Okay so I literally made this account so I could ask this question because it's been bothering me for months now.

Went to EDC this summer in Vegas and had a pretty bad experience the third day.
I took the first day 1.5 pills and had a really good experience. Skipped second day, and then rolled third day and just took one pill. The roll was fine throughout the night but a few hours in I started experiencing an insanely dry throat. I probably bought 5 waters and gatorades and downed them and tried whatever I could to make this horrible dry feeling go away, but nothing worked. It was getting harder and harder to swallow but I tried to ignore it just to enjoy the last day.

By the time I was on the shuttle the third day, the dryness had gotten even more severe, and I could not swallow. It was getting worse and worse and I started getting into full panic mode. I could breathe, but it got to the point where I absolutely could not swallow anything except forcing a little bit of water. Again I was trying not to panic because I have horrible anxiety..

Got to the hotel and looked in my throat and there was literally no room, I've never seen my throat so swelled. Every time I tried to swallow I started getting a shortness of breath and it might have been the anxiety but it got harder and harder to breathe.

Me and my boyfriend stayed up for hours trying to stay calm and figure out what was wrong. Honestly, I probably should've gone to the hospital but we were both a little too freaked out to go there in our condition. Hours out my throat did not get any better, but eventually I forced some Benadryl down (idk why we thought that would help) and I eventually fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later thinking it would be completely gone, but it wasn't. The rest of the day it would seem to get worse and I thought it would happen all over again, and then it would subside. Eventually the day after that it was gone completely.

Probably a dumb story but it honestly really scared me and I have been terrified to roll ever since. Was wondering if anyone knew if this could be an effect from the pill or maybe it was just the dryness/dehydration from EDC? (even though this was my second year and the weather was much better this year)

If anyone has any input it would be much appreciated thank you!!

you should definitely have gone to a doctor when that happened. it's impossible to diagnose over the internet and a specialist would probably have known what it was right away with one single glance. it could have been an allergic reaction (so the benadryl could have been a not so wrong choice after all) to anything you put into your body that day (could be the mdma, some dye in the pill, something you ate, something to drank, ...).
 
It could indeed have been an allergic reaction to something. (For what it's worth, it's not a known reaction to MDMA so far as I'm aware of.)

Whatever this was, it might have been something that could have killed you if it had gotten worse.

Never be shy about going to a hospital if something strange and troubling happens while high. Most of the time the user turns out to just be paranoid/having a bad trip, but sometimes it's serious; even life-threateningly serious.

Don't take chances with your health. When in doubt, see a doctor right away.
 
Sometimes a bit of information that you don't think matters turns out to be very important. If you must, lie to your parents, lie to your priest, but never to the emergency room doctor!
