Just wanted to share a recent experience in the spirit of harm reduction. Thought this experience helped me out quite a bit and maybe it could help out someone else.
Spent a night doing MDMA primarily orally. As good as it felt, the circumstances were far from ideal. Stayed up all night. This would have been fine if I was dancing, raving, or just chilling out with some people while listening to some solid music but the people I was with just wanted to play mortal kombat. I was raised without any video games save for a few PC games so this felt like a total waste of MDMA and a night. Tried to sleep at the friend's house since I didn't feel ok to drive yet but didn't sleep more than about 30 min-1 hour. The crash didn't hit too hard, but it was gradual feelings of exhaustion, regret, depression, and lethargy that kept getting stronger (I would like to note here that it is important to pay attention to one's emotions, accept them, and do something productive with them. However, when coming off of drugs such as MDMA or other stimulant-related drugs I find that it is more difficult than usual to be productive with this information since the body and mind are depleted of essential elements to function in harmony). I made it home and took the following:
-1200 mg Omega 3-6-9
-1000 mg L-Tyrosine
-200 mg 5-HTP
-A multivitamin
I also ate some granola for breakfast and started drinking water regularly. About an hour and a half later, a protein shake was had. Then I felt very sleepy and slept for about an hour and a half. Upon waking up, I felt slightly better, but my thinking was still foggy and it was hard to sort through my emotions about the night before. I seemed fixated on how shitty I felt. I decided to take 37.5 mg of Stablon (aka 3x tianeptine tablets). Normally, this dose will improve my mood for several days at a time, oftentimes all I need to get out of a depressive episode. I do not take this SSRE on any kind of regular basis. I have it for emergency situations where I know I am having a depressive episode. Anyways...
It really did help. About 30 minutes after taking it, I was feeling very clear-headed, I got much more of an appetite, and my cognitive abilities returned to near-full. I was also able to accept my emotions and move on from them, rather than sit in a dark corner and contemplate how much of a waste of everything the night before had been.
I hope this is helpful to someone, and I apologize for the rambling.
Peace and Love.
