I am definitely in the same boat as the OP. I have abused ecstasy pretty heavily for the past two years and after a binge a few weeks ago have had such severe problems with brain zaps, foginess, etc, etc that I've decided to stop using for at least a year, if not permanently.
Just as you described I have intense visual snow, disorienting brain zaps primarily triggered by vision shifts, lights unusually bright, bad short term memory, and so on. The fact that I took nearly 20 hits of acid while in a state of poor decision making three weeks ago isn't helping the situation either. Quitting cigs is one of the first changes I made when I decided to stop using drugs a few weeks ago and it DEFINITELY helps. Cutting down on the weed intake helps too, if you're a heavy toker like I am.
What I'd recommend more than anything is that you can take this situation as a wake-up call as I have and make some positive changes in your life. You only get one body, and I guess sometimes you cant really appreciate it until you realize you're messing it up. Stop now while you can. I've only felt better and better since I decided to as my body bounces back from that last binge, and I'm sure you will too.
