Awful effects after MDMA overdose...

[myevilrose]

Hello, I registered here because it seems to be the only place I could find that could give me advice.

In advance I know that I should have done my research before taking this drug and I plan on never touching it again..I just want to feel normal again.

I've taken MDMA twice (was crystal, white, didn't test it) with some friends of mine (I use the world friends lightly), they obviously take WAY WAY too much because they lead me to believe that taking a gram or two a night was regular for users. I know now this is completely incorrect.

The first time I took it I used 2g over three days 0.25g at a time, it caused me to be unable to pass urine for a few hours after, but I didn't think more of it. A couple days after I got what I thought was flu (was dizzy after eating food and was practically bedridden) for two weeks, I even went to hospital and told them about the mdma and they said it was probably a virus unrelated to the drug use. This was in February.

The second time and last was last Friday. I took 1.25g in a night, couldn't remember much about the night but the next day I couldn't pass urine at all. After 24 hours I went to the hospital, they pumped me with fluids, kept me overnight and after 30 hours I was able to pass urine again. (I had the urge the whole time but just couldn't go). While I was there they took bloods and checked my kidneys with an ultrasound as they were concerned i may have damaged them. That was all fine and they discharged me Sunday morning. Now it's Tuesday and for the last two days I have felt AWFUL, I lm dizzy constantly, got back pain, blurred vision, dull pain in the kidney area, fever, temperature, the whole lot. I tried to go to the doctors today but they had no appointments. My question is could the MDMA have caused kidney damage since I've been discharged from hospital? (That was a day after dosing), I'm not sure what the half life on the drug is but my kidneys were fine 20 hours after the last dose (I took them in 0.25-0.5g wraps). I don't mind if this is just an awful comedown, I'm just really concerned I have done some real damage.

Thanks in advance, I'm happy to answer any questions, I know the dosage was way too high and that's my fault for not reading up on the drug.

Since you didnt test your stuff, any answer is wild speculation. I do know that 1.25 is a HUGE dose. It is not uncommon to suffer mental health issues after abusing MDMA but only a doctor can tell you about any physical damag you may or may not have done to your kidneys.

in the mean time. I would stay away from any intoxicants. Go to the doctor.

Are you asking so you know its not perminant so you can do it again?
Just wait and see
Not being able to pee is normal even with normal mdma yse

another case of bath salts?

too many cases around US, every day we are reading post from people just like you, claiming they have ingested grams of mdma, when everybody here knows that amount COULD KILL.

Smart Drugs and Smart ass dealers will go to hell!

Stay away from drugs mate!

To kill is probably unlikely. You'd probably need 5-6g of MDMA to cause a lethal intoxicating dose. Still, for an inexperienced user i'd imagine anything over 250mg to become far too intense and perhaps unpleasant. While completely different drugs, I'd equate a 'gram' of MDMA (probably closer to .7) to consuming a 75cl bottle of vodka with no alcohol tolerance. Of course, your hardened drinkers can manage it, but somebody with no experience would probably end up in A&E being sick and generally not enjoying the experience. The worst bit is that your 'friends' allowed you to do something which, surely, they realised was not safe. Considering you did not report an extremely powerful and intense experience, i'd hazard a guess that you took a non MDxx substance, however, this is speculation. As you now know, get a test kit and don't listen to your 'friends'.

Regarding the liver, you've probably not done any damage. Stimulants, including MDMA, are renowned for releasing anti-diuretic hormones (ADH) which regulate your pissing habits. Instead of liver damage, it is more common that you've just consumed a large amount of a stimulant and still have an excessive amount of ADH in your blood. It is not uncommon for heavy users to be unable to pee for 24 hours post MDMA-consumption. Consuming standard doses (100-120mg) renders me unable to pee, properly, until i've fully comedown. Stimulants really are not renowned for liver damage at all, they cause minimal stress to the system so stop worrying!

Regarding the psychological symptoms, sounds like you're experiencing a stimulant comedown (dizziness, blurred vision) in combination with your common cold and fever. Stimulants and MDMA can reduce your immune system and so you're more prone to catch viruses. Combine this with a large rave or festival where you're around lots of people, catching viruses is really quite common and referred to as 'ravers flu'.

