Hello all,

I really hope somebody can offer me some advice.

Whats happened so far:

6 weeks ago I started getting a cold, normal sorts of issues. Cough, sore throat, etc. I continued to party every weekend and would generally feel better by Fridays before going out and getting drunk and taking mdma on the weekends. This carried on for 4 weeks, 2 weekends ago I was feeling super shit but still went out. Didnt drink a much but took some md raved and took some lemsip max tabs. I felt fine when I got back and smoked 2 small spiffs. Went to bed and woke up feeling odd. I had a really bad comedown and had for the first time a mild panic attack and anxiety issues. I went into panic mode and decided to quit smoking weed (which i have smoked for 10 years). My cold returned the day after and I still felt super sh1t from the md the day before. I went to doctor and got some amoxcilin anti-biotics for my cold issues. They thought it was sinusitis. My panic attacks and axiety got worse for the next few days and I noticed my pupils were dilated more than normal. I put this down to the quitting of the weed and the anti biotics. Its been 11 days since then, i stopped taking the anti biotics 1 week ago, my cold has gone but I still have pupil dilation issues and dont feel myself. I am worried about Serotonin syndrone. Is my serotonin too high or too low? I am struggling to get to sleep and have a bit of a numb left arm and tingly fingers. Is this all just withdrawal? 2 weeks of dilated pupils cant be right... I have cut out caffeine and been exercising lots

Please help, really worried
 
90% chance you're over thinking it and making yourself sick. Panic and stress manifest as the symptoms you described and that could easily be the explanation - paranoia and stress.

But the thing is - I have no idea since I am not a doctor and/or know you and your circumstances. Hence: go to the doctor if you are worried! Demand tests! Psychologists! Whatever you feel you need.

Or try to relax.

And by the way, you can not use pupils as reference to your health. Even if you chart the diameter or your pupils every day in the same conditions (light, food, sleep etc) size of your pupils will for sure be effected by tons of other things inside and around you. So: try to chill.
 
Get to a Dr. Better explain your situation. Even explain your ABUSE of MDMA. I doubt you have SS, otherwise you would have probably already hit up the ER. The numb/tingly arm thing does bother me a tad tho' because that could be related to more serious issues such as diabetes.

Live a more positive lifestyle. Life isn't like an episode of skins. You can't take MDMA whenever.

Be careful and report back after you visit a doctor.

And remember, be honest. Doctors won't judge you, and if they do it is silently.
 
Guys, thanks for your replys. I eventually got to sleep around 3. It could very well be stress and thinking I have a SS but concerned about my generally pupil size after 2 weeks. My heart also races and it seems to get worse when I lie down and try to sleep. Sometimes my brain still feels like on I still on md for a second. Am going to see the doctor this morning.

Will update with the response.
 
I've experienced the left arm numbess and tingly fingers after a night rolling at a festival and also had a strange hangover that day but I was fine after a few days! Just stay positive, eat healthy, exercise and relax about it - you've done no permanent damage and it will go with time. After a period of MDMA abuse, like yourself's, it is not uncommon to experience anxiety/panic attacks. MDMA is not a drug you can use weekly - its recommended that you should only roll once every 3 months, however, if you don't think this is plausible - once every month is the minimum to avoid the negative effects your experiencing. I can vouch for a 3 month break - the experience is extremely powerful and so much better than a month's moderation with a lesser comedown. I'd highly recommend 3 months in between - everytime will blow your mind.
 
You know what else makes your heart rate go faster and your pupils dilate? Adrenaline.

Try to calm down and stop freaking yourself out. Focus on well-being, like making sure you've eaten something wholesome recently, that you're well hydrated, etc. Take a nice bath or whatever it is you find relaxing.

When I've had post-use anxiety eating a good meal really helps to ground me.
 
Okay, went to the doctor and no surprise- I am fine! All my vitals checked out okay and the dilation in my pupils is down to adrenaline. Thanks to all that posted my reply and hopefully if anybody else has similar symptoms they will find the solution quickly here and not much such a fool of themselves.

Withdrawal from a 10 year weed habit with a bad md comedown has been tough to say the least. Thanks for your advise in regards to MDMA although my usage was quite frequent I was only using small amounts. I have learnt my lesson the hard way and wont be getting myself into this situation again.

My anxiety still comes from time to time but will focus on eating healthy, exercise and waiting for my body to repair the damage I have caused. I have been trying green tea which seems to have helped and fresh juice. I will look into vitamin b complex. Any other tips would be appreciated....

Thanks again!
 
i think i know whats up. did the lepsid max or whatever contian dxm or did you ever take anything that cotained dxm before your roll? i made the same mistake and gave my serotonin syndrome. worst couple month of my life. nothing to freak out about, just excerise, eat well and you WILL feel better sorry for the shitty spelling its late <3
 
Yes! finally this explains alot!! Lemsip max does have DXM in and I took loads on the night with the MD. I guess I was lucky to have a mild case of serotonin syndrome. This maybe relates to my pupils not responding correctly, they are still not right. I am feeling lots better but still not myself. The anxiety is slowly going....

Is there anything I can do to aid recovery?

JakeJake thanks for your comment here, its put my mind at rest to a certain degree.
 
Excercise, get out in the sun, and eat food that helps naturally boost your serotonin like turkey or seeds. Those are the three best ways you can naturally rebuild your serotonin. Also, just so you know, using MDMA every week is WAY too much. The reason that you had such a terrible comedown was most likely linked to the fact that you took it too often while your body needed time to recover. Many users of MDMA have experienced a bad comedown at one point, and usually it's just because you really overdid it. You're going to be feeling 100% again in no time.
 
Thanks rolllinlikeroyce, been doing all these things since it happened and been getting better day after day. Lesson learnt regarding the mdma, things got wayyyy out of hand and will never be doing that again! Never felt so bad in all my life!! Guess it could have been a lot worse, it must have just been a mild case of SS but still was not fun and if I ever take mdma again it will not be for 6 months at least. Scared the shit out of myself.

Thanks again for all the advise. :)
