TDS Accidentally Took 750mg MDMA

[Woggins]

I'll preface this by saying I'm aware I'm a moron.

I have taken it before, 200mg to be precise about 5 years ago with some friends I visited at uni, so I knew more or less what to expect from the dose I thought I was taking, and have also taken speed on several occasions. Having never bought anything from the deep web before and being curious about the authenticity and quality as compared to street stuff, as well as not having any suitable events with friends planned any time soon, I decided to test a small sample to gauge the stuff. I intended to weigh out 75mg but due to haste, stupidity and inexperience I managed to weigh out ten times that (something about Social Darwinism would fit in well here). I realized straight away what I'd done as the come up began to hit me, "this isn't right, this is nothing like the other times"; I experienced blurred vision, racing heart, rising temperature, sweating, and an overwhelming feeling of panic to name the most unpleasant side effects. I phoned an ambulance immediately and they arrived within about 5 minutes. As I sat in the back seat all of the aforementioned symptoms became progressively worse until my heart rate was at about 180. I genuinely thought that I was going to die, and in the chaotic frenzy of thoughts and feelings racing through my mind I made peace with and accepted that very real possibility. Thankfully, this combined with the reassurances of the paramedics actually lead to me getting back control of my breathing and my heart rate going down slightly.

I experienced the most intense trip of my life in a hospital bed. I quickly realized there wasn't much they could do for me other than monitor my vitals and help me wait it out (I'm not sure if that's because there wasn't anything they could do or whether they just didn't have a clue, but watching a doctor Google "MDMA" right in front of you is not very reassuring.) I gradually regained control of my faculties after the first very intense few hours passed; after 8 I wasn't rolling anymore but was still stimulated, and gradually began to come down until they discharged me after 24 hours. When I got home I basically just lied down and focused on my breathing for several hours until morning, hopelessly trying to get to sleep.

It has now been 32 hours since I dosed, and I've eaten some decent meals including plenty of vitamins, drunk plenty of water, and taken some 5-HTP, which anecdotally does seem to have helped despite the studies on it yielding inconclusive results. I went out and bought Promethazine, a sleeping pill which I've heard is good for a comedown as it blocks the effects of any lingering stimulants, which leads me to the thing I'm most confused about: I don't feel depressed yet. I feel very exhausted, and my mood is a sort of baseline apathy - certainly nothing positive - but I don't feel the same kind of abject despair and hopelessness as I have with previous comedowns after smaller doses. What's going on? Is it being delayed because enormous dose I took is still being processed? I think I still feel very, very feintly stimulated, and my heartrate is between 100-110 (I went to the doctor's just now to have them check my vitals again).

Not gonna lie, I'm not feeling great about what's coming. How fucked am I?

Eat as many fresh greens, veggies, and fruits as you can. 3-4L of water a day. Avoid junk food, aka processed foods. Exercise as much as possible. Ideally both running and weight lifting, or substitute the running for another cardio. Get ample sleep. Meditate. Maybe journal or see a counselor if you're experiencing negative self-thoughts or difficulty coping. Get outside. Just be really, really healthy. That's the best you can do. Advising supplements or chemicals is apt to cause unintended side effects. Oh, and thus, try not to drink alcohol, smoke weed, or use strong mind altering substances as much as is possible.

Basically, just provide the most fertile environment for your brain and body to recover as you can.

Appreciate the fast response. I have been doing basically all of that barring the exercise, as I haven't slept yet, but I do intend to go back to the gym ASAP as I go regularly and am quite fit (maybe it saved my life?). I forgot to mention that I'm 84kg and 23 years old. Sleep is really my prime concern right now, and on that note I haven't taken any promethazine yet - I was hoping someone here might have some input on it?

I've just had some rice and salmon with leafy greens and drunk a strong chamomile tea, and I'm going to try and get some sleep now. I'll make an update when I wake up.

Hey man you're doing 100% the right things. 5-HTP works for as well whether it be placebo or not. Just continue what you're doing and you'll be good . Gym after some sleep would be perfect and will get your mind back on track as well. I won't even even add anything about dosing that high as you know it was a mistake .

 

[swilow]

I would say the high dose has delayed the come down. That doesn't mean it will necessarily be worse though but if you've had a tough time coming down before, you might experience something similar but for a bit longer than before.

You handled the situation admirably, in the exact manner we would suggest on bluelight

How'd you make this mistake? That's a huge difference!

EDIT: my post came out wrong so I'll re-type it

I don't really know how I managed such an oversight; I've never weighed out MDMA before but I have weighed out plenty of phenibut and I know what different amounts of substances look like. I can only put it down to not thinking straight, or not even thinking at all, in my haste.

I got a solid 8 hours sleep. Physically I feel slightly better, but mentally, I feel completely drained, empty, and lethargic, and my head feels heavy. I could easily have laid in bed all day and started at the ceiling like a zombie. I got up though to take my 5-htp and L-theanine and plan on going to the gym after a decent meal for some cardio and possibly lifting. I feel ok in knowing that what I'm feeling now is all completely normal and to be expected - my big worry is that such a massive dosage may have affected my brain in a more lasting way, but I suppose only time will tell.

Have you ever heard of anyone taking this much, or close, and if so, how did it go for them?

The mental after-effects should go away in a few days if you just keep doing what you're going. Many years ago I took what amounted to an overdose of MDMA, the first time I tried it. It was scary and horrible, but I suffered no lasting effects from it. I still shiver when I remember what it felt like.

Woggins,
I am a pretty heavy doser when it comes to MDMA but I haven't ever dosed that much at once but few last times I have took nearly one gram at one evening in multiple doses and that amount has given lethargy and apathy for few days although it hasn't been taken at once.

You are indeed doing the right things and should feel better within few days. If that doesn't happen you could check out what the doctors might have to say unless they have to google about it.

Please let us know how it goes.

The way I'm feeling right now is actually more or less the same as how I felt coming down from my smaller-but-still-large-for-a-newbie dose all those years ago. It's comforting in a way to know that I can't feel any worse, especially since I know I'm capable of tolerating this feeling for a while - as long as there's hope of recovery. While I know it's not helpful to speculate right now on what lies beyond the timeframe of the next two weeks I can't help but worry.

I'm heading to the gym soon, hopefully this will do me some good.

I did 20 minutes on the bike at a low/moderate intensity followed medium intensity weight training. I feel better for having done it, though the whole thing was extremely tiring and I felt a bit light-headed at times. I'm extremely hungry now, which I'm pleased with because it's the first time I've felt genuinely hungry since Thursday (the day I ingested slightly too much of something). Overall I still feel all of the negative symptoms I mentioned earlier but my mindset is as positive as it can be given the circumstances.

Remember the healthy food part, Woggins. Fresh veggies and fruits. Organic if possible. You really want that vital energy.
