Did a .25 bomb of mandy on friday and I'm feeling really shit, like suicidal a bit. I'm not really enjoying my life, is there anything I can do to feel better about myself, or anything I can eat or drink etc
 
This maybe bad advice but I always find benzos and weak opiates help just to take the edge off a bit. Might help u feel a lillte better until your serotonin levels get back to normal. We've all been where you are trust me I've been suacidal for a week after a heavy weekend but u will get back to normal it just takes time. Be safe n be positive
 
^ they might help but remember they are very much only a short term solution - comedowns don't last for long, where as a benzo/opioid addiction can cause you all kinds of problems for a long time!

Best thing you can do IMO is eat properly and healthily, sleep well, exercise (get those endorphins pumping) and try to distract yourself (good films, lose yourself in a game etc..) If you're feeling really down do you have someone you can talk to, pehaps a friend who knows what a bad comedown feels like? Make sure you leave it a good while before you take MDMA again too. Comedowns really can be brutal but you should be feeling a lot better very soon <3

We don't cover MDMA here so moving this to Ecstasy Discussion :)

I'm going through the same thing and never touching MDMA again for the rest of my life. I've been crying all day long, feel claustrophoic just by being in my home which keeps me going outside to have cigarettes. My dog is a diabetic and everytime I look at her I feel like she's dying, I get severely depressed, and I've never been this sad in a loooong time. This is the 3rd time I've taken MDMA in the last 6 months and honestly did not think it would fuck me up like this on my 3rd try.

Also, I'm prescribed suboxone and have been tapering it down for months, so I wasn't too happy in the first place. But I DEFINITLEY was not like THIS.
Today I upped my sub by about .25mg and it barely gave me any relief, although it did help just a little bit.

Tommorow I'm picking up 5-HTP, taking a bunch of b vitamins and eating veggies/protien all week long and exercizing.

I will not be taking MDMA ever again for as long as I live after this experience. Like you said I don't feel suicidal, but its pretty damn close. I feel more suffocated and sad like a family member died than anything.

Good luck and PLEASE take care of yourself!

You have any idea how much the sample costs?

I use to make speed (I don't anymore) so I'm going to see if I can test it myself somehow. I'm fairly competent at chemistry so there's got to be a way to do it at home. Or just to prove its not MDMA by using solubility/melting point some how. One thing I'll tell you is even though I didn't fully roll, the come up felt exactly like MDMA would. I'm going to get some solubility charts/more information on this I just read about the compound and if thats whats going I'll shit my pants.

ps. is it not normal to feel intense depression/crying from an MDMA come down (even if I didn't peak)? I thought that was par for the course even if I didn't take a lot but now I'm absofuckinglutely finding out for sure. I just figured since it was my 3rd time in 6 months that I was particulary sensitive to MDMA. Have lots of experience with speed but not MDMA.

edit: I think you guys are definitely onto something because a lot of the shit I felt today seems to be more related to piperazine than MDMA (after reading about it). I still am not 100% sure but like I said I am absolutely finding out about this one way or another. I had a horrible hangover today (tired/lethargic), no sleep, depressed out of my mind and this does not seem typical for mdma for sure.

THANK YOU!

edit2: I do NOT need a test, I can definitely do this myself by freebasing a small portion of what I took. If the freebase is a yellow green color I absolutely know its not MDMA and is benzylpiperazine instead. Will let you guys know!

^ I don't think that method will work for you to find out without a doubt...


The other option is to buy a Marquis test from dancesafe.org, it's only $25 and can tell you almost exactly what your chemical is.

Purple/Black = MDxx
Orange = Meth/Amphetamines
Yellow = Cathinones
No reaction = Piperazine
Green = 2C-x/DOx
and more
 
Ok perfect. I'm going to try testing a bit myself and if I can't determine by relative color of the freebase I'll just splurge for a kit.

Thanks.
 
