Scared/paranoia about having a heart attack after consuming.

So the last few times i've taken ecstasy, the event starts out with me thinking i'm going to die from this drug. A couple of times i had to go into the bathroom and calm down from a panic attack (get scared my heart is racing then it actually does increase). I take it slow with low dosage, then when it kicks in i forget about it and have a good time. I have horrible anxiety and this is happened with marijuana as well, almost like a hypochondriac. My hands get cold easily so i convinced myself something is wrong with my heart and not having blood get to my hands. I feel palpitations/irregular occasionally and convince myself it's my heart. But i've always turned out fine, i exercise regularly too. So my question is how do i create a good vibe going into the event instead of thinking this is the last time i am going to see loved ones. OR the more paranoid side, are my fears something to be cautious about?
 
its just in your head (unless you have a condition already?) its just anxiety from the come up, either dont mess with mdma maybe its not for you? or you need to keep telling yourself that you know youve had mdma before and you were fine and you will be ok this time?

just buy a test kit and make sure you got mdma and you should eventually get over the anxiety.

I used to get a bit anxious on the come up but it goes away with experience, are you new to this?
 
I'm not sure i have a condition, i was hooked up to an EKG after a panic attack with weed a couple years ago(due to low serotonin from previous experiences) and everything was fine. It has been a while and i haven't actually had it looked at, but whenever Doctors use the stethoscope they never comment on anything. I've been occasionally using it for about 3 years. Yeah i really just psyche myself out into thinking something bad/death is about to occur because my immature decision to have fun for a few hours. The last time i rolled was a month ago and i was perfectly fine and felt great the next day, i should be fine tomorrow?
 
id say:

First year of MDMA Use keep it to 1 Use per month
2nd year of MDMA Use 6 weeks up to 2 month break
and after 3rd year Every 2 - 3 months.

IF you want to use MDMA responsibly that is. Lets see if i can keep to it :P


Ive been using it for a year now, I get coming up anxiety that is very strong however my friend tells me that my eyes are all over the place when im coming up.

I guess you just have to think it this way, If you are going to die then you will just die, but thats a slim chance may as well just get on with it and know that shortly you will land in Euphoria land, but i know its hard to ignore it sometimes its a bit harsh lol
 
yeah if its the way you say it is (your health wise) then yeah, try have it and forget youve even had it (easier said than done haha) if your home then put some of your fav music on or if your out take a mate out somewhere quiet and have a chat about anything but the fact you dropped.

try take your mind off it. you will be fine provided you have mdma (do you have a trusted source? have you had the pills/caps before?)

all the best mate, im guessing your in america?

its nye where i m now, 9pm to be exact! im in australia

(oh and ive been taking/abusing mdma since about 2001 and im fine. *not that i condone abusing it*)
 
Haha yeah, i really just don't want to die and would feel like shit for making everyone else around me sad. I just keep having these bad images in my head of rolling hard then having my heart start freaking out (makes me cringe to think about how my parents would feel), aka game over. But whenever i feel it come up, i don't think twice about taking another pill. So i'm accepting the risk because this happens all the time and i think it's my anxiety. And happy New years friend!!
 
well you really need to think if mdma is for you, risk v's reward.

Dont be afraid to say "its not for me" and not do it again.

just be safe and be smart about it. read up and test everything you consume dont ever take the dealers word for it. even if you think you really know them.

OH happy new years dude

I used to be the same way, but once I started testing, it seriously took away all the anxiety I had about taking mystery chemicals. That's because I now I can rest assured that what I was taking. It took away the "uh oh what did I take?" nervous feelings knowing my pill had straight MDMA and perhaps a little caffeine.

I'd say you should be fine from tested MDMA and/or caffeine. Neither drugs are powerful stimulants or very cardiotoxic in reasonable amounts. Perhaps have a beer (or two if they are light, I usually drink heavy dark beer ~10%ABV so I would have one in my case).

It sounds more like a panic attack like you psyche yourself to believe the pills are going to kill you. Knowing precisely the chemicals in them beforehand has reduced this feeling for me. I also have cold hands too naturally, freaks people out when I shake their hand lol.

So basically it comes down to the fact that you consider rolling in order to have a few hours of pleasure is an immature decision that will be met with some sort of punishment down the line?

Deciding to have some fun for a while, through drugs or otherwise, is perfectly acceptable and healthy. Don't feel guilt if you're using responsibly. Using irresponsibly, causing harm to yourself and others around you, warrants guilt.

How old are you btw just curious. I got this like the first time i rolled but after that i let go and just kept my self distracted until the come up passes. It's pretty normal to feel like this, some people just deal with it better. If you must get your self a low dose benzo and take it before you drop, it'll give you a confident feeling and kill the anxiety. You will still roll as hard if you keep the benzo to a low dose, that is if you cannot stand the anxiety. Other wise just man up and take the experience as it comes : )
 
swim had that issue for not him self but his ducky, he tested her BP with a cuff and wrote all the numbers down and did it when sober, realised that they were both fine, ever since them hes been fine while rolling with his duck
 
Hey dude, we dont use swiw here, we know its you. Make it easier for all of us and just say "I"

I am 20, but i started when i was 18. Before i didn't think twice about the dangerous it was causing to me. But now i research for days before the event. I am popping in about 2 hours and will think of all of the reassuring advice you guys gave me. Thanks again, Happy New Year!

Ya just remember MDMA is known more for serotonin syndrome. It's the other shit that is more known for heart attacks etc. MDMA isn't a strong stimulant, it's usually more psychadelic and stimulating like LSD. Caffeine is mildly stimulating too, but I don't think it causes heart attacks in healthy individuals.
