Abused MDMA, currently on a break

[iamuser999]

I recently stopped abusing MDMA, but it did it significantly, once to three times a week. I did it for 6 months regularly some nights up to 800mg and some times 3 days in a week totaling to 700mg.

I would take usually a week break every time i take such large amounts and would get brain zaps and sleep paralysis from heavy nights of rolling. This wouldn't occur if I dosed 200mg in a week. The comedowns never effected me too much and I didn't really see a change in my mood or memory or concentration.

I started taking a break because I feel like farther down the line I would start seeing noticeable changes in my concentration or mood. (I am never depressed and would only get slightly depressed the day right after rolling and was fine day after.)

I think of myself to be an above average intelligence guy and is decently healthy... How long of a break is necessary should I take before dosing again?

maybe 6 months

Necessary for what exactly? Staying safe? Preserving the beauty of the experience? It's good to see that you're reducing your MDMA use. The drug has dangers when it's not used properly.

It could be much worse... No worse part of my life than MDMA-induced depression... Pure fucking hell.

I would keep your rolling to every 3 months. IMO anything less is pushing it, some say once a month, even that is too short. Once you abuse MDMA and it bites you in the ass enough for you to respect it then you will understand, but take it from me it is a very hard lesson to learn and even after a year I still haven't regained the magic.

Also, keep your dosing to an initial dose, followed by a redose and leave it at that. Learn to cherish and respect MDMA for what it is.

I absolutely agree!
I have not yet tried it again after my abuse, I'm on an 8 month rest now, and I'm thinking about trying it again after a year.
It got me to my knees with a depression once, which went away after 3 months, but I started using again right after that.
Less often, but still quite often.
The depression didn't come back, but the doses became higher and higher and it just wasn't any fun anymore.
