I'm hoping someone can shed some light. I have always read articles on here but thought it was time to seek some of my own help. I am (what I think) a regular ecstasy user. It's been really hard for me to admit this to myself so please don't be too harsh on me. I've probably been taking about 2-3 ecstasy pills every 1-2 weekends for over a year. Sometimes I will go a month without it, sometimes I will do it a few weekends in a row. I don't think I’m addicted or anything I just think it’s quite accessible for me because my boyfriend and friends have it a lot. I barely have to pay for them - plus we go to a lot of music events and festivals. I dunno.. is this considered a heavy user?

The problem is I get the most awful comedowns - to be expected I know. But sometimes the anxiety makes me want to go see a doctor or crawl up in a whole for a few days. It can last days and comes in waves. Then it will go away and I forget about how bad it was. I always say I’m "going to have a break" but then 2 weeks later I’ll be drunk and ill pop another one.

I just want to know how much damage I could have done to myself? The anxiety and depression usually goes away... but I am pretty worried as I read through other posts. I am really healthy and I am determined to stop doing them... for at least a long time if not forever. I guess what I am looking for is some guidance and advice.

I am actually really healthy most of the time. I exercise a lot and I eat well. I want to know how much permanent damage I could have done to myself? If I am really healthy and keep away from it can I pretty much reverse the effects? I get really worried some times that I have done permanent damage to myself L. I see posts that you’re supposed to wait at least a month in between rolls and here I am doing it every 1-2 weeks. I know how stupid I have been so I really am looking for some help.

Also if anyone could offer some advice on how to stop that would be awesome. I’m not addicted and I will stop but some advice from previous users will obviously be really beneficial.
 
Welcome to BL!!

I think you will be fine once your body and mind gets a chance to heal they ate pretty resilient it's good you actaulky care most addicts don't give a shit whether they live or die just as long as they get high

The sober living section has lots of success stories of beating addiction you can get those forums if you follow this link-

If you want any assistance or support feel free to PM me i am experienced with mental health and addictions. I can show you the way but its up to you to stick with it and stay sober using the strategies taught to you.
 
Hi and welcome to Bluelight :)

yes i would consider your usage pretty heavy and you should really slow down or stop altogheter before you do some serious damage.

my advice is to stop for many months to see how things go (awesome that you are healthy, that helps a lot) and then you can roll again but once every 1/2 months (my advice would be every 3/4 or more months considering your use to avoid very serious issues).

do you test your pills btw?
 
HI fudge 123 I was a heavy E user in the ninety's they were very expensive to buy back then. The problem now with E is it is often not E you are taking IMO there are alot of RC company's on the net that are coming up with new active compounds all the time so you dont really 100% know what you are taking I know there are ecstasy kit you can buy to test your pill so you know you are getting the real Mcoy. But as I dont use E any more I wouldn't know where to get one. i BET if you started a thread about it somone will point you in the right direction. I used to cain pills in my youth and I seem to be ok nowadays much love xx
 
This sounds sort of similar to me; I tend to take MDMA at raves and house parties, but not as often as yourself. I did last weekend, 3 weeks ago and before that 2 months ago (not counting one disaster where the paper wrap ripped coming out of my pocket. FFS!) So I reckon roughly every 6 weeks to 2 months. Depending on what night I take it or how long the session lasts, there is always what my friends and I call "Suicide Tuesday/Wednesday"
I would guess if you're hitting it more regularly, the comedowns will be worse due to the chemical imbalances having less time to balance out.
God it feels shit though!
