills. They are clearly potent messing up sleep this time in a worse way. You are now reporting breathing problems.

Personally i have never had breathing problems with pills before. I cant see how the pills would affect the lungs. I can understand them causing you to burp but not sure how they could affect breathing.

In this case I would advise a trip to the doctor just to be sure.

It could be something more serious, it could be paranoia as matt2012 mentions.

One thing I would say is if you have any more of these pills axe them. Sounds like a nasty research chemical to me.

Are you based in the USA by any chance? Seems the quality of the pills over there can be a little risky at times :-)


Good luck

Hope you receover soon.

It could have been cut with something like methylone which creates upper back tension, I know when I bought something inside a rave once (stupid, I know) I knew it was methalone (although it was sold as MD) and after I'd gummed it I got intense backaches and upper back/neck tension.

Just a thought!

And as for the breathing, my friend once reported having weird heart beats the day after but it goes away. If you're still experiencing the same breathing tomorrow go with your instinct and perhaps get a check up??? Better safe than sorry bro!
 
hey guys, thanks for the reply and information.
futura2012 -- yeah, I'm probably not going to take these pills again, on top of that I don't think I'm honna do drugs for a while. and yes I am located in USA, California.

forwardmotions -- how long did you have upper back tension for?

Yeah, I think these pills were definiately cut with something else also. however i havent gone to the doctor. but today, I feel a lot better than the past couple days. today has been a week since I took the pills. my upper back seems not so much discomfort anymore, and my breathing seems to be a lot better, and I feel like I can focus and be myself more often now.

I do have a question though, how long does it usually take before side effects usually goes away if a bad pill was taken. do you guys have any information on that? oh yeah, one of my friend that took the same pills with me that night also mentioned to me that he still has a problem speaking sometimes. his side effects are different from mine.

thanks again guys!
 
forwardmotions -- how long did you have upper back tension for?

I only had the upper back tension while I was coming up from the high so for like 3 hours or so? Maybe you just had a bad reaction? Or maybe your back hurts from all that dancing! I know mine does if I go to a long rave. I can guarantee the back pain will subside, I'd be more concerned about the breathing!

Hmm there's no way to tell unless you got your pill tested and identified the substance in it that's causing these problems. It was probably cut with something like DMT or methylone. It's down to individual differences, your comedown will make you more paranoid so it's probably worrying you a lot more than it normally would. Eat fruit take vitamin C go for a run - trust me you'll feel so much better afterwards!

Learn from your mistake - your lucky nothing worse happened from your untested pill! Pills cannot be trusted these days stay waaaay away from them. Stick to crystals (not powder either) If your in the US, I've heard it's harder and harder to get any form of clean mdma these days. So it's even more worth while investing in a kit they don't cost that much if you buy them online. It's not worth risking your health and wasting your money!

Stay safe man :)
 
Hey Mguy

Glad to hear you are getting better! A sign of good things to come.

As forward motion has said predicting a recovery time on an unknow substance is difficult to say but on the basis you are already recovering well then I reckon the recovery is likely to be weeks rather than months. Count yourself lucky for this :-)

So California supposed to be the home of the pokeball lab isnt it? If you get an original pokeball from the reports they look good :-) When I was in Miami last year I had a pill and sure enough it was laced with a weird research chemical a kind of Ketamine/LSD/Speed experience all combined very weird. I dont envy you guys over there as it seems the temptation to produce RC style pills in USA is too much for an average lab/press to resist. I also notice that pills over there that are shaped such as shell symbols, faces, bart simpsons etc the quality is just total garbage.

Again I agree with forward motions I would recommend you stick with the crystal and not the pills. For me I always look for light brown crystaline / scent of liquorice aniceed / not powder / not white. If you combine this with a test kit you should be okay. I know MDMA can be white but its just too easy to cut when its white. Most of the good stuff I see over here is light brown in colour.

Your friend describing difficulty with speech definitely indicates to me really nasty pills you have sourced so for sure junk anything you have left.

I reckon your decision to axe drugs for now is really positive and perhaps see this as a turning point. For me I am totally burnt out from MDMA and if I could have my time again I would definitely have avoided drugs all together. I feel now theres many more things in life that are way more important than drugs and its these awful come downs that sometimes makes us realise this important point.

I cant answer your recovery time question but the following will speed up the process:

Quality Sleep (Dark, Quiet, Level Bed)
Good Exercise (lots of cardio)
Some basic suppliments (5HTP, Omega 3, Krill, Genko) (loads more check out some research on here)
Avoid Stress
Keep Relaxed

Take it easy. Very happy to hear you are all on the road to recovery
