Feeling terrible after MDMA or Alcohol

[Tevil19]

Hey guys,

I have really grown to hate MDMA and alcohol. But I realized that these are 'the more commonly' used drugs in society. A lot of my friends seem to like them. Lots of people talk about their amazing experiences on xtc.

I must admit that the first time was indeed special and amazing as well. But I regret all other times. I think feeling in love is so much better than feeling happy on MDMA .Also, I can not always control myself on M. I tell people things that I am later embarrassed about. When the dose is too high, concentration span is so limited. I feel really dumb if I cant have a normal conversation and then the fun is over for me, while other people love going real hard and get messed up. After using MDMA I feel terribly sick and poisoned. My mind is clouded for days. I get extremely emotional and cry excessively. It's just not worth the happy feeling I get for 4 hours. Do more people feel this way? It could be that I can not take a serotonin depletion as well as other people. I often hear people say they feel washed out or weird, but never so terrible as I say. After two weeks, I start to feel normal again. I totally hate the drug now. When my friends start to use it, I stand amazed and perplexed. It is really not worth it for me.

As for alcohol, I get hangovers even after a few drinks. It's so neurotoxic and dehydrating that I dont get why so many people use it. I think other drugs can be more effective if a certain state or effect is desired plus being healthier and not possessing lots of unwanted side effects from alcohol. A lot of people do not understand me and think me weird for using drugs instead of alcohol. Maybe it makes me feel insecure, different and excluded. What do you think about this?

Criticism and feedback are always welcome of course. Thank you.

I had to quit using speed, mdma or any sort of empathogens because they make me feel rough the next day. Makes me feel drained and weepy too. Plus I get bad gastrointestinal symptoms from having IBS and these drugs exacerbate this. Don't pay attention to what other people think if you can't drink alcohol. Sure it's legal and more socially "acceptable" then drugs, but it's one of the most toxic things a person can consume. It's a good thing that you're paying attention to what your body is telling you. Nobody here is going to criticize you for that.

after having used other drugs through the years and then going back to alcohol, ugghh is all i can say..doesnt matter if its beer or the hard stuff, booze gives me a very quick initial muddy euphoric mood boost for about 20 minutes, then i just get lethargic and hazy...its not a fun time at all anymore and it sucks because its so socially acceptable..

exactly the same for me. 7 months of opiate use has completely ruined alcohol for me. no buzz just a slow feeling and slurred speech

Some people can't handle long use of MDMA, what else could it be other than serotonin depletion?

I'm the same way with MDMA & will not touch the stuff, its been 15 years since o touched that garbage, & I still have friends that do it several times a year, & these same friends were going MDMA 15 years ago with me.....go figure!

I use to always get headaches the next day after drinking alcohol, & haven't touched that either in like 12 years.

Nothing is wrong with you, its just those drugs don't agree with you.

I don't smoke weed or do psychedelics anymore, been over a decade for that stuff too.......for me it was a phase I went thru with all that stuff, don't miss any of that stuff.
