Does anyone else here in bluelight believe their head may seem a little er... 'fried' since using e?

I seem to have lost quite a portion of my long term memory since using E and now I think it may be affecting my short term aswell?

How much do you need to take until this takes affect and is there any way to get it back?
 
Heavy MDMA use does tend to impact on your short-term memory quite a bit... With abstinence and good eating it will slowly return.... I really screwed mine up at one point, always forgot what I was saying... as good as new now :)

Supplements such as choline can also help somewhat.

In your long-term memory, what don't you remember? And how do you know its gone?
 
My memory appears to be going rapidly down hill, I barely remember last year, only flashes of memory.
 
I smoked weed for a few years before using E, I think the weed ruined my brain a LOT more than E on a long term basis.
 
i have an excellent long term memory. i can meet people i only met once and haven't seen in years and recall details about them.

short term has a few issues. i occasionally forget what i'm doing if i have multiple tasks on the go at work. i have to keep a pile of papers in front of me to remind myself so nothing slips by. however, i'm hesitant to blame that on the hundreds of pills i've had, since i've used many other substances as well.
 
The effects of weed on long-term memory are well known.... Your brain has endogenous cannabinoids whose purpose (or at least one of them) seems to be to make you forget things.
 
I have noticed over the last few months that my memory really has deteriorated. I am forgetting things that have happened in the last few days, weeks etc. I have problems carrying on a concersation sometimes with friends cos i end up stumbling somewhere in the middle of a sentence, having to pause too long to think of something to say or to think of a word. Also, because i use my computer a lot and tlk to friends online a lot, i would often not be able to think of something to say, cos its either all been said online or i just forget what has been said online... though i think thats a slightly different matter. Though i think a lot of this is down to cannabis more than E, but a combination of both im sure :\
 
Man, my memory has actually gotten better. I use to forget things left and right...especially people's names when I would meet new people. When I'm rolling I will tend to forget temporarily some things but amazingly I can remember the names of every single new person I met. Also, the things I forget while rolling (things I was looking for, stories I was going to tell, etc) I will immediately remember while I'm coming down. I'll say, oh yeah...I was looking for my chapstick and then go right to it.
 
My brain feels like its been cooked at 350 degrees in an oven, short/long term memory all wiped out, even my speech has a long slur to it
 
I'm the same with having a great long term memory... I can ramble on about stuff I recall from when I was 3 or 4... like I remember the playground at my old kindy, I remember the plays we put on for our parents, the rabbits, I remember certain things that happened at our old house, Christmases of 10 years ago, etc etc etc... Some things are really vivid, others are just images I have stored in my mind...

Short term memory is a different story, but then I probably have never had a real good short term memory, even before I took drugs...

I remember last year I shocked myself at how bad my memory was (must've had a big weekend!)... I went to the toilet at work, walked out... took about 10 more steps back to my office and then stopped dead in my tracks... "Hang on... did I flush???" and I had to go back to double check... hehe

Today I also found myself asking somebody at work a VERY stupid question... it confused her so much that I was asking... hehe... at least this year I've probably taken as many pills in these last 6 months than what I would have taken in ONE month last year... so I'm feeling much better about things :)
 
yea my long term memory is a little shot. Short term is completely done with. I can't remember shit from like 1 minute ago. But this doesnt always happen though. My speech was horribly slurred at one point.

I've given up weed and e and i'm slowly getting better. I hope :\
 
yeah my head feels..almost empty now =/. its more short term memory problems right now. and sometimes i space out. but its been like almost 3 weeks after poppingg!! =/
