Hey guys I'm new to these forums, just wanted to ask a quick question and get you guys' thoughts on my recent experience... which was pretty scary to say the least, so please hear me out :)

I have rolled 4 or 5 times before and have been fine. Last month I went to a rave with some friends, obvs bombed some good mandy I had rolled on before :) This was approx sometime between 12 and 1am. I took two bombs totaling somewhere between 150 - 250mg - I was planning to take my second later but I was paranoid about the bouncers!!!!!!! It normally doesn't take much for me to roll hard as I am pretty skinny and have a very fast metabolism!!!

I rolled pretty hard and had an MDMAZING night (Nero aftershow btw in London) was sickkk!!! Anyways sometime between 4:30am and 5:30am just as Nero were about to drop their closing tune, something very strange started to happen. Everytime the strobe lights fired, I would sort of be totally absorbed by them, they would hook me, I would focus solely on them and would shudder and convulse perfectly in time with them... I was very confused but it felt good... a few people started to look at me and I just smiled at them lol. Anyway this happens a few more time but I snap out of it. It happens again and this time I wake up in a back room with paramedics... like I teleported!!! My friends tell me I started to violently shake and fell in to my friends arms... one of my friends thought I had died as I went cold and turned grey. Apparently they turned the lights on and cut Nero off right as they were about to drop the final tune!!! they were like WTF!!!!!!! I'm told I was unconscious for a few minutes and then started mumbling random stuff. I am told I vommed on one paramedics face!!!!!! and had to be told every 5 minutes what happened as I would forget... I have no memory of any of this. I would keep asking what happened, why I was wearing a different shirt etc every few minutes... my short term memory was fried!!!

Now the question I want to ask is if any of you guys have heard of anything like this before? If you think it could have been the MDMA etc?

I went straight to the hospital that morning and all tests were fine... I am going for an epilepsy scan soon, however I have never had a seizure before and my family has no history of epilepsy.

I have a theory that it may have been water intoxication!!! do you think this could be the case? Somebody kept giving me extra water aswell as the water I was getting from the bar, reckon I drank between 3 - 5 litres over maybe 2 or 3 hours... is this possible?

Anyways guys, many thanks if you guys took the time to read this or pose your thoughts, I would really appreciate it as scared to roll again. :(
 
That is very strange. It may be that the MDMA is bad, perhaps you overdosed, may be water intoxication, may be some kind of medication or supplement you are taking interacting, or a combination of any of those most likely.

It's hard to say, but if you suspect water intoxication (very common on MDMA), it could very well be that. MDMA causes anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) release, causing water retention, and subsequently hyponatremia. Some people have gotten hyponatremia even after not drinking any water while rolling. The ADH release was enough to trigger it. This is why I recommend keeping doses within a reasonable range to prevent this from happening.

how much did you eat that day? because i have seen a similar thing happen with my GF when she did a bunch of amps and stayed up for 3 days straight... she basically didnt eat and then passed out and had a sort of petite mal siezure.. the next 3 hours was the same sort of situation e.g. she would come to, try to get up and as soon as she would get her head up she would pass right back out... it was basically a combination of very low blood sugar and low blood pressure (as a result of the first)

That's how i get with ALL lights and lasers at raves... Absolutely lost in both them and the music.

Sounds like you had an awful lot of water but then again, 150mg - 250mg in one go? and you say it don't take you much to get going? Well 150mg would be my max, i have a low tolerance. 250mg is way too high of a dose for yourself, i would stick to 100mg - 150mg if i was you. 150mg being the Maximum.

Got to say, it's really hard to tell, but it sounds to me like perhaps you were having less of a seizure and were more so just really really fucked on MDMA? :)

Are you and your friends experienced with people taking MDMA to the point whereby their eyes roll back into their head and they squirm about on the ground, blurting out random nonsense with a 2 second memory?

If not, then it sounds like maybe this happened, but your friends were completely unaware of it/freaked out and associated it with being a seizure?

I'm probably the most susceptible person I know of that this happens to, and I know that 1/4g of MDMA would absolutely floor me me to bits. Would probably have me in a mess for at least a good few hours.

So, isn't it possible that (hopefully) you were just a bit messy? Would your friends recognise that?

Holy shit, just what happened at my first rave. Saw this one guy that looked unbelievably monged - his shivverish gurns were scarey and he didn't even have pupils in his eyes... I mean, how do people do this!? He wasn't smiling at all; just looked in genuine pain. Same night, a young girl in-front of me just passed out over her bf's shoulders, she came back around 30 minutes after I got her some water - fucking scary though. I was thinking shit she might be experiencing serotonin syndrome.

Welcome to UK Hardcore I guess... I did find some loved-up ravers to enjoy my night with though! :)
 
I've posted on this before: strobe lights can induce seizures.
In a famous case in the sixties powerful strobe lighting was used in a club in the UK, panic broke out and there was a rush for the doors. Several people were injured and one or two died.
After that strobe lighting was made subject to regulation.
It's long been known that flashing lights can induce hallucinations. Students in the fifties built "flicker machines" in order to experience these effects. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamachine)
Other people may experience seizures.
Taking any kind of drug will make you more sensitive to the effect.
To avoid having the experience again, try looking at a steady light source when the strobe is on (l keep a small torch in my purse for this reaso
