MDA nightmare/ Advice

Eat a lot of food high in trytophan - http://www.livestrong.com/article/247974-list-of-foods-high-in-tryptophan/. The exercises should also help with sleep. I have loaded myself with supplements - multivitamin once a day, omega 3 3 times a day, vitamin c one or two times a day, magnesium and b50. It is much better if you can take these nutrients from natural sources though.

Yeah, I've been trying my best. Eating lots of fruits/veggies nuts things like that. Before I took this I was experiencing anxiety and trouble sleeping so I think this just added to it. Update: She said it was 'White Lightening" I looked it up and that is exactly what the lil guy I popped looked like.
 
yeah some people are just not mean to roll i guess lolls as for me I'm done with drugs! I hope I can touch alcohol in the future though :(
 
Absolutely, I cannot even imagine doing any sort of drug again after feeling like this. One last question, I see everyone saying that sleep is sooo important to recovery but if I am unable to sleep should I take a sleep aid to kick start the process. I feel like a zombie today at work.
 
It's better to consult a doctor first though before taking anything... Good luck! :)
 
mdma can cause you feeling a bit out of it for the next few days and can trigger anxiety if you're prone to that (especially if you had a lot of stress lately). mda is even worse in that respect. i've been in a slightly dizzy, anxious, slightly "psychedelic" state for two to three weeks after my first time of mda.

the most important things to remember (besides of course getting your stuff tested before tasting it!) imho are:
-it's not neurotoxicity.
-it will go away.

things i've found to help are calming down, relaxing, getting enough sleep and to a lesser degree eating healthy.

if you have trouble with calming down and sleeping well (you're most likely to), benzos help a lot. if i'm in that situation and take some bromazepam to combat the anxiety, it cuts down the time needed to feel normal again from 1-4 weeks to 3-7 days. just be sure not to take them too long and when you stop then taper down your dose.

Thanks for your advice. Looking back my anxiety was coming to a head due to work stress and I think I was probably due for some therapy anyway, which is why this comedown has probably been so hard on me. I don't think I'll be taking any drugs other than those prescribed by doctors just because I really don't want to mess with my brain anymore than I have. I'm on week 3 1/2 with little improvment but I feel that I atleast have the knowledge now that it isn't an easy road and to just hang in there. I slept well last night and had a nice evening however today I feel very dissassociated with my surroundings and my body, trying to focus is verrrry hard, but I'm just trying to push through it.

Hang in there! This kind of recovery isn't quick but you will improve.
 
Just thought I'd update you all a little bit, and for those who are also experiencing a bad comedown.

Well today was really scary, as I had a pretty major panick attack in the middle of my friends thesis proposal. I think I perpetuated the anxiety by the fact that I knew I could not flee the situation, and that I had to remain still. I literally thought I was going to PASS or my vision was going to cut out. BUT I breathed through and survived without passing out/having to flee or crying for that matter lol. The good that came from this and the reason I felt like I should post, is it really shows how much power we have over this and that so many of the physical symptoms are perpetuated by anxiety not "brain damage". Also with hard work, and continuing to put yourself out there as you always have really helps recovery. anyway take care everyone!
 
That's great to know you fought it off girlfriend! I remember months ago how awful it was to have panic attacks. You are definitely right about controlling the situation.. I too did that many times on my first months. Given time these symptoms should definitely wear off. Gooob girl! Keep it up!
 
my anxiety lasted for 3 months. im pretty sure that a few attempts to quit smoking cigs contributed, as I get very anxious without nicotine after 2 days. but im on month 6 or 7 now and have noticed great improvements. pretty much the 3rd was the worst for me, and month 3-4 saw great improvements. and that was after a shit ton of abuse of various substances. due to me being naïve and such, I never tested anything I took, and pretty much took ridiculous amounts of whatever I could get my hands on at the time. im sure its been said above, but lay off everything for a while, exercise, and make sure you are getting your proper nutrients in your diet. all of these things will speed up the recovery. at 6 months of recovery, I feel about 85-90% there.

as for the anxiety, it can be a bitch and a half, but just take deep breaths and relax. I would get them in the middle of class several times a day for no apparent reason at all, and it would freak me out. even thought I was having a heart attack a few times. it could get better in a week, it could take several months... but it does get better. hang in there mate
 
OP in terms if if you took the genuine article it might help if you post some of the effects and the experience. Nobody can say for sure what it was based on that but informed opinions from those who have used it can clarify possibilities and allow you to ascertain the best likely path for treatment, further research etc. Some info or opinions is better then nothing, im sure nobody would disagree.

As for my experience Sometimes I get the feeling I can't tell what's causing what. A lot of the confused/dp/dr(this can be very intense at times) feelings I get seem to worsen when I am anxious. However today I felt pretty good(not anxious, fairly clear headed) when I woke up given how I've been feeling lately. And then all of a sudden I got SOOO sleepy like I could pass out at any moment, which causes brain fog and then anxiety. I'm not as sleepy now but I feel like I don't really have a hold on my brain or reality at the moment. All very frustarting. I feel like I make progress and then I go back to feeling miserable. I think the loss of control over my sleep patterns is the most disconcerting for me. I know that Seratonin can affect these things but this seems so extreme. Again it has only been a month but I don't feel i've gotten better. I go between feeling alright and then feeling like this. One thing that has helped me to sleep like a normal person even to bring my head back to reality is(sorry to be blunt) sex. I find that I sleep better/un-interuppted after I've had sex. It's with someone I feel very comfortable with and he often brings some clarity to my head as well without having had sex. I'm trying to see if there are patterns or triggers for what causes these things. I sit at a computer most of the day for work and the lack of movement might make the sleepy feeling kick in. It's the weirdest tired feeling though, it's almost like I have no control over my body. Concentrating is VERY hard and I often stutter/mix my words up in this state. Buuut I'm still taking it one day at a time. I have made an appointment to see a pyschiatrist that i've seen in the past for anxiety just to see what he thinks. Frustating and scary but as always I'm hangin' in there. :)
 
Sex is the only thing I don't have at the moment. I actually had a bad attack of this weird dizziness today at work as well. It seems to get worse when I move my eyes from side to side or stare at something.. Its a really scary feeling. Its like being on a boat and the tide is high so it gives me this anxious feeling that I'm going to fall of. But yet I'm still hanging on like you. I'm going to try to medidate tonight before I go to sleep my bff suggested that I do that so maybe it will help me

Ok, i was actually wondering about your experience of the MDA pill you took. Understanding that could lead to potential truths. Thing is MDA is already known to be more stressful on the body then MDMA and can cause more negative side effects.

Personally when i unknowingly got MDA tabs instead of MDMA, it was the best experience of my life still to this day compared to every other drug, the MDA visuals as the most incredible I have ever seen due to the detail and realism. I loved the MDMA visuals. The MDA experience is very psychedelic like LSD with some MDMA qualities. Is that what you experienced?
 
thumbellina I have been like this for 4 and 1/2 months lol. I am experiencing pretty much exactly what you're describing.

Some people have told me it can take 6-12 months to recover. I don't know if that's true but I'm holding on to it with my life!!

Please let us know if you begin to feel any better.
