Well over the course of 2 months I've been having severe anxiety issues which I believe are MDMA induced. Sometimes I feel fine for a few days then it out of no where it kicks back in I get this weird feeling like my brain is frying. Also when I get the panick attacks I feel like I could faint at any moment. Anyone here ever been through this? Will it ever go away? I've been going to work every morning and it's starting to really get to me.

Im currently taking 5-htp, omega3, b-complex, & a multivitamin. Tho I've only been on the 5htp for about a week only, the b-complex just took one earlier but the other 2 I've been on for about 2-3 weeks.

The doc gave me some Zoloft which I took once & made feel like I was going to jump out of myself every time I twitched, made my veins appear and a massive headache/confusion the next day so I decided not to take those anymore.
 
How often were you using MDMA before the anxiety issues occurred?

The anxiety thing happens to a lot of people, and it's frightening because you feel like you should be able to control it, but you just can't sometimes. I personally think the anxiety thing may be a chemical imbalance you create after abusing MDMA, and probably takes months of abstaining from drug use to correct- I went through the same thing for a while.

Perhaps talk to your MD about anti anxiety medication specifically- Zoloft is an anti-depressant, and people seem to respond quite differently to it.
 
It does get better. It takes a long time. Improvements are seen over many weeks and months - not days. I don't know if it completely ever goes away. Best advice I can give is give it time and learn techniques to manage the anxiety.
 
Thanks for the replies. I've been doing it for like almost 2 years prob 3 times a month maybe more never had any kind of anxiety issues whatsoever before that. Is this trembling thing normal with anxiety too? I've also noticed I get really hot at night during sleep time now too. At the moment I'm slightly depressed about my situation but I can't stand the anxiety when it hits. I haven't used for about 2 months now & ive got zero appetite as of now. So how long did it take for the anxiety & insomnia to start getting better for you guys that had experienced this?
 
Yeah... What goes up must come down right? I just hope it doesnt get any worse and I really hope its not permanent.

I'm slightly over 4 months away from my last use. My usage pattern was monthly high dose usage for quite a few years with it decreasing to high dose use 4 separate times in 2010. I'm now 4 months after the last time I used. The sleep disruptions are still there, but they happen less often and are less severe. I can now enjoy longer and longer periods of sleep (3 to 4 hours) without awakening and tossing and turning. The general anxiety is also now mostly gone, but it does spontaneously pop up from time to time but usually only in specific situations. For example, this past Friday I went to a psychedelic trance night at a club and it was a bit later than I normally get there - the music was in high gear and it was obvious quite a few people were high and it set off a pretty good bout of anxiety that thankfully didn't last that long.

Best of wishes to you in your recovery.
 
for the last 3 months i was rolling 2 times a week dropping 3 pillz at a time i am feeling the same as you with the anxiety/depression!!!!. but you must go on. you play with fire you get burnt. MDMA is a good thing but, I am currently being taught a life lesson DO NOT ABUSE IT!!!!! because it will mentally cripple you sometimes. I am currently in a leaning phase/life lesson. for the last week i have been taking 5htp daily multi-vitamins and doing some exercise,it seems to be helping a little bit slowly. but i also am on xanax so they could also be helping. but i just want to let you know you are not alone!!! PM me if you need anything because i am going through the same k. peace.
 
Thanks vancbc!!

For sure Redsky!! I tried to pm you but I can't until I turn bluelight status it says haha. How long have you've been feeling it? It's sucks man I've also noticed Im very paranoid too. This has got to be the worst 2 months ever!
 
Of course it goes away, it just takes a lot of patience. I was on the verge of attempting suicide the other day because of it.
 
really warped reality? how much were you abusing it ? pills or molly? what sort of anxiety depression were you getting? PM if you need. i am interested
 
man o man the one thing why people shouldnt abuse mdma....chronic anxiety. Lemme tell you something I partied my ass off with E to the point where I got waves of insane anxiety. I couldn't even live my life the right way cause of it. That shit was a bitch, stop now before it's too late. You don't wanna be put on medication your whole life cause of that shit i'm glad im not. It took me forever to get thru the anxiety stage thank god, but I did.
 
I know exactly 100% what you are talking about, and it lasted a little while for me but it DOES clear up. Just let those serotonin axons start connecting in your brain again, without using neuro toxic drugs like mdma.
 
Try an SSRI like lexapro, the anxiety might be brought on by your brain failing to produce enough serotonin. Good luck everyone, and never give up, time heals all wounds!
 
Thanks guys your inputs has given me a lot of faith in recovery.

F1n1shed & v6mafia how long did it take for the anxiety to go away for you guys? Weeks or months? Any supplements taken during that time?
