How did the MRI scan come back? I feel sorry for your poor liver rather then your brain! Heavy drinking after a concussion is never a good thing but it won't harm your brain. The only reason people are told never to drink after a concussion is because it's important to be aware of any degeneration in neurological status (which would indicate a more serious complication of head injury) which would otherwise be masked by alcohol. Taking MDMA or any drugs after a concussion is never a good thing either for the very same reason but it won't harm your brain because your liver will still filter out the toxins (this won't be compromised just because you banged your head.)

CT scan was clean! Ahmm, the MRI I'll have to wait tim my appointment to find out! I pray it's clean.

I don't know, I just feel like the bruised brain with MDMAs neurotoxins really did me in. But, I had a bad trip before that last one too, I lost the magic and was in a bad place with my gf.

So maybe it could just be the psychological imprint of the bad trip/breakup?

I tend to look at things at too much of a neurological perspective, neglecting the psychological aspect and primarily basing it up physiological circumstances, upon which there's less room for "repair".

The reason I thought drinking was so bad, was because your brain releases HGH, fibroblast hormone, insulin like growth factor 1, breakneck derived neurotrophic factor and a huge list of repairing agents acutely at the time of injury. And appeartnly the most repair happens in the first 7 days, upon which I was drunk the whole time, so I feel like the alcholhol messed with the brains growth hormone release for repair.

And MDMA messing with damages cells just sounds bad and I'm sure you can picture why.

For the record I was jumped by a gang and was unconscious for 65-80 minutes.

Somedud- my friend with similar abuse patterns than you felt depressed for over a year after we stopped rolling. We did a lot and it sounds like you did too. Maybe the concussion had something to do with it but I'm willing to bet you're just feeling aide effects from MDMA abuse. It'll obviously get better.

I sure hope so, I'm noticing good improvements the last month. But it all takes time, I know it's mainly the MDMA, as the neurologist and doctors said the concussion should have NO lasting symptoms, plus the change in me literally happened right after my last roll, so it's pretty obvious.
 
Yea man that's what can happen when your serotonin receptors shut down (deregulation). My friend is fine today, as this was in late 2006, but I'd say he didn't feel completely better until late 2007. For me I don't know why I didn't experience the same depression as him, I guess I just didn't pay attention to it. I definitely felt a bit different for a while, but was still able to do all the things I do normally fine like working out, going to school, etc. It all gets better with time. I have abused a lot also since then but just not at the same pace and I hardly ever feel badly the next day... I guess what I'm saying is you need to know your limits and I'm sure you know now how much to take/not to take.
 
I hope you have gone to the doctor, FBC... What started this is probably a combination of the two things (both the MDMA and the enema) because of the brain-gut connection with the serotonin receptors and all, but the prolonged effects are most likely primarily being caused by the enema, if I had to take a gander.

I have had bowel and stomach upset only once when having taken MDMA before, and it only occurred while rolling and I felt no effects of it after. I recently posted a trip report including that experience, actually. Basically, I had been feeling a little sick to my stomach before taking the MDMA (probably because I was candy-flipping and LSD always makes my stomach a little queasy for the first few hours) and when the serotonin started to flood my system instead of feeling good I got really anxious. This is probably connected to that brain-gut thing, because once I purged my system completely, I felt completely better - physically and mentally.

So, it may not be hard scientific evidence as I'm just theorizing here, but if something is out of whack with your gut (because of the enema) it's messing with the serotonin receptors down there in a negative way, which makes you feel negative mentally, too - thus the anxiety. Perhaps the anxiety is heightened because A) the MDMA may have made you more sensitive to these feelings, or B) your serotonin levels are still a bit depleted from the MDMA use. Personally, however, I think you shouldn't be too worried about neurotoxicity or any permanent brain damage. Either way, you should talk to a doctor about both the physical upset AND your mental state as of late, as we can only speculate but a professional is the only one who can run the right tests to find out the exact cause...
