[MEGA] MDMA Comedown support thread - Ch. 1 - New Beginnings

I just want to say, that because of threads like this, I've not abused MDMA. I've tried it a few times but didn'treally feel anything until recently at EDC Vegas. It was amazing. Before EDC weekend I was suffering from moderate/severe depression. After taking MDMA and having the experience of a lifetime, I'm a changed person. I'm happier, less anxious, and feel good about the future. I feel like MDMA did this. I was struggling for up to a year, and now bam. It's gone. I don't believe this is an afterglow effect, as its been three weeks since taking it. And now I treasure being content with life so much, and the words from people who have abused the drug, I decided to be responsible and not take it every weekend. No matter how badly I want to. It will be months before I give it another go, but I can't wait for more lifelong memories :)
 
Just to reiterate, I've been clinically depressed (not from drug use) so all of you who are suffering, I know what you are going through, and I wish you the best in your recovery. By the way stay away from cannabis while feeling like this. It just intensifies the pain. Although, I'm sure it's different from person to person.

I'm glad to hear you had a good outcome out of it. It's great news that you don't plan to abuse & choose to use responsibly. Hopefully this can actually be instrumental in curing your depression.

4 months after my bad experience & I can say a large number of my symptoms have subsided. I am plagued, though, by something that concerns me in regards to my health. It seems like my head just hurts all the damn time. Like physically, it hurts. I cycled through an SSRI already and it alleviated my depression & anxiety, and now I'm off of it. One thing it couldn't cure is my head pressure/tingling. Depending on my stress levels, my head pressure can range from slight tingling to feeling like a concrete block is weighing down on my brain. I have seriously felt like my brain is on fire sometimes. I have actually caught myself on instances hitting my own head so I can focus on a different sensation instead. It's alarming and my doctor didn't know how to treat it. I have found that roughly massaging it for about 2-3mins helps alleviate it short-term. I just don't know what the fuck to think about it & wish it would go away. I've been taking care of my health so much but its the one symptom that just won't go away. Fucking sucks.

I am currently experiencing the EXACT same thing. About 3.5 months in, I havent tried any meds but I have been living a very healthy lifestyle. I have slight anxiety/depression but its not a big deal. The head pressure, headaches, tingling have been hell and I hope it will go away eventually. I'm trying to limit stress as much as possible but it never quite cures it, just brings my headaches from debilitating to annoying.

Ugh. Yeah dude's it's a fucking pain. Glad someone out there is experiencing the same thing. I always feel bothered by it & am never really comfortable unless I'm working out or sleeping. It seems to be always there, and since I'm still working & dealing with school-related stuff, it gets worse throughout the day.

I'm on constant search for a cure to it. If I ever find anything else besides time for it to wear off, I'll let you know. I would say Celexa helped me in the short term with my head pressure, but it returned after about a week into the medication, and it's still there full-on.

I'm now considering acupuncture to see how I react to it. I'm going to make a call tomorrow to the office which provides the treatment and see what I can do. If this doesn't help out, I honestly don't know much about what we can do to help ourselves man. I know another sufferer experiencing similar symptoms and is still 8 months into recovery feeling the head pressure. I've also found another user who is 5 months into recovery and barely even notices his head pressure anymore. Not saying we'll be on the same boat, as everyone is different. I just think it can be a lot harder to ward off than what we may think.

I will keep roughly massaging my head daily to help it out, and will try some neck exercises my doctor recommended. I will call & ask about acupuncture services & see if I can afford them.

In the meantime, I'm continuing my own supplements: Yerba Mate tea in the mornings, magnesium, fish oils, and my mass gaining supplements (i'm on a strict workout routine). All of these can help me be more stable throughout the day, but the head pressure is something else and I can't quite pinpoint a direct solution. Keep in touch with me and let me know if you find anything that helps. Most of what I've been hearing though is that time is really the only cure, but we'll see. I still haven't even tried advil yet.
 
Nah. I feel bad for you guys, it gets better, just give it some time living a positive lifestyle and you'll be golden.
 
Ate 3 pills last nite (more than I planned, but they were weak). Had a weird introspective trip without a rush/major body high, maybe cos it had only been 5 weeks since i'd abused it over the course of a month.
Feeling it today of course .. hoping for a speedy recovery due to obligations. Won't be using again until at least September or October (and that may be the final session)

Anyone know if anti-depression drugs could ease recovery, or cause more harm than good?
Have an Rx for a tricyclic but only took it for about a week since I'm already overwhelmed with drugs & didn't want to further damage my brain chemistry given my recent MDMA abuse.
 
People have had varied reports on using ADs to combat MDMA related problems. I and many others recovered by just waiting it out. Others have tried to wait it out but needed a little help.

There is definitely a stigma against meds in ED, especially SSRIs. However, the choice to take meds is one you should make after weighing the pros and cons and talking to your doctor. I wouldn't take them unless things were really tough.

It sounds like you are not ready to quit using MDMA, I would be careful. There are many people here who wished they stopped themselves when the writing was on the wall.
 
So my doc put me on 25mg risperidol. He related my issues to dopamine rather than serotonin. I've been on it for a few weeks now and am def feeling much better
 
Hi guys! i am on my 3rd month long term comedown experiencing anxiety, derealization and some mild cognitive impairment.

Everyday I experience the same cycle, I wake up anxious, spaced out with some derealization and as the day progresses I end up feeling almost fine close to 100% me at night. In the morning I have social anxiety where is even hard for me to come out of home but then usually after 7pm I feel good again, sharp, quite social and mostly functional.

Then I go to bed, sleep and wake up in the same nightmare again. I want to think that a lot of my symptoms are related to anxiety but i am not shire.


Have any of you guys experienced the same fluctuations and cycles? If yes, have you recovered greatly?

Looking for some help.

Ugh. Dont make 3 of the are post. No that's not crazy. I'm sort of like that. I always feel the next at night. Its like I take half the day to wake up. Eventually it gets earlier and earlier that you will feel better. It used to take me till dinner time to feel better. Now by like 10-11 I'm ready for my day. Still feel all messages up all day. But it doesn't stop me from anything
