Nausea 3-4 days after rolling

[Isolde]

Hey guys. Been a long time since I posted. I'd stopped rolling for awhile, due to being in relationships w/people who weren't open to illegal drugs.

Here's a quick background:
Used ecstasy moderately between the ages of 22-24, no more than once a month, but usually with a couple of months in between. Probably took up to a week to feel "normal" again each time, just the normal side effects though, bit more tired, a little bit blah, etc. Always pre-loaded w/antioxidants and post-loaded with 5htp and more antioxidants. Most I ever took in 1 night was 2 1/2 pills, but it was usually just 1.
Didn't roll for about 3 years, then got a hold of a pure MDMA cap and had a great roll with no adverse side effects.
Fast forward 4 years to now, 31 years old. Back around Memorial Day my b/f decided he wanted to try it, so I got a hold of some rolls, supposedly really strong. I was advised just to start with a half. So did that and took another half an hour or so later. Dosed up a 3rd time at the end of the night with another half. That wasn't the smartest idea, but only side effect was really shitty sleep.
That was on a Saturday night, and on Tuesday, I was feeling really nauseous, so much so that I had to leave work. I could barely move all that day without feeling like I had to hurl, but never did. Was only able to sleep after chewing on some ginger root. Didn't make it to work Wednesday either, but was feeling better by Thursday. I'd never had that kind of a reaction before, and I wasn't sure if it was from the E or if maybe I just had a stomach bug.

Had 5 months off and then rolled again this past weekend. Same protocol with pre-loading with antioxidants (C, E and green tea extract) and post-loading with the same and adding in 5htp. Also pre- and post-loaded with Piracetam. Only took half to start and another half about an hour later and had a great roll. Actually felt good on Sunday and Monday, better than I normally feel actually. Then the nausea set in a bit on Tuesday, but I drank some ginger tea and was fine. It definitely was not as bad as it had been before. Tuesday night I started feeling a sore throat coming on and also had to get an inflamed cyst lanced and drained (SO not fun and unbelievably painful). As a result of all that, I took a sick day on Wednesday, and the nausea hit me like a ton of bricks.

Chewing on a piece of ginger root put it at bay for 2-3 hours, but it always just came right back after that. I was absolutely miserable. Last night I slept for 11 hours and am really weak today, but at least do not feel any nausea yet.

So what the hell is this? Does anyone get a couple of days of feeling like they're going to hurl 2-3 days after rolling? I initially thought that maybe it was the strength of the pills, but I took less this time and am still getting a severe reaction. And I thought maybe it's something that they were cut with, but nobody else that took them is getting this side effect either. Any ideas?

The weird thing is that I never get an upset stomach when I roll, it actually makes my whole body feel great.

I'm at a complete loss and am starting to think that maybe I just can't roll anymore. Before the cost was worth the benefit, and that's just not the case now.

I get exactly the same reaction. Whether it's 1 or 5 in a night, I still get exactly the same feeling of nausea. I also get mild sweats that don't feel too great either. This has only started happening to me in the last year and no one else I know suffers the same side effects. I was searching for posts to see if anyone did share similar effects and this is the only one I could find. I'm inclined to believe that it is something to do with modern pills and something they're cut with. I was told that MDMA is synthesised via a slightly different method now due to limited availability of safrole oil but whether this is true is unknown. Do you also get a funny sort of "waxy" taste in the back of your throat? I never used to but now it seems unavoidable and lasts for a good week.

Stimulants tends to make your stomach over produce acid and under produce the bicarbonate mucous layer which can burn your stomach lining which could very easily lead to days of stomach problems including nausea. The effect is more pronounced if you also add alcohol or tobacco into the mix.

I find 5-HTP makes me nauseous on its own so I wouldn't be messing with that if you're feeling sick. A single super strength Green Tea extract capsule has made me very nauseous for several hours as well - pretty common if reports on Amazon are anything to go by. Piracetam sometimes gives people indigestion as do large doses of vitamin C. Lack of sleep can make you feel pretty crappy too.

So in amongst all of that lot, there could well be something making you feel ill. Also you might have had contaminated MDMA of course.

Another option is that you picked up a mild bug around that time and it has nothing to do with the E. Who knows?

for me i always get about 3 days of felling shitty, pretty close to what a decent hangover feels like. Dizziness, nausea, well i don't really need to go into detail but feels like i drink a pint of vodka.

 

[EbeneezerGoode]

Me too. Come downs used to be laughable. Now I'm considering whether it's really worth it.

I can feel pretty rough for a few days after a session but not anything that lasts that long (and very similar feeling to a hangover). A lot has to do with what you eat / drink, if your not staying hydrated is the most important thing.
