Hey, so I've been kinda naughty. I took roughly 0.5 of MDMA to myself a few days ago and have been having terrible nightmares following. I never take that much usually, but I felt like pushing my limits just once with MD and I had a great time - I was fucked ;) I've rolled 4-5-6 times this year and always try and space out at least a month between uses. Last time I rolled was just UNDER a month ago, but it was a special occasion so.... no more till August regardless.


It's been days since I dropped. I'm having very bad nightmares and I wake up in cold sweats. I can sometimes remember them - dreaming that I've cheated on my missus and wake up in a blind panic. Some more disturbing - graphic and terrifying monsters etc. Not good. Is there any evidence that MDMA use can lead to night terrors? My sleeping patterns are real shit at the moment due to me finishing uni and having loads of free time to 'game' on the ol' Xbox etc. I think it's probably that, but it always seems to occur post MD use.

EDIT :: This has happened before as explained below

Cheers for any insight, J.

Just to add, I had a serious bout of night terrors around October time, and then again around February, this is not the first time, and all seem to be in and around MD use (I think)
 
well when me and my friend were candy flipping he had a dream that a 6 foot catterpiller was chasing him.

hope this answers your question :P
 
Eeerrr... Noo... I know you can have vivid dreams when ON MDMA, but it is a week after use and I am still get really bad nightmares, and sometimes it will go on for 2-3 weeks after use.
 
idk man i don't think having bad dreams is something you can blame on a drug. i get bad dreams a lot..

try smoking pot.. i smoke everyday and i never have (or at least am aware of) dreams. whenever i stop smoking for a day or 2 i start having crazy dreams again
 
I actually have nice vivid dreams in the following weeks, since using mdma I've noticed I'm less susceptible to nightmares.. I take long breaks though, and I've never done .5 in one night.
 
The only dreams I've had on MDMA are very vivid but usually pleasent. I don't know I'd these night terrors are directly related... But my opinion is there not.
 
I don't think the drugs can really affect the nature of the dreams, but I certainly dream more vividly after MDMA use. I'm also a heavy weed smoker though, and don't generally dream(or at least don't remember them). Any dream is a bit of a shock to me these days:)
 
I have had really really bad nightmares after I comedown and go to sleep. I'm thinking that mayb u just did to much and that could b y they r lasting so long. I have no proof, just my opinion..

Yes!!!

Many times they are quite terrifying.... horrible shit

I think its because your brain is short of serotonin and tryin to jump start itself...people told me to take 5HTP but that made it worse and started giving me "Brain Zaps"...which can only be described as grabbing an electric fence at the same time as a camera flash goin off in your eyes.

But I find it went away when I started exercising properly. It got a lot easier to fall alseep quicker and ignore the nightmares when i was burned out from running down the beach I just fuckin smoke a blunt and pass out.
 
on multiple occasions i have gone to bed after rolling and woken up freaked out. its like im too hot, too cold, and am having trouble breathing, all at the same time.
 
to be honest, that sounds more like a nightmare issue, try 5-htp and L-Theanine with GABA for a few days, that should put you in a calmer, happier place during your waking life.

as far as nightmares, two options i see: try to place yourself in a good space by watching something you like (lightshows, music videos, calming hippy jam sesh kinda music, TV shows that are somewhat comedic or light, whatever you choose)

or, if you get the feeling you are going to have a nightmare (you probably will) decide that you are going to ride it out and try to beat your nightmare. I had a dream where a 9 foot tall dark figure was standing above the bed right when i was about to fall asleep, and when id dream it would be there still. So, i finally decided i was going to fight it off, i won, it was tight.
It's kinda like CASPA said
"he was so hard even his nightmares were scared of him"

i find that if you "beat" whatever is in your dream, you'll stop the nightmares, and you'll feel like a bad ass when u wake up :)))))
 
Haha I'm not easily scared. I know theyre only dreams, it's not like I'm wetting myself at night, I just wake up and think "fuck sake this again". :P I'm in no way attributing my nightmares to my MDMA use alone, even if there was evidence to suggest such a thing I would still use MDMA, it is my relief in life. I live a happy life, but have a number of health issues at the moment.

I never seem to have dreams on my comedown, I',m that exhausted that I just drop dead :P It's the weeks following.

The nightmares will probably be gone in a few days or a week, was just wondering :) Thanks for the help anyways guys, roll on.

I can live with it regardless ~ J.
 
nightmares are the worst sides I got from mdma/stimulants abuse... it seems like serotonine has something to do with your dreams, and somehow, nightmares do appear after you have depleted your serotonins... sleep paralysis is got to be the scariest shit ever.... it will go away, some piracetam could help, also do some cardio training, like running and shit...
 
Caspa blows, and it's "geezer was so hard even his fucking nightmares were scared of him"


Try 5HTP, melatonin...or something else sleep related...I quit rolling but I have never had any weird dreams due to e use...I also take diphenhydramine almost every night.
 
Melatonin gives me crazy vivid dreams. Not always bad, but so vivid I wake up thinking "What...the....fuck."

yeah, we all know caspa isnt the best - didnt know i wasnt allowed to like that sample.

and that would make sense, 'cause its from that british movie the crew (i feel like they have the same group of actors in their action movies)

*edit: i lied, its from "the business," not "the crew"
 
I find certain batches give me horrific nightmares, whilst most do not. There was also a very hard brown crystal type I sourced from the states last year which give horrific audio hallucinations about 36 hours after ingestion. I heard people running up the stairs and jumping up and down on the bed next to me, it was really quite a horrific ordeal. I also felt like I was sinking into the bed.
