I was introduced to Ecstasy in Febuary 27th 2010, and fell in love with it ever since. I would pop 2 pills on friday, pop 2 on saturday. I would repeat this process every weekend for 3 months.

Then I slowed it down to once a week on 2. Then I went through that "experimental" phase where I would think to myself " I want to pop 5 pills and see what it does to me!" So I would take anywhere from 3, to 5 pills being the highest, once a week.

I slowed it back down to normal which was once a week, on 1, sometimes 2. I finally took a break from this cycle completely, after a bad experience that lead to me going to the hospital cause the pills were pipes(This was extremely embarrassing for my reputation cause I was known for going through several different drug experiences and making it out in one piece.)

Anyways, About 2 months have passed that I have been sober. I suffer from anxiety attacks, short term memory loss, as well as insomnia. I know these issues are present because of the ecstasy, because I had been taking it weekly at often increasing doses for nearly 9 months.

Is there any way to relieve my symptoms? I do not plan on staying clean for an extended amount of time, but I would definitely like to be clean for as long as desired.
 
Eating well, taking antioxidants, and getting good sleep will help. try valerian root for a natural sleep aid (as opposed to alcohol or a prescription sleep aid that will just knock you out without letting your body experience natural sleep)
 
*hug* I'm sorry you are suffering so much- I used to roll every weekend for about 6 months, not knowing that was farrrrr too often. It finally caught up with me. and unfortunately now my MDMA experiences are quite lackluster compared to that first 6 months, but certainly still fun, and better than they were in my dark stage after my binge.

Hopefully bluelight will answer a lot of questions you have- the directory has a lot of great info in it. I think time just has to run it's course for you, and rincewindrocks is right, lots of sleep and natural sleep aids are the way to go.
 
A good friend of mine got in a motorcycle accident and they had him really doped up. He became very addicted to these drugs and truly depended on them because of the pain he was experiencing. He started experimenting with Marijuana and it was the only thing that helped him get off the other drugs.

So maybe try smoking some weed to help you. Tell yourself you can do it and have faith in your abilities.
 
Time, sleep, exercise and eating healthy are the only things that can really you. Added to this, you aren't going through withdrawals, you're experiencing poor side-effects from abusing a drug. Big difference.

I suggest you don't ever do MDMA again.

Like someone else suggested, to help with your sleeping problems, take Valerian Root. Melatonin and Marijuana also help, but the MJ may increase your anxiety and insomnia (I can't sleep when high on weed).
 
I do the melatonin and valerian root for anxiety.

Abstinence is your only option really. I heard St. Johns Wort can help with some of the damage, but theres no real proof on this.
 
And mental 'withdrawls' are any better? I'd argue they're worse. You can replace the substance your body wants, it's alot harder to break the bond with your mind.
 
^ that's not withdrawing though, that's just psychologically craving the drug - if you're addicted, you're going to crave the drug if you are high and if you aren't. So it's not a lack of your body having it which triggers it, but rather just your psychological romance with the drug. In his case, he's not even withdrawing, just suffering an unbalance in his brain chemistry, and some reversible brain damage.
 
uhh
i havent had any amphetamine in a week
ive been fiending for the shit
dont try to act like MDMA cravings can be that fucking bad, not that amp ones are that bad to begin with, MDMA has never given me any type of fucking craving.
 
purely psychological, i mean i've wanted to roll pretty damn bad, but you just gotta tell yourself its all in your head, some ppl arent as strong as others tho, some people have no self control

Thank you. I had a close friend who use to tweak a lot. He always tells me, "MDMA isn't shit, do you see anybody sucking dick for E, I don't think so"

I'm not trying to be mean but its true. MDMA is an amazing drug but its no where near the level of Meth, Crack, or Opiates.

Look I went through my honey phase too, you just have to learn self control. You have to be strong and prove to yourself that you have a hold of your life.

I think you'd be alone in saying you dont want that 'MDMA feeling' 24/7. As I said, I'm not clucking for a bomb but I wana trip balls again, right now, with my mates. The experience is mentally addictive.

I'm not trying to compare the cravings for MDMA to harder drugs, but somebody who doesn't do smack or coke isnt going to know the difference. Every person has their drug that they want, all the time.
 
when i first started taking ecstacy, i would take it most weekends for a while. i was only 17, and i found myself getting quite emotional and down if i knew a weekend was coming up and i couldnt afford to do it or my mates were doing it and i was with them and trying not to. u learn how to deal with it eventually though. id actually even get quite jealous if people were on it and i wasnt
 
Addiction and withdrawls are real for the person going through them - we can all crave different things.

To the OP most of the things have been said above, rest, antioxidants, htp etc - also try and keep yourself busy/active as dwelling on the situation and getting stressed out only makes the matters worse.
