hello all
posted this in another thread but no one replied so I thought id try this one:
so back in late June this year I attended a music festival and went on a huge drugs and alcohol bender. I took a stupid amount of strong xtc pills as well as mixing with other drugs. afterwards, as you would expect, I had a really really bad intense comedown (intense depression, sleep
paralysis, anxiety, brain zaps and ect) which lasted about a week. but the brain zaps have remained.
they have gotten much better - they used to be all day everyday, really harsh and intense, I was told they could last months and months which concerned me. I now only get them on weekdays, mainly from around 5-6pm onwards mainly from the midweek to Friday. the only way I can get rid of them is by sleeping or exercise. I don't really get them on weekends, it's just during the week, whilst at work, during high brain activity when my brain starts to get tired. the zaps are basically a soft kind of pulsing 'thud' and normally occur whilst walking around or moving my eyes from left to right. my ears are always constantly ringing, I've always had tinnitus but now much worse because of my stupidity.
I don't plan on doing drugs again, I've learnt my lesson and the last 6 months have been horrible. It has slowly gotten better, and become less frequent every week but I feel like the healing process is slowing down. I am going to the doctors in the new year and see what they say. I wanted to post on here as there seems to be a lot of support and was wondering if anyone has ever suffered this sort of long term comedown before? or has any advice? I took 5 htp for 2 months, eat oily fish once a day and also take a half hour nap during lunch everyday.
please share your thoughts/stories, I am fully aware of my ignorance and learnt my lesson. cheers.