My advice is to get lots of rest, stay hydrated, eat healthy blah blah blah - the usual stuff. Like most things - time heals.

Hope you feel better soon and give your friends as massive bollocking, I know I would.

Trouble passing urine is a normal side effect for drugs like this, especially mdma(if that is what you actually had). It's not a sign of damage, though with doses like that, you certainly did some.

2grams of mdma at once, while not typically a lethal dose, can still kill you if it is completely pure.

You are reporting largely physical symptoms, but how do you feel psychologically?

Eat a good diet and get some exercise. If you are feeling anxious or depressed, you could try taking some 5-htp for a few days. It might help .

Thanks for the responses, I don't want to know if its causes damage so I can do it again...I'm hoping it hasn't because I want a future, I don't plan on touching the stuff again. If the pain continues I'm going to go to the doctors what I'm really concerned about is kidney damage as that's what I've read about online, but as I say I really don't know too much about it.

They told you at the hospital that you did not have liver damage, so on the way back from the hospital to your house you think you somehow have acquired liver damage??

You have just taken a shit load of MDMA, this is the comedown. Its going to be worse than any comedown youve experienced because youve never taken this much before, your "dizzyness" etc is all down to the MDMA. Give it a week or 2 of good eat, rest and sleep and you will be feeling fine, just like your doctors probably told you.

No offence to you, or a large majority of people who post on here with there "horror" comedown stories and "will I ever be better", imagine if we had an Alcohol sub-section with people posting there hangover symptons every day, heads spinning, headache so bad they can hardly see, violently vomiting everywhere, people thinking that it was the end of the world every day. Your going to have a bad time, maybe a lesson for next time.

If you have been checked out by qualified doctors and nurses, im not sure that the people of bluelight are going to give you any better medical advise.

I don't think I have liver damage, I was concerned about my kidneys, I'm concerned about them because they hurt when I move. A doctor did check them but it was only 20 hours after the last dose and I wasn't sure at what point the damage would occur because the pain started a day or so later.

 

[myevilrose]

I only ask because the doctor who treated me knew nothing about MDMA, she went off and googled the effects...

Lol cmon, no need to be so harsh. We all know the anxiety, paranoia etc from MDMA abuse/OD etc can be so real I would not be surprised at somebody blatantly refusing to accept a diagnosis from a doc challenging him to his face based on what your fear tells you in opposition.

I went years convinced i was going to be murdered each and every night due to the damage it did combined with a mild PTSD event (yes absolutely due to my own fault and ignorant misuse of the drug, but that's besides the point regarding the consequences).

I agree with regards to the false or inflated perpetuation of horror stories and propaganda which i hate but based on my real experience MDMA is deserving of concern and capable of scary things even though i still love the drug and the positive effects.

The problem is that most other popular drugs have appropriate bad reps creating caution in their use but MDMA seems to be free of this in the view of the young new drug user resulting in the young and innocent taking part irresponsibly unknowing of the consequences. Its rep is so pure which is the reason my ignorant ass got owned by it as well and i dont blame anybody else for getting shafted either/

Anyways, im not blaming the drug, like other drugs it can be used safely with proper education, but i blame whatever reason is behind its false harmless reputation. I dont get why the consequences are not as clear to new users as with other drugs. Hell I heard how evil crystal meth was when i was 7 and its nowhere near as dangerous to the mind as MDMA imo.

Anyways, OP, i dont want to scare you with the above, but I might suggest some Serotonin based tests (no idea if these even exist) simply as a way of being super over safe and nipping any potential longer term issues in the bud before they get worse. Just playing it safe is how i like to go about it.

I took about a g each friday and sat for about 6 months to royally screw me. Only A few high doses shouldn't be an issue in theory. Its a great substance when used safely.

Otherwise dont stress and all the best.

Always test your drug ;P Too much crap out there that can fuck you up.
1.25 grams of real mdma is a monster dose, you probably didnt get the purest stuff imho.

 

[blight12]

Yeah test these days. 9 years back though pills where really strong and reliable. The one time i got something different in my pills it turned out to be MDA and was one of the best experiences of my life. God i miss MDA visuals. Utter perfection.
