Serotonin Receptor Damage - Major Depression - Please help!

[Charlotte8]

Hi everyone, I am suffering badly (and I mean badly) from serotonin receptor downregulation/damage after taking MDMA pills - possibly with speed in as well.
I am here to try to find a solution as it has been 5 years now since I've been clean and I am still seriously depressed and suffering with 24/7 hallucinations.

Before taking MDMA (which I was on for 9 months) I was a highly productive person, I now find it an immense effort to cook for myself. I cannot enjoy anything and to be honest every second I am awake I am in hell.

I have tried taking zoloft and tianeptine after hearing that they could help upregulate serotonin receptors. Tianeptine made me a lot worse, zoloft made me feel slightly better but when I stopped taking it (after 3 years) I went back to the way I was before - so it obviously only temporarily masked the problem and did not cause any noticeable up-regulation.

I am currently trying inositol but I am just guessing the dose as I have not been able to to find a reference for the appropriate dose.
The only study I can find on inositol upregulating serotonin receptors is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8131066 but since I don't have PUBMED access I can only see the abstract (which doesn't list the dose used.)

Could some nice person please send me the study so I can find out if the dose I am taking is right?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - I am really suffering badly every day with this.

Go to a doctor and tell them everything

Talk to a doctor, random people on the internet are not qualified to diagnose you.

It is less likely that you have "serotonin receptor damage" and more likely you are e.g. schizophrenic and the MDMA just triggered it.

Either way, keep taking to doctors & therapists until you get the treatment you need.
