Hello all. I found this forum from researching 'hard comedowns' after MDMA use. This seems like a most valuable resource to those who have questions or are struggling like me. First off let me preface this by telling you a little background information:
I'm 27 year old male, and weigh roughly 159 pounds
I used to smoke pot pretty regularly when I was 18-23 years old, but have pretty much laid off of it entirely for the last 5 or so years, smoking very occasionally.
I've taken MDMA twice before this past experience. First time was about 4 years ago and only about 50-70mg. Second time was about four months ago and around 80mg-90mg.
I understand they were very small amounts, and the following days I had no severe effects of using. In fact, I felt great the next day.
I took MDMA this past Friday (6 days ago) and have been having a pretty rough time getting over the after effects/comedown period of this past roll. The MDMA was powder/small crystalline consistency and was INCREDIBLY pure (tested beforehand). I was given a half gram, and split it with my friend giving us about 250mg each.
We had a few beers beforehand at my buddies apartment, and I had about 4. I started dipping at a DJ set, and hadn't started feeing the effects, so I started dipping a little more often. After a little while, it hit me HARD. I started pouring sweat, and felt overheated. I stepped outside in the cool air, and my friends made sure I was okay and stayed with me. It only lasted about 5 minutes before I was feeling good again. I was rolling very hard and was having a great time dancing. We all stayed hydrated and drank plenty of water.
I would say a few hours my roll ended very abruptly, and almost felt like I'd hit a wall (I suppose because I rolled so hard), and had a slight headache, possibly from music, beers?
My friends kept dipping and rolling but I didn't decide to take anymore, my baggie wast even empty, and gave it to another friend who wanted more. So I would say in total I consumed about 150-200mg of MDMA.
The next day felt pretty normal after a night of partying and taking MDMA, but my issue is with the next four/five days that have followed...
I feel very out of it. Almost like my mind is in a haze, and I cant get out of it. I only feel like my brain is working at about 50%. I have a hard time trying to find the words I want to use when speaking to someone else or writing a paper, and jumble my words when Im typing. Its almost feels like I've stupefied myself. When my colleagues speak about the current research they're doing, something that is mentally stimulating, I get overwhelmed easy and tend to just "tune out" and "shut down" so to speak.
Reading papers off a computer/cell phone is overwhelming, and very straining to my eyes/mind. I have little motivation to complete my academic projects or encourage myself to get things done (inside and out of school). I often get feelings of light headedness, and a kind of "dazed" mentality.
I just feel like Im in this funk and want it to end. Im ready to be back to the way I was...
I am in academics and currently getting my masters in science, and my mental awareness is a necessity and something I cherish. I'm worried things will never go back to the way they were and I will feel like this forever. Nobody else I rolled with (about 9 of us) has seemed to have such a harsh comedown, including a first time user that consumed about 250mg. A few were a little out of it for a few days, but not like me. After reading other posts, many seem to be also suffering from anxiety but I haven't really experienced that, but I also know everybody is different.
I have been getting exercise, and have been eating well. I have not drank any alcohol since I rolled with the exception of last night when I had close to a bottle of wine before/during/after dinner, and have been taking a multi vitamin and drinking plenty of water.
I just keep worrying about this funk and keep asking myself "how do I feel now" which I know you're not supposed to do, but its incredibly hard not to. Can any of you offer any advice? Help me please, Im open to all suggestions. Thank you for this valuable resource. You all seem to be very wise and helpful in others endeavors.
I'm so sorry this post is SO LONG, but it kind of helped to write as I went...
Thank you all!
