I love ecstacy, and lately it has become available to me endlessly. This is the third day in a row and I had to take three times as much to feel anything. Is this dangerous? Are there possible long term or permanent consequences if I keep going down this road?
 
Quite dangerous.


Using MDMA one time uses up large amounts of serotonin, a drug that controls mood and basic functions of the body like digestion and heart rate. When you keep using the drug, it uses up more and more serotonin until eventually you get to critically low levels. After a single dose of MDMA, you are at substantially lowered levels of serotonin and this can take months to correct itself. After 3 days in a row? You're practically tapped out by now!


You shouldn't be using drugs like these more than once a month, at the most. Take a look at the 6 Simple Rules to MDMA thread, it has all the info you should need
 
MONTHS TO RECOVER? Oh that's just fucking great. That's all I needed. Well no more after today for awhile. Should I wein myself of with lower doses or just go cold turkey? I've never taken it for more than one day before this time. I should have known better
 
Cold turkey. I highly doubt that you've become physically dependent on MDMA, something that has a rather low dependence liability in the first place, after three days. You'll be fine, just don't do it for a long time -- 3-4+ months.
 
STOP NOW.

You've probably friend a bunch of serotonin receptors and they will likely never function correctly again. This isn't a serious issue yet, but you will be doing exponentially more damage to your brain as the days progress. Keep up usage like this and you will develop several psychological issues that won't heal. I know a guy that overdid MDMA and was awarded with schizophrenia and serotonin syndrome.
 
I was a roller for about 3 years with 1 year (my last year) being extremely heavy. By extremely heavy I am talking about 100% unsafe abuse of rolling every Friday and Saturday night and taking handfuls of pills just to feel anything because pills were more than 'available' for me and I had built a very high tolerance. Long story turned short, I had 2 very bad rolls where I am surprised I am alive and 2 hospital visits where they told me I overdosed on amphetamines (guess that was in the pills I took). The doctors said I had dangerous low levels of potassium which caused my heart palpitations, I had severe panic attacks and anxiety where I had to take Paxil for about 6 months to help replenish my serotonin levels which were pretty much tanked, and I had pretty extreme short term memory for several months (almost a year) after I stopped rolling. I would say about after a year to a year and a half I felt back to normal with no more panic attacks, heart palpitations, and my memory feels like it is normal again --the only thing "off" today is I can't ever take anything that will make me feel weird, or high, or in anyway where I am not in control. I can't smoke weed, roll, take pain medication like Vicodin, and I cant even get drunk without getting anxiety. My advice: don't get sucked into the fun of it all and make it your life for the weekends. The fun is what is addicting, not the drug. And the "fun" is what will blind you from realizing that as good as the drug makes you feel it will strike like a snake and cause long term and even possible permanent health problems if it doesn't kill you.
 
Wow sgray! That's quite an experience you've suffered. You've enlightened me on this subject. Thank you so much for having the courage to share your misfortune. I'm quite sure many will read about your experience and be safe because of it. I know I will. I hope you have a happy and fullfilling life from now on. I think you deserve it. Thanks again!

I hope you come away from that realizing how damaging it is to take mdma day after day.
 
I have. What's scary is I've tried xtasy a few times and loved it. I planned on doing it more and will soon come into a quantity. But now I know to only do it occasionaly
 
If it is indeed quality, test it a few times, buy a supply and put it away. Honestly you shouldn't even consider rolling till 2014.
 
Look, it's your body so ultimately it is your choice but if I were you I'd give it a rest for several months. Rolling 3 days in a row and tripling the dose isn't a good thing. You can't have a months worth of fun in a few hours, every day, and not pay a price.
 
Believe me mdma is an awesome drug, I love it just as much as you do! I'd love to do it much more often but you gotta be able to be responsible about it and have balance.

Here is another way to look at it, give yourself a good long break so you can enjoy it again. My cousin abused the hell out of it and now has permanent damage from it, he won't be able to experience that awesome feeling again.

Buy a test kit, buy that fire, and save it for special occasions.
 
Also consider getting a milligram scale, they don't cost much on amazon. The reason being is that with quality product the line between "oh lawd this is awesome" and "oh fuck I am not ok" is much easier to cross.

Also, consider getting a pair of these glasses ;) you won't regret it.
