derealization/depersonalization following mdma use

I think alot of MDMA users have experienced similar things to some degree. One weekend me and a group of friends took partying too far. Among four of us we consumed upwards of 30 pills each over three days (with some speed thrown in for good measure) with no sleep. Needless to say we were in a world of shit afterwards, it was bad enough to induce a week of "brain zaps" a mysterious phenomena that isn't even accepted by the medical community as real. Of course along with that we all experienced the same dreamlike autonomous existence you are describing, for three weeks for one friend, and severe loneliness and emptiness connected to everything we did. Spending this period with each other was what saved us from insanity to know that we weren't alone. But while you are in that state you get this feeling of despair, that it may not pass and that you may be changed forever. This is plainly not true and is just your mind defeating itself while in a vulnerable state. You will recover to normality with time and I have never seen such things permanently change someone.

One thing will change forever if you do this sort of stuff to often though, your tolerance will shoot through the roof and you will lose the magic. Now me and another of these friends don't bother with MDMA save for every now and then just to see if it will start working again.

Also, although this one time was rather severe, I have had days where just a pill or two has given me the same detachment, apathy and slowness for a week or more, so even your dose can cause this and should pass.

thank god for that. I think im starting to feel better and come around a little bit. Its been a week since the roll. I think its best not to think about it. How long did it take you to come around?
 
One more thing. Does anyone else have weird and vivid dreams the few days after you roll hard? I can recall most of the dreams i have the night before and they're very peculiar.

Also to note is that most drugs will have effects on your sleep. This can vary alot from person to person a great deal, I wouldn't say it is cause for alarm at all. Personally, MDMA and speed can send me into hypnagogic states with full blown auditory and visual hallucinations when trying to sleep. It also often is paired with sleep paralysis. So to each his oww, but if you dabble in drugs expect your sleep to get strange.
 
Yup! This is exactly what happened to me, did too much and rather than actually damaging myself, I worried about the possibility that I had permanently "broken" my brain. This means that my recovery too a lot lot longer than i now know it should. Wish i had seen this post before, i could have been back to normal in two weeks rather than 2 months. Thanks :)
