Last night I took .05mg of MDMA and 5 minutes after I took it I freaked out and made myself throw it up. I have really bad anxiety and obviously just wasn't ready to take it. I didn't really feel any of the MDMA effects. I felt tired and a little shaky but I mostly just had stomach issues which are normal for me when I get incredibly nervous. I fell asleep after a few hours but kept waking up. I managed to sleep for a good 2 hours straight by the end of the night though. Now, the next morning, I feel pretty much fine but my head hurts a little bit which I think is because of my lack of sleep and my stomach is still worked up. I am taking trips to the bathroom quite frequent. I am incredibly anxious and worried that this could be due to serotonin syndrome and I was just hoping that someone could shed some light on this to help put my mind at ease. I have talked to two close friends of mine who have done MDMA many times before and they said I was fine, I just wanted to get your guys' opinions. Please help me put my mind at ease.
Thanks.
 
Do you take any other serotonergic medications? if not, it's impossible you got Serotonin Syndrome from 50mg and you just had an anxious reaction with physical side effects.

Either way, Serotonin Syndrome is an acute condition and doesn't last for many hours(certainly not days). Most cases aren't life threatening and if you would've had a bad episode of SS you would've known and probably called an ambulance. Rest assured, you are ok :)

In the future though, I recommend not taking drugs if you're extremely uncomfortable/anxious about it.
 
I used to take prozac but I have not taken that for months. It's been over 8 hours now and i just feel anxious and a little weak but I assume it could be from not eating/puking/lack of sleep. You are pretty positive I'm fine? Thank you so much for responding. I definitely learned my lesson about being anxious and just going for it anyway, that's for sure!
 
Well, Prozac actually takes away your ability to roll so there's no dangerous interaction with MDMA there(certainly not something that can cause SS). Besides, you said yourself you haven't taken it in months so you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

You're just shaken up from your anxiety attack earlier and obviously feel weak after puking, skipping sleep and fasting. If your stomach's better now try and get some food in you(something light, and not too fat, like a salad) and take a nap. I'm sure you'll feel a million times better after that.
 
Okay. Thank you so much. I feel better just hearing that there's no way I could've had SS. Thank you again.!
 
Why do you even take it if you're so anxious and unknowing about the effects (e.g. if it can causes serotonin symdrome at 50mg)?
I never understand the group of people who take a drug like this (which is obviously has strong effects) and freak out even when they feel something...
 
I did plenty of research on this before doing it. I had been wanting to for months and when I finally got the chance, my anxiety got the best of me and all I could think about was SS and how I was going to die. Obviously my anxiety has gotten out of control again and perhaps I should go back on my medication or something but you mind is a powerful things and because I had the doubt in my head already, my body probably forced itself to feel like I had SS as well. Obviously in my mind I sort of knew that it was pretty impossible for me to get SS from the small dosage that I did but that does not stop the anxiety from coming and being reassured and a wonderful thing.
 
You're completely fine, its because of the anxiety I bet that is what made you stay up all night and worry about this.


Don't stress you really did not do much MDMA, like you said you didn't really feel much of the effects. The constant trips to the toilet is probably 'pre-flight syndrome' like you get nervous and you need to use the restroom before a flight, nothing to worry about just don't stress. :)
 
You did not get serotonin syndrome.

You psyched yourself out and had some anxiety.

Honestly, aside from anxiety, you described none of the symptoms.
 
Nobody caught the .05mg's? He didn't say 50mgs.
If this was the case, it was completely all in your head! .05 mg's would just do absolutely nothing.
 
.05 is next to nothing. You find most MDMA horror seratonin stories in the half gram+ range. If you have seratonin syndrome from a .05 dose, then I have a huge dick. Ill give you time to stop laughing. It just isnt reality.

Ive come to believe ecstasy is waaaaay overblown in the enjoyment category. Ive taken small doses, big doses, and monstrous doses, from moonrocks to molly to pills cut with everything, and never once experienced this "hug everyone, rub the curtains, in love with everything" vibe that you hear from some people.

IMO, you hear these stories from the same type of people who hallucinate after eating some weed. Not to say it doesnt happen, but the average Joe just doesnt get off like this. Your mileage may vary but honestly dude, if you never do XTC again, youre not missing a damn thing.

Low dosages are known to cause uncomfortable body sensations. I took 60mg once and almost started tearing out my hair because I was so uncomfortable. You really have to take a full dose or don't take anything at all.

MDMA also is the only drug that causes puking for me. I can't dose MDMA once without puking my guts out or feeling sick as fuck.

And if you have a negative trip, the comedown and hangover is likely going to be much more painful.

xtc has a lot more to do with just taking the drug and automatically getting an amazing experience.....set and setting and your own personal mindset and ability to "let go" has ALOT to do with feeling the emotions people talk about, its not automatic. I took xtc about 8 times before I finally had an amazing earth-shattering experience....i hadn't taken it for a year, I took ALOT, and i was at the biggest music festival in the world, had met this amazing girl I was spending the whole evening with, and my favorite DJ of all time was playing....and i was with two friends it was their first time rolling (plus everyone around us was too)

....needless to say....ALL THESE FACTORS not just taking mdma...made me have a magical experience that made me finally understand what all of the hype was about.....i became to enchanted with it and obsessed bc the experience was so good and tried to repeat the majic 1) in my room on a random night 2) at a shitty every weekend type of club etc....yo uget the idea...and it was never that good again
 
Your fine, just freaked out and had a panic attack. .05 is a small dose anyways, even if pure. It probably wouldn't have been enough to feel even the threshold effects.
 
I wish people hadn't ever heard of serotonin syndrome, I've only seen a few threads on here where anyone actually had serotonin syndrome
Anyone who has a freakout or panic attack from doing mdma or even just pukes from it assumes they have serotonin syndrome

I handle my rolls pretty well, I've never puked on MDMA, not that I haven't heard of others frequently doing it. I'm just saying I haven't felt this agitation you describe of. Has anyone else experienced this?

Oath. It's not helpful when everyone is scattered as fuck on Sundays trying to google their symptoms and find that shit all over the place. It's incredibly worthwhile to be aware of, just wish more ACCURATE information was posted on every single of the 50,000+ pages on it.
 
I don't get the confusion really.
You did a stimulant, and now have anxiety and a comedown, what did you expect to feel like rainbows and sunshine the day after binging on a half gram of mdma?
