Lasting negative effects from high dose MDMA

2 weeks ago I took ~800mg of MDMA over a 5 hour period (waaaaaay too much I know), at a rave. The effects became fairly unpleasant; strange hallucinations, feeling confused and lost, almost throwing up (whilst already rolling), eye wiggling etc. I felt generally brain dead and wasn't able to sleep at all the next day. Then the next weekend I dropped again (~125mg). Since, I've noticed some sexual dysfunction, increased feelings of anxiety and general negative thoughts. I'm fairly worried that I've done some damage to my brain, and I regret it hugely. Has anyone had experience taking similarly high doses? I've done some research into long-term comedowns, and it seems I've come off comparatively well, but I'd really like to know what I can do to recover and how long a recovery could take. Maybe I'm just being paranoid - I very much doubt the MD was very pure so my actual doses may be lower, but I still worry some damage may've been done. Is 800mg enough to cause any substantial damage? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

You'll get better. My first dose was 250-300mg. I was fried for the month after, I was just generally apathetic and I got occasional brain zaps for the first 2 weeks. That night I couldn't sleep at all.

Its certainly got potential particularly with the re dose the following day. However, I suspect any damage will go unnoticed once you have properly recovered and if you take a long break now and don't abuse like this again then you will feel right again hopefully soon.

In my younger days I would go to raves and festivals taking over 10 pills over 2-3 days so I can definitely relate to what you are saying. After those long sessions it usually took about 2 weeks to feel totally recovered.
 
Yeah, it was very stupid - I'd already taken half a gram and when you're fucked and someone offers you more it's very easy to say yes. Never again. My plan's to take a shit load of multivitamins and exercise every day until I feel better. I can imagine I won't drop again until at least Bestival (possibly longer) and never go higher than 250mg in a night again. There's not even any reason for me to higher again, it's a cliché but I've found less definitely is more with MD.
 
It'll go away, but it may take a week.
Strong doses of MDMA really do have lasting effects, mine usually aren't that severe, but I'm brain dead for a few days after maybe 500mg in a night
 
Does anyone know if it would be wise to take shrooms in a few weeks time (assuming my situation improves). I know they have an effect on serotonin (not entirely sure on the mode of action), but am I right in thinking they would cause less harm than MDMA? I'm thinking it's best for me to avoid all stimulants for a while until I've fully recovered, but could other drugs potentially be ok?
 
Mine left me with tinnitus. I'm still hoping it goes away. It's been a good 9 weeks since the stupid dose but I rolled about 5 weeks ago at a more regular dose so that probably didn't help it.

You seem similar to me, you fucked up but have learned your lesson quickly.

If I were you I'd avoid the shrooms for a while longer but someone correct me if wrong but I believe they work with dif receptors. So it would probably be fine?

I had LSD in between some underwhelming rolls and it was the most magical experience of my life.
 
Yeah man, it was so dumb taking that much - so unnecessary. Mine was 2 weeks ago and I was planning on taking shrooms in 3 weeks time, hopefully it'll be fine but I can always assess the situation nearer the time. I've not noticed much improvement since my high dose but to be fair in the week after; I dropped again, snorted a fair amount of ket, smoked weed daily and drunk quite a lot (before I realised there was a problem). Obviously that will have set me back a bit but I'm hoping that now I know what the problem is I can (hopefully) make something of a recovery in the next few weeks.
