I took MDMA for the first time on NYE (fri) and I'm pretty sure I took far too much. I was already on a few beers and a friend at a party offered some MDMA powder to me. I havent any idea of the weight but I know that I snorted one line and bombed about the equivilent of 2-3 lines. A friend later told me that what I took was about the same as 4 average/cut pills.

The experience was ethereal for the most part. Although I also drank about 4 beers and smoked a fair amount of weed. I suffer from mild anxiety and have abstained from weed for a long time but I didn't know any better in that state. After the weed I freaked out really intensely for about half an hour.

- Saturday I felt floaty and completely fucked up. I atributed this to the alcohol and general comedowness of ecstasy. I cried in the evening about life in general and had weird urges to tell my family I loved them.

- Sunday I felt stoned. Clumsy, bad memory, anxious. I kept doing things like forgetting I'd already put the kettle on... and mixing up a few words.

- Monday I went to meet friends in town but had an anxiety attack. They were feeling back to normal by then. I had a groggy dull feeling all day. Not feeling myself. A bit of insomnia. Extreme anxiety.

- Tuesday I saw my GP. She tried to reassure me that it should get better soon. She gave me valium to help me sleep/calm panic attacks. Still feeling a bit slow and groggy. In general just feeling a bit slow.

Now it's 2am on Wednesday and I'm a bit spacey but not too anxious. I'm extremely worried that I might have caused myself permanent damage or something. I'm really looking for some kind of rough estimates as to how long it will take to return to "normal". It feels like one long bad dream. Does 5htp really work? I have anxiety to the point where I can't really leave the house although I still live at home so this isn't too worrying yet. This is literally the most traumatic experience of my life... but ofcourse I accept full responsibility for it.

I would really apreciate any help. Thanks.
 
Wednesday - Woken up after 16 hour sleep. Upper back ache, sore throat, still groggy but feeling a bit more clear headed. I really hope I can look back at this and laugh!
 
You will be able to look back and laugh about it. The most important thing is, eventhough it may sound easier than it is, don't work yourself up into it. Don't listen all the time into yourself 'whats up with me now?', try to proceed as usual. Aftereffects will go away, especially when you just took it once.

Try to see it as a lesson if you want to experience MDMA again. Know your stuff, know your dose, try lower doses. For most people moderate doses in a moderate usage pattern result in little to no bad aftereffects.
 
You'll be fine - the weed and the MDMA have just kicked your anxiety up a few notches.
 
does lack of seratonin and/or anxiety mess with attention span/focus/sense of time?

I would say that a lack of seratonin does. The reason I say that is cos I'm going through this right now (see that thread about 'feeling terrible days after"). I've noticed that the past 4 days have all merged into one.

Over the past 5 days I've also taken 2, 2 hour train journeys. Usually I get pretty bored on journeys and need to listen to music etc but I'ven oticed that I haven't really registered the time go by. I got on the train, stared out the window, and then i got off the train 2 hours later.

I guess cos the brain is lacking in something, its struggling to do everything?
 
You'll be fine, but in time. I hope you realize that MDMA is not something to be taken lightly, as it can make you feel like SHIT.

In my experience the worst passed in like three days, then by the week checkpoint I was feeling even better, then after two weeks at least 50% of the shit was gone, then a month later at least 80%... Its been like a month and two weeks and I feel about 85%-90%. Yes, I'm one of those unlucky people that MDMA likes to mess with a little longer after a roll than Id care for.

That said, the days are getting better. The sun is getting brighter, each day feels more relaxed than the previous. I hope it was worth it for you haha.

5-HTP does help, but in my case it only relieves symptoms for a short while. Still, its good to have at the end of the day when you've been dealing with this crap 24/7. EXERCISE AND INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITIES AND MEDITATION are your best bets to recover as fast ass possible. Also, try getting intimate with an animal, taking hot showers, and socializing in general.

overrall, stick with the beers and weed. The euphoria of MDMA is A LOT better than those two, but beer and weed friggen knock it out of the park compared to MDMA when it comes to after-effects. For that, stick to those two. If you must (like me), dont do MDMA more than once every 2-3 months and never take more than 2 pills or 200mg (you took a huge dose my friend)
 
i had around 10 pills one weekend, ~ they were weird voodoo kinda pills, ~

had me feeling out of it and was out of work for a week,

thursday - i actually feel like I'm back in reality..... however I'm really worried about my reading... I mean, i can read ok but I keep falling over the odd word and have to go back and start again.

please, has anyone got experience of having slightly jumbled reading skills for a short while after MDMA use?
 
yeah - i definitely get that sometimes man..

Don't worry about it, your amplifying things by constantly worrying about it.


Eat healthy, drink lots of water, get a good 6-7 hours sleep each night and get some exercise.

You will be fine, so many people have been through this little worry period you are going through right now :)

Slightly jumbled is a great way of putting it :D I think most people that have had a bit of a heavy night has had this at one point or other.

Reading and short term memory seem to be the most common things that people complain about. I have noticed that if you roll during the day and then goto sleep as you would do on a normal day you dont feel as jumbled the next day/day after.
 
hey guys, basically i took about quarter of a gram of mdma in 2 bombs last Thursday whilst drinking quite a bit of alcohol i woke up a bit hungover however that was it , then i was out on Monday night however this time just drinking more alcohol waking up slightly hungover, then again on Tuesday night was out again drinking alcohol and did another quarter gram of mdma in 2 bombs again. I felt quite rough the next day, then on Friday i was very depressed for a few hours, this was gone by the night, on Saturday i was dizzy with a slight tingling on and off on the left side of my head, now today i feel a little dizzy with this tingling almost constant on the left side of my head, it doesn't hurt at all, more annoying if anything, i need so advice off someone soon, i might go to the GP tomorrow and tell him what i did, is this worth me doing so?, im so worried that ive badly damaged my brain permanently. Can anyone give me some advice. thank you. I have done extacy before but only a few times, never ad much as this this was the first time ive done mdma and it was very pure.
 
you'll be fine...just like the last guy

many many people have done much much more and they are still kickin
