FINALLY procured some MDA (straight to black w/ marquis AND no color reaction from the Simons...wahoo!) and my girlfriend and myself each took 105mg at a music festival in the southwest this last weekend. Now my girlfriend is much smaller than me but we always take the same amount of whatever we are taking, except for booze/weed. When we partake in said activities (only roll/trip 3-5 times a year) we usually either take 125-140mg of MDMA or 100-120mg of 6-apb to put things into perspective. When doing research on MDA I figured to treat it as 6-apb and to take 105mg. What I did not realize was that we were about to get our asses handed to us, especially my girlfriend. I'll give a trip report to give you BL'ers an idea of the night and maybe you guys can tell me what would be a better dose for my gf and some advice.

We get to the festival, set up camp, then go inside. One thing I need to point out before going any further is that we only had about 2-3hrs of sleep the night before because of all the traveling. Once we were inside, we had fun throughout the day checking out all the stages and dance tents and catching some of our favorite acts. Then once the sun set we knew it was time to get all kinds of weird. We both took 105mg of MDA and kept on dancing and having a good time. About an hour into the experience I finally began to feel it (this is rare for me cause on an empty stomach mdma hits me within 30 minutes) and I realize that this stuff was gonna be good. I begin to get that feeling in my stomach that we all know and my eyes begin to vibrate. I begin to have less energy and realize that pretty soon I am going to be floored. At this moment my girlfriend is feeling it to and she says she wants to sit down because she felt really tired. Once we sit down we are floooooooored. My heart is beating pretty rapidly and I begin to be pretty anxious, yet at the same time I was very tired. My eyes are all over the place, and my gf throws some sunglasses on because her eyes are rolling into the back of her head.

This is where the experience became too intense for my girlfriend. She began to feel really sick and very cold. I'm slowly but surely getting used to being floored and once I regained my composure from the intense comeup I begin comforting my girlfriend making sure she was alright. I made sure that she was drinking water and just tried to lighten up her mood, since I was beginning to feel all empathetic from the MDA. I convince her maybe we should get up and start dancing again and she hesitantly agrees. We get back to the stage and I start dancing and just absolutely loving life. Eye wiggles are just going insane and I begin to have visuals. Most notably things were breathing and colors seemed to have more depth to them, the light show on the stage we were at was absolutely insane. I also had tracers from all the lights. I never get visuals from mdma, only eye wiggles and slight tracers, so this was a huge plus. I also began to have a psychedlic headspace unlike mdma, kind of hard to explain but not a bad thing whatsoever. Similar I guess to how you feel on the tail end of a 2c-b trip. My girlfriend wasn't getting any of these positive effects however. She is too floored to dance and after about 15 minutes she starts running and grabs my hand. After about 10 steps she throws up, luckily not on anyone else at the show because everyone got out of the way in time. She felt better but for only about 5 minutes then we decided we should head back to our campsite.

Once we got back to our campsite, it had been about 3.5 hrs since we took the MDA. My girlfriend gets sick again at the campsite and still was not really feeling any positive effects but I was feeling amazing (hiding it as much as I could though because I felt really bad for her, she was in rough shape and I didn't want her to feel like she was ruining my night or anything). She puts on warm clothes and drifts asleep. I couldn't believe it because I was still in hyperspace mode. The rest of the night I spent my time making sure she was alright while catching imaginary feathers floating all over the inside of my tent. At some point I fell asleep and then we woke up at 7am because our tent was way too hot. We both felt pretty rough but no different then a night out on MDMA or 6-apb.

So my question is: Is it relatively normal to have a reaction like my girlfriend had with MDA? Or could her negative reaction be because she took too much for her size (she weighs 50lbs less than me)? Or could it be that the lack of sleep (2-3hrs of sleep) mixed with being out in the sun all day (even though we stayed properly hydrated all day) made her body too exhausted and she couldn't properly feel the positive effects of the MDA?

Either way, she said she is open to taking it again because she knows I had a blast on it. Would probably want to take a smaller dosage of it though and mix it with mdma to add a little bit of a more positive push and energy. So I was thinking maybe next time taking 85mg of MDMA with 45mg of MDA or something similar sometime this summer.

Her body & mind could have just been too exhausted to handle it. That's good she didn't have any abnormal symptoms the next day.
 
yeah, sounds like the dose was too much for her but im not positive on that. i would try mixing it with the MDMA next time like you said. the MDMA might help the experience along for her if she usually has a good time on MDMA. make sure you get your doses sorted too. good luck man.
