Hello, a month ago I took a clean .1g "sass" (MDA) powder capsule and have had many issues since. I've just felt really not like myself... I have strange waves of dread, no real train of thought like my inner monologue/voice is just gone and my mind is completely blank, significant apathy, no personality, diminished reactions to things that should spark a reaction normally (i.e. being startled/surprised/excited etc.), poor sleep but never truly tired, my abstract thinking/creative/social/multitasking abilities have greatly diminished. Driving at night is a nightmare. I used to be able to handle so much and was a 4.0 student and now the easiest of tasks are unmanageable.. it's crazy. This causes me huge amounts of distress and i've been completely miserable for the entire month. I've only gotten worse since beginning 25mg of Zoloft. If anyone has any insight into this issue, please offer some words of advice.

Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and get plenty of sleep. You will feel better with time. If you truly think the zoloft is making you feel worse, you should tell your doctor and consider tapering off of it. In general I suggest you follow your doctor's advice on most things, but SSRI's are not renowned for being helpful with long term comedowns.

As I said in your other thread also I do not believe a single 100mg dose of MDA is going to cause any lasting neurological changes. You have not given yourself brain damage.
Did you take Zoloft prior to taking MDA? SSRIs can themselves cause the effects you are describing - it is quite possible that the timing of taking MDA was just coincidental.
If you began taking Zoloft to treat the symptoms induced by the MDA, then this was a very bad idea, you should have given your brain time to recover properly on it's own. On the bright side if this is the situation then you can be reasonably sure that your symptoms will improve with discontinuation of Zoloft, although probably not immediately, give it at least another month, I'd say. I would also not like to say that you should ignore your doctor's advice and I have a hard time believing a doctor would prescribe an SSRI to someone who had just recently taken an empathogen, but I know in some parts of the world doctors like to overprescribe and are relatively ignorant about many recreational drugs, also, perhaps you did not mention it to your doctor... if you did not, you should do so.
