MDMA long term comedown

Hey guys I’m new to bluelight but have frequently been using it lately to help justify my thoughts. See the thing is, I’m suffering from one of the infamous long term MDMA comedowns. Before I get more in depth with this, I’d like to say that I have a decent amount of experience with drugs. I took shrooms on many occasions, acid, speed, Adderall, and smoked pot religiously for about 3 years. Towards the end of July, me and a few buddies went to a show and we each took about, supposedly, 400mg throughout the night. Since the idea to roll was kind of spontaneous and the night before the show, we got whatever we can. A trusted friend of mine got it for us. The capsules seemed kind of sketchy at first, the rocks were brown and by past experiences with MDMA, this looked like about 500-600 mg. I dosed twice, half and half. I redosed about an hour and a half into my roll. Coming up, I could tell it was crazy stuff. I think I might’ve had a panic attack coming up, but it was ephemeral and subsided in about 5 minutes. I rolled the hardest I ever rolled (I only rolled about 4 times in my life) and it was the most beautiful experience. The comedown was horrible though. One second I was rolling, the next I just got really tired and had to wait about 30 minutes for all of us regroup. Then I had to wait an hour for a ferry, and then another hour for another ferry. In total, it took me about 3 and a half hours to get home. Might I add, the comedown was absolutely horrible.

The night of the show, I couldn’t get any sleep. I kept tossing and turning and waking up in the middle of the night. The next day I felt extremely depersonalized, but I thought it was just the comedown. However, a week later I found myself still living in this “dream world” and suffering horrible migraines from the second I woke up to the second I fell asleep. This happened for about two weeks after the roll and I finally realized what it was the day I had my first panic attack. Since then, it’s been about 4 months. After my first attack, which was minor but extremely over exaggerated, I couldn’t stop panicking. I thought that I could have permanently messed up my brain didn’t leave my mind. I didn’t want to live my life like this. But yeah, it’s been four months, and I can see that I’ve started to feel better. I ditched my crippling agoraphobia, stopped worrying about my health, in relation to the anxiety, and I feel like I can do a lot more things that I couldn’t do the first month. But still this idea that it will never end stays in my head. My symptoms are anxiety (shortness of breath, heart palpitations, fatigue, nausea, and heat flushes/chills), insomnia, and minor depression (the idea that this might stay with me forever or atleast a really long time feeds that depression). These symptoms seem like they got worse since my first panic attack, but I just got better at coping with them. Sorry if this is long, but can anybody relate to this? Does anybody have any recovery stories? I try to stay positive but it's so hard when I know that I brought this upon myself and that I took life for granted :( I’m assuming that this was caused by a serotonin deficiency and that’s my little twinkle of hope, that I can get better but with time. I’d really appreciate it if you guys can give me some feedback. By the way, I quit smoking pot since because it gives me horrible anxiety. I’m really upset at the fact that I can’t smoke a joint with my buds anymore. Has anybody who went through this start to smoke again?
Oh yeah and we labeled the molly we took supahcrack because two of my buddies who also took it also had the same problem. One is at the same spot as I am, but the other recovered after about a month. Was this just really strong molly or do you guys think it was cut with something?

Indeed, sounds like a textbook long-term comedown. It's a good thing you stopped smoking weed- you'll probably be able to enjoy it again after you're better. In the meantime, eat healthy, sleep well, and get plenty of exercise. It might take a while but with time, you'll recover.

As an FYI, 400mg is a LOT of MDMA, for most people doses are in the 100-200 mg range.
 
i had all you describe in your symptons, you will be ok in time (but this is not a flu...takes more time!!) for me diet has been crucial for my recovery, i avoided all carbs, sugar, salt...just veggies and some meat and fish. You have to give you body easy metabolic stuff in the way it use more energy for get the brain balance back.
 
There's a great life on the other side of recovery from MDMA abuse. It can take a long time and be a dark and difficult trek; but it can also be a learning experience that leaves you a better, wiser and more fulfilled person. I'm proof of that. Looking back I'd like to give you some great recipe for success, but in spite of all the talk therapy, self reflection, healthy eating and whatever else I tried it really came down to time for that one incredible day when literally overnight I went from being resigned to feeling dead inside forever to experiencing that wonderful, familiar feeling of optimism, hope and the excitement of being alive that I hadn't felt in so long. I am confident you will feel better with time even if getting there isn't a lot of fun. I wish you all the best.
 
derok and vancbc, how long did it take you guys to recover, or atleast the amount of time before the panicking stopped/you started to feel significantly better and the doses you guys took/how often. I know it's a vague question because everybody is different, but you probably know how curious I must be.
 
the horrendous anxiety stopped on 1 year more or less.
I still have bruxism and twice a month a nervious day, but i can say its fadding, im very happy now :)
im on my 1 year and 8 months more or less
 
I'm new to this site and can say that it has definitely helped and kept me sane through this horrible experience. On Halloween I rolled mdma only .2 and nearly overheated. I went to a club and just freaked out. I was shaking and felt like I was gonna pass out. Luckily i drank water and my friends kept me calm. After a few min i was fine and went back in the club. I have only rolled 4 times in my life. I didn't test it and now I know that was foolish but out of the 8 or so people that took it in the group I was the only one who had such a negative reaction it. I only did .2 there were chicks snorting .6 and drinking alcohol and smoking that we went with. I took it in powder form and put it in water. Wtf, just my luck. A few days later came head pressure and extreme depression. I smoked weed and urged to the er after because of the brain waves I felt and depression. I was moody, fear of death, crying randomly. It was a week of non stop fear. I just began to appreciate my family much more and wanted to be with them or my gf. I live alone so this only made things harder.

It has now been three weeks In and I can say I feel better mood wise. No more mood swings or break down crying. I Still have head pressure and sometimes a pressure behind my right eye which does bother me. I made an appointment to see a neurologist next wk. I haven't been exercising. I just have been praying, thinking positive, and taking vitamins. I'm still scared at times and need peace of mind which I hope to obtain from the neurologist. I know everyone says time but I can't deal with these worries. I work in a hospital emergency room which makes shit worse because I'm seeing traumatizing things daily. Guys I need some recovery help. I am not going to antidepressants or anything. Just fish oil, magnesium, vitamin b12, and one a day multivitamin. I'm trying to beat this thing. I was not a frequent roller. I just need reassurance and support I guess and to hear of some success stories. I've heard people being 7 months in and shit. Freaks me out.

Before you might freak out at how long it took me, keep in mind that I was a long-term user (10+ years) with monthly high dose usage and multiple re-doses over 8 to 12 hours each session. I honestly don't remember since it's taken so long, but I do know that it all started on a Dec 26 when things went horribly wrong at a party where I took "E". That was 3 to 4 years ago, and my big breakthrough moment when I felt great again was mid-September of this year.
