Help on recent MDMA use and my health

[3rdeye]

Hi guys, thought I'd come here for some help

So I recently attended a music festival and consumed MDMA. It was tested positive, plus felt like what I know to be MDMA. Anyway, day one I took two capsules total. 1 to start and 1 to re-dose an hour or so later. I also used small amounts of cocaine. I thought it best to not use the MDMA again to be safe but ended up using it the second night. This time a similar amount. Day after all this I felt fine, but by the afternoon of the second day things got weird. It's now 5 days later and I have slept a shit ton more than usual. I have been eating healthy and taking 5-htp however cannot shake this feeling.

- I am very tired and able to sleep whenever for however long (this is not normal at all)
- I feel very spaced out in my head with weird brain zaps, fogginess, and a nausea come vertigo come sick feeling
- It feels as though my head is quite pressurized
- Arms and legs very lathargic
- Vision is somewhat blurry/tunnel like especially in high contrast scenes with bright and dark

As you can imagine, all of this freaks me the fuck out and I am far from myself. If anyone has any insight into my condition I'd really love to hear it.

Thanks guys

^your body is still recovering and since you are eating healthy etc you have nothing to worry about and this should pass just give it time. If you have not added exercise to your list you should! Exercise boosts serotonin which you might have depleted on the nights you have used. Goodluck!

That sounds about right. I'm coming up on one year of suffering.

I experienced extreme lethargy (like my limbs were lead) for the first 6 months. Maybe? My memory is quite shit these days.

Vision problems (visual snow) for the majority of the past year.

And brain fog. For lack of a better term, sometimes I just feel dumb.

I don't want to scare you. But this might last a while. Maybe a month. Maybe 2 years. It's really impossible to say.

We feel for you immensely. And we care. Don't forget that.

I experienced all this too. 23 June 2012 I went to a rave party and took MDMA.
The guy who was selling it said it was 95% pure, but me and my friend didn't really believed him and took the usual amount.
The feeling was weird, no euphoria or sense of love, it was intense and somehow unpleasant. I ended up laying on the ground hallucinating bad, like in a trip.
We took more because we were completely out of our minds.

This lasted for a day and a half, then the nightmare began.
I was continually feeling detached from reality around me, I couldn't feel any emotion, I felt horrible in general.
I also felt tired and had these strange "brain things". I didn't experience any taste anymore and I couldn't even write.
I wanted to cry so bad but I wasn't able to.

So I forced myself to look for emotions again and to restore my mind.
I watched emotional movies, I had daily walks in nature, I watched and read funny things, I listened to powerful music...
I trained my brain with memory improving tests and so on.

After a few months I could write again and be focused on things.
At the end of november I got my BD, with a thesis which was maybe 1/20 of what I could have done normally...but I made it.
I also discussed it in English, which is not my mothertongue.
Then I relaxed a lot, kept practicing and doing "emotional" things...it worked, after another couple of months I was almost back to normal.

It took around 8 months for me to be the girl I used to be. Then I began having severe anxiety and derealisation (is it correct?)
This is when I fell into opiates, but if I had sought for professional help immediately this would not have happened, I guess.

I told you my story because it seems you are in a better situation than I was, so, if things have turned right for me, they will for you even more.
You need to be patient, you'll probably be better in a shorter time. The important thing is that you're going to come back to normal, maybe with a little aid by yourself: keep on eating healthy, don't stress yourself, sleep as much as you can. Good luck to you!
