Hello

Last September I took some LSD gummies, then dissolved mdma crystal at the back of my throat in microdoses over about eight hours. Puffing away at a joint every know and again to top things off.

That night I tripped pretty hard - and ended up with a swollen uvula at the back of my throat.

I called the paramedics, who told me just to go home and take some ibuprofen. I did this, and the swelling went down in around three to four days.

Since that time I have had an irritated raw feeling at the nasopharynx at thr back of my throat, over September to November it remained and I would wake up with bad breath. The doctor just told me to suck a lozenge. Thinking nothing of it I continued on with my poor habits - smoking, coffee drinking, eating lots of spice or nutrionally starved meals. Over the course of November I basically lived off of homemade weed brownies and cereal and bacon sandwiches, overdosing on weed for the first time when I ate the weed butter I had made. Took like 24 hrs to come down.

Flash forward to December and I keeled over with exhaustion, after a few days in bed I got a warmth across my chest, then a doctor gave me some throat spray and alginate.

Over Xmas and Boxing Day I had a burning in my abdomen and lower throat, I woke up on the 27th with my epigastric region feeling weird - pressure inside, pangs in my abdomen, and a continual sour taste in my saliva all the time. Weirded out I saw a doctor again, who gave me PPI’s. I took them for three months, then weaned off them as I began to speculate I had some sort of GERD or LPR related issue.

Since the new year new symptoms emerged - cobblestone throat, lie bumps, white coating on the tongue, tooth erosion, dizziness when I stand, I had nausea over December to February / March but that is less now. I also bring up splurts of acidic saliva and stuff.

While I am taking the steps to help with reflux in terms of diet and lifestyle, I have no actual diagnosis and am operating off my own homework. I speculate the drug use directly fucked something up, or maybe break the straw in the camels back from a prior lifestyle of inadequate self-care (less than ideal diet, weed daily for six months over ‘24 and six over ‘23 during summer breaks).

I’m really reaching out to see if anyone has any advice or insight on the possible substance use and what’s going on with me - maybe the mdma eroded my throat or throat sphincters? Or maybe weed smoke weakened my throat? Or maybe drugs and diet janked up my microbiome?

I don’t know.

I study all the videos and papers related to GERD and LPR (Silent reflux) and aim to get cash together for a functional doctor and test, I just can’t help but wonder that that night I took that stuff and then all the issues with my throat started and grew from there.

Thank you 🙏
 
Hi, while I wouldn't advise melting molly in your throat, I've done it and didn't have much worse effects than dissolving methamphetamine in my mouth, which isn't terrible. The long term effects that you mentioned are likely unrelated to the LSD or MDMA use in my opinion, but a medical professional would be the best move in my personal opinion.
