MDMA and correct hydration

[james125]

Hello all. Just came back from an evening out, I took two bombs of MDMA ~100mg or so each. 1st 12:00, 2nd 02:00. I had a little bit of a crash at 01:00, but then I had a coke to bring up my sugars and I was feeling good again. Then I crashed again at 03:00, almost like I was floored and had too much MDMA. I tried drinking another coke but it didn't help and despite all the gaviscon that I had been taking my stomach was really upset. Also I was starting to clench my jaw a lot! I was drinking water throughout the roll maybe 4 or 5 500ml bottles. I ended up leaving at 04:30, went to bed and I got up 5 times or so to a full bladder and had to urinate before 10:00.

Presumably I was overhydrated which lowered the concentration of my blood sugars and salts? That explains how to coke initially helped, also I think low magnesium concentration contributes to teeth grinding? What do you guys think?

Too many variables. You probably have taken too much. Maybe next time you stick with the 1st. No need for the second until you figure this out.

"100mg or so each" - did you actually weight these? 2 hours apart but that is a reasonable amount and too high for some - if there guesstimates and actually over you can see it could be too much.
Hydrating on MD isn't complex >just listen to your body and drink if you are thirsty or drink a little bit if you think you haven't for a while - never needed excessive amounts at home at all - out some where hot and dancing/sweating you would need a little more.

you could have some gatorade while rolling so your hydrating and keeping salt and sugar balance in check at the same time. plus gatorade has a little magnesium which will help with muscular side effects of rolling.(jaw tension, muscle cramps, twitching, etc.)

when i roll i usually drink water and mountain dew and if im goin extra hard i get gatorade.

it could well be that it was. redosing the same amount will get you disproportionally larger blood concentrations.

my stomach was really upset. Also I was starting to clench my jaw a lot! I was drinking water throughout the roll maybe 4 or 5 500ml bottles. I ended up leaving at 04:30, went to bed and I got up 5 times or so to a full bladder and had to urinate before 10:00.

these are all normal side effects people can get from mdma. and they more likely to occur the more often you have taken mdma and the higher your dose is. i certainly get all 3 of them. jaw clenching is there pretty much for everyone, stomach upset occurs for some people (and is according to some alleviated by not eating beforehand, according to others by eating a small meal beforehand and according to others by drinking ginger tea beforehand. make of that what you will...), having to get up to pee while sleeping is what makes me choose camping spots near toilets at festivals when i plan to take mdma.

as sir ron pin said, "drink when thirsty" is everything you need to know about hyration, really. the problem isn't that you won't feel thirst, it's rather that it won't bother you that much and dancing to this insanely great music therefore might seem more appealing than getting some water.

Thanks everyone

Generally in everyday life I drink water in excess my urine is always clear. I'll need to start drinking more conservatively, maybe bring some rehydration salts in as the venue I frequent lacks any sports drinks. Also for the stomach I have Omeprazole 20mg prescribed (proton pump) so I can bring a few of those. I have purchased a drug scale so I can pre-weigh bombs.