Alright so I definitely feel at this point that roughly 60% of it is in fact MDMA (just a guess from what I saw) but I was suprised to smell/see a very familiar other compound in it that I have known sensitivities too (speed). It honestly didn't even click in my
head till I smelled the speed freebase and became sick just because I seem to have an aversion to speed now and days.

I used so much speed back in the day that if I take it anymore I go into a near seizure/psychosis/depression. So I haven't touched the garbage in over a decade but apparently I definitely got a low dose of speed with a larger amount being mdma.

This is WHY I believe this.

I did not use baking soda because I know the heat required using baking soda will vaporize the freebase amine (whether its mdma/speed).

I used lye, made a hot solution, then slowly titrated it into a wide pyrex dish with the sample I thought was MDMA.
As I slowly did this I counted 8 very dark drops (like a light molasses color) come to the top ALONG with another 4 drops of a yellow oil.
I made sure not to disturb it/shake it at all, and removed 3 drops of yellow oil with a dropper (as 1 drop mixed in with the MDMA). I put it on a spoon and smelled it and
it is absolutely speed. The other 8 drops of dark brown oil fit right into what free base MDMA should look like.
So I'm realizing now I should not even be touching MDMA if there is any risk of it having speed in it (which I already knew there was potential
for I just really thought I had good MDMA). I did not get the familiar speed effects, but I believe what happened is since I'm highly sensitive to speed, the MDMA managed to cover the effects of it till it wore off today and I had after effects from the meth.

I didn't see anything green to believe there was piperazine in it although obviously this was just a home test so I can never be too sure. There IS absolutely
speed in it, and since I've OD'd on speed in the past I realistically shouldn't be touching any stims regardless of what I think they are.

Either way I just think I've abused my body too much in the past and thats really what caused this. I've only been smoking pot since I stopped using speed,
got some MDMA and figured it would be fun. But obviously my OD to speed over 10 years ago is still causing some type of horrible reaction even these days.

Just my cue to stop fucking around with stims permanently. =]

Thanks all for your help but since it appears this MDMA has a good amount of speed in it (and I thought I was a speed expert lol) I'm flushing this shit down the toilet.

ps. I also feel a lot more relaxed now as the second I smelled that yellow oil I felt like a fucking idiot and smiled. The speed got me again! Not much I can do but mope around till I'm better again. No more random outbursts of tears so at least thats a positive.

I Usually drink loads of decaff green tea, and also take vit C and vit E and then i hit my vaporizer, get stoned and enjoy the high that comes with that. Its amazing lol

Benzos+opiates seem like a miracle cure. Strong opiates work too. =D Ofcourse they are a short term 'patch-up methods' and not a solution. While they'll mostly kill the hangover, as effie said, they're very habit forming drugs. (Even if you 'only' use them for stim comedowns, things might very well escalate from there.)

So I'll stick to suggesting isotonic drinks, vit C, magnesium, 5-htp, sleep, and healthy food before, during and after rolling. That's pretty much all I can think of right now.

I usually gobble up a multivit pill, a magnesium pill and drink loads of orange juice. I don't really pay attention to what I eat, but I make sure I eat enough.

As to the content, piperazine pills give me that kind of hangover. Mdma gives me a mild depressed feeling, nowhere near as intense as you described though.
/e: Oh, so you've figured out it's speed. Well, that tends to give me a bad hangover too. Especially when the two are combined. Nowhere near suicidal, but pretty damn shitty nonetheless. Overuse caused this for me aswell.
 
suicidal? damn bro sorry to hear that. the day after i roll i usually feel like shit, dont feel like doing anything and have no energy. then after that the worst part is over because i start to recover
 
in my experience MDMA, comedowns are a case of mind over matter. Being lazy and feeling sorry for yourself is a sure way to feel like shit, get up do something, eat well, go for a walk and just man up and you'd be surprised how well it works.

Or just kick back with a big fatty.
