So, I'm not what you'd call super experienced, but I've used molly (told to be pure but who the f knows) a handful of times now. I've bombed it and insufflated it, but every time I've used it I've had no comedown problems whatsoever. Only played with nitrous oxide once before, but never had an experience like this. Also, I smoke top-quality weed all day, every day.

Recently, I purposely starved myself for a few hours (to assure an empty stomach), bombed one molly with a good friend and my girlfriend, and had the ROLLLL of my life =D

Smoking tons of top quality purple cannabis all night, and taking nitrous oxide hits throughout the night to keep peaking the molly high, we were all rolling balls the whole time, huggin' and lovin' on each other and all. However, at one point when I took a nitrous hit and something sort of 'clicked' in my head. I guess I started to trip out or something, but whatever my mind started thinking it wasn't pretty. My mind sort of...shifted to another form of thinking. It's really hard to explain, but here's my attempt: I looked at the bigger picture, sort of a top-down view on the entire world, and thought "Why are we here? What is this all for? Why do we fight so hard to survive?". Odd, I know, but it scared me. Suddenly, as I looked around the room, I didn't recognize my friends. My girlfriend of 3 years looked like a complete stranger to me. I knew who they were, but they were suddenly....I don't know how to put it....meaningless? Like ants under a magnifying glass is what they looked like, however, I was one of them and I knew it. I started to wonder "Am I dead? Did I overdose or something? Did I die and now I'm in hell or something?" At the moment, it all made perfect sense, but at the same time confused the fuck out of me. I slowly slipped out of this and started recognizing my friends again, euphoria started setting in again and I had a good time the rest of teh night, but still shaken by what I unexpectedly saw.

The next day was fun, little waves of euphoria came here and there, and I felt chill all day. The day after that, however, I started to feel really depressed. I kept flashing back to that mind-shift and it was depressing me because I still was feeling the "What is this all for" feeling. I started missing my family really badly, started to get really upset about the weather, and wondered if this was all a comedown, or if I had damaged my brain...

I look back and laugh now, the feelings are all gone, but man, that was a hell of a comedown. What a terrible feeling. I think I'll steer clear of the nos from now on. Molly is good enough on it's own. %)

Thanks for reading.

i've had the same effect on many substances. that bout of existential terror has crept up on me many times. i've also experienced it with nitrous a couple times too.

Good to know I'm not alone. I absolutely hated that feeling, it was pure fear.

This makes me scared to try LSD.

This also makes me wonder, if something can "click" in our brains like this, and cause days of fear and depression, can the opposite happen? Can something happen that causes extreme joy and empathy for the next couple of days? It would be nice to have hallucinated something so joyful that it made me smile every time I thought back to it, not give me chills and scare me!! :)
 
in my case i find the experiences show me an underlying hangup that i thought had been resolved. the other day i had an intense dmt experience that showed me i never really came to terms with my existential anxiety. i've had this overwhelming anxiety since my late teens and thought after years of meditation and discovering my spirituality a few years ago i had finally overcome it. dmt shattered my placations and showed me that my anxiety still lingers behind the barriers i constructed to pacify myself.

i dont find these experiences to be completely bad. sure, whilst in the grip of these experiences it can be one of those moments where i keep asking myself "why the fuck do i keep messing with these substances?", and i swear them off entirely. but upon regaining ground i've always walked away learning some important things.
 
it may have scared you, but did you not look at the world in a new way? maybe the knowledge hit you so hard, that fear set in.
