#1: are the digestive problems related mostly to anxiety... or lack of serotonin? (I know there is serotonin in the digestive track)

#2: have you experienced the same problems?

#3: did it get better?


It's just annoying cause I want to eat a lot, but when I poop it sucks
 
I was experiencing loose stools & was having trouble eating right for 2-3 weeks into my comedown, but it definitely cleared up within a month. Haven't experienced digestive problems since.

Pretty much exactly the same story for me. Time frame was almost identical to this.

I would be fairly sure its serotonin related.

My anxiety has not cleared up at all but this did.
 
Serotonin actually regulates your digestive track, im almost positive that is the source of your tummy issues. I would say the anxiety can definitely play a roll in it too, as anxiety has broad negative effects on the body.
 
Well it's been 5 months into my longterm comedown and I'm having digestive problems even now?... Is it even possible for me to get better?
 
Of course its not only possibly, but inevidable, just a matter of time. Has the digestive problems been consistant? Could be you are just getting sick or you ate something that didnt agree with you and you are attributing it falsely to your comedown.
 
it's definitely not something that I ate, because I have been eating very healthy for the past month.

I really just want this to be over with, so I can stop being such a "hypochondriac" like my brother says I am.

I've been eagerly awaiting recovery from this comedown but it's been so hard and frightening... you know?
 
Research what nutrients are required to consume a "balanced diet", and create your own meal plan based on this (minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, the proper ratio of energy nutrients).

HYDRATE.

Exercise regularly, both cardiovascular and strength training.

Do not sit on the internet reading horror stories of MDMA-related abuse and repercussions.

Go outside, socialize.

You will get better.

If you feel things are not improving, contact a medical professional and explain, IN FULL, what your symptoms are, and how you believe they came to be.

Well said!

Btw is that 5 month comedown purely from MDMA? i've never seen some1 this long down from PURELY mdma but im kind of new tho so much to learn :)
 
you guys are right, I need to stop going on bluelight because it hasn't really been helping my case.

I do exercise and eat healthy trust me, I have been for at least a month. Playing soccer vigorously like 4 times a week for 2 hours or more. Been doing pull ups/dips squats overhead press and stuffs.

this "5 month comedown" is purely from one night on MDMA. I had a major depressive episode about a week after doing it, since then I've been in this mental state.



Alright guys I'm gonna try to stop coming to bluelight... starting tomorrow, going until July!!

WISH ME SOME LUCK BABY
 
I wish you luck in your road to recovery. Please remember that medical and psychiatric professionals can be of particular assistance, and that anything you tell them is confidential, you will NOT get in to trouble for explaining your situation to them. Please keep this option in mind during your recuperation if you feel you are not progressing.

Best of luck to you. :)
 
no dude. If my brain can't recover naturally with a healthy lifestyle, then how is it gonna recover on meds?

I just want to do this naturally, with time. I don't want to have to see doctors and take medication.

If my brain can't heal with time? Well then I guess I'm fucked. But let's hope that's not the case!! ;)
 
I did not suggest the only path to recovery is through further medication. I am simply saying, if you feel things are not naturally progressing towards your desired goal, it may be time to speak with trained professionals who have experience in the treatment of medical and/or psychiatric issues. There are many things that they would be capable of illuminating to you, besides simply prescribing medication. I can almost guarantee you that you would not be the first person they've seen who asked for help after ingesting psychoactive substances.

Educated advice and positive thinking are incredible forces for good, and are certainly a better solution than simply hoping or praying things improve, especially if you are focused on the day-to-day negatives of your condition.

Is it possible your brain has suffered physiological damage? Yes, it's possible. It is also possible that simply focusing on these negatives will prevent you from recognizing the positive changes that may be taking place in your head, and in your life, over the course of your recovery. I am simply suggesting that if you feel conditions do not improve without intervention, that you may seek additional assistance from people who can advise you in a more professional manner than posts on an internet message board can do.

"Medical professionals" does not necessarily mean "ingesting medications".

Please consider this option. :)

Best of luck to you.

1) both. I had wierd digestive problems immediately after rolling and through the beginning of the comedown. Anxiety can cause its own problems but there is a ton of seratonin in your GI tract.

2) yes. On my first comedown, besides the DR and anxiety, digestive issues would pop up. Especially in the first few months.

3) definitely went away after time.

Good call on taking a break. BL can scare you into thinking you are a day away from death. I had issues with hypochondria in my first big comedown. You are ok, anxiety is a real tricky bitch and is capable of convincing you of almost anything.
 
Dawglaw you're like my fuckin idol right now man...

I have to recover from this shit 200 mg of mdma can't ruin the rest of my freakin life ya know?
 
Yeah dude. Youre experiencing what I went through. I promise things will return to normal, just takes longer than you want. Find what makes you comfortable and move on. One day you will wake up and realize its been a week since you had any problems.

I was a drunk idiot and redosed last week. It initially bought back the nasty anxiety and DR but I've been powering through. I think I'd be fine now but for my terrible coffee addiction. Stimulants and sensitive anxiety brain don't mix. My primary anxiety (panic attacks, feeling anxious, thought loops) is gone because I know I'll be ok. Now I'm dealing with varying amounts of DR. Uncomfortable? Yes. Terrifying? No.

Either way, take a break from BL. It will help. The dr I saw when I was at a very low point in my comedown told me to avoid BL for 5 weeks. It really helped with the negative thought loops and the irrational self diagnosing hypochondria.

Remember all a psychiatric professional will do is dish out pills. My experience of the 4 psychiatrists I have been to see is they have been fairly clueless in regards to MDMA and the associated issues. Most other users I speak to on here also get the same results from doctors and psychiatrists.

Although it may seem weird I have found the advice on this forum 10 fold better than any "medical advice" I have received.

The most dangerous thing about the psychiatrists is they dish out benzos and ADs. The benzos have given me major insomnia issues and the ADs gave me very bad sexual side effects including erectile dysfunction which can go on for years. Fortunately for me it cleared up once I stopped taking.

I am now clear of all this medication trash and I think it is important the message we give to people suffering from MDMA related comedown issues is avoid SSRIs at all costs. In the long run it doesnt help.

It would seem SSRI ads can help with normal depression and for a normal functioning brain but if you have frazzled your serotonin network from MDMA abuse then an SSRI will just make you suffer more.

Some evidence has suggested that the antidepressant Stablon can help with MDMA issues but this is an SSRE not an SSRI. In most countries it is not approved so you have to buy it online yourself.

Then you are seeing the wrong psychiatric professionals. :)

This is sad to hear. I hope you can find a mental health professional more experienced in responding to someone in your situation. I'd like to think lots of folks on Bluelight were trained, experienced medical professionals, but I'd venture to guess it's but a small percentage.

Is it possible you are confusing "psychiatrist" with "psychologist"? The latter is much more apt to medicate rather than discuss the issues at length, in order to find a root cause.

I certainly did not advocate the OP begin taking SSRI's, in fact, I believe I quite strongly voiced my opposition to such an arrangement

Dunno where you're from, but a psychiatrist is a MEDICAL DOCTOR and a psychologist is a PhD (doctor of philosophy). Closely related fields, however psychologists do not write prescriptions for drugs, as do psychiatrists..

OP - what do you mean by "when I poop it sucks?" Is your poop very hard or something?
