hello everyone!
I'm new on this site and I made an account to better understand psychedelics.

A few days ago, I took some mdma with a friend and he told me he had previously tried it and the pills felt fine, just a tad bit "speedy" and that he puked on the come up.

I decided to try the pill, it was like a half full large gel capsule. The roll was GREAT. I mean... love, peace, tears... yeah i fell in love that day for sure. Towards the end of the roll (like 4 hours later), I started heating up and feeling nauseous. I cooled down and drank gaterade, relaxed and felt better. I decide to drive back home and about 3-4 hours later, I'm unable to sleep and still have severe nausea!!! And I noticed I would stutter random words without wanting to. I smoked a bunch of pot to help with the nausea and I felt a little better. Usually I'm great with molly and peacefully fall asleep with no bad after effects. A few hours later i walk downstairs to make a cup of tea, I sit down and suddenly feel like I'm rolling again!! At first the tingling was nice but then it became uncomfortable, painful... I had trouble breathing, saw light trails, faces on tv were morphed, my face was burning, my heart was going crazy, i couldn't hear well and had trouble walking. I started shaking and blabbering and grinding my teeth, sweating and my eyes rolled in all directions. I felt like throwing up and somehow made it to the bathroom but I didn't puke. I was able to see that my pupils were huge. My stomach was churning and squirming around inside me. My body was on fire. At this point i felt certain that i had SS. I go to my roomate and i'm unable to speak full sentences or stand up. He asked me if i took drugs, I said yes and he gAVE me valium which eventually helped but I couldn't sleep or eat for 2 days and I'm still nauseated 3 days after all this.

Will I ever be able to enjoy drugs again? :( I'm terrified but I do love MDMA!!! I felt like i was dying. I'm quite positive I experienced SS. To give you a little background, the day before my roll I took some benadryl to go to sleep. I don't take any other meds that alter serotonin. I have rolled many times and taken like 8 pills in a night with no problems... what happened to me!??!?!?
 
That is not serotonin syndrome. SS is more like foaming at the mouth and seizing on the ground. It's potentially deadly if untreated, however benzos like vallium would help greatly during the onset.


You took some BAD pills, test kits to avoid taking bath salts (what you took has likely been found sold in "legal" highs before), meth and other nasty chemicals can be found in my signature. Just because you have a good experience does NOT mean it was MDMA, and especially if your friend said it was a bit "speedy" it's very likely that it was adulterated.

MDMA is different from the SHIT you took, luckily you can filter out the good from the bad with a test kit.
 
by the same folk who continually worry about comedowns and anxiety. Folk need to get a grip. Whatever goes up.......COMESDOWN!
 
It sounds like you had a panic attack rather than SS. SS is defined by sudden onset of tachycardia (heart beating super fast like 110> bpm). Best thing to do during a panic attack, is, believe it or not, to NOT panic. Just lay down and wait for it to pass. It sounds like the drug is leaving your body at the minute, give it a week or two and see how you feel however I would suggest not having anymore drugs for at least 3 months, including weed, which for most people increases anxiety and chances of another panic attack. Meanwhile eat as healthy as you can, lots of fish, and get some exercise in while the metabolites leave your body.
 
My legs were shaking uncontrollably ;( it was scary. I'm feeling way better now. My stomach is still a little off though.

SS is a diagnosis thrown around far too much...

Lol I'm sure of the symptoms I was feeling. I lost control of my limbs pretty much. I was waaaay overheated and experienced several SS symptoms, all this many hurs after ingesting the "molly". Could be just a bad pill though.

It was hours after ingesting the pill though and it was beyond a panic attack. My body was tingling similar to rolling but uncomfortable. My heart had an irregular heartbeat and my vision and hearing were both very affected. I was far from functional. I didn't feel panic for a long time, I was confused and felt like I was rolling. Keep in mind, all this 10-12 hours after ingestion of a single dose.

That sounds like a typical piperazine reaction, really.


With Serotonin Syndrome, if you don't get treatment, you could die. Not to mention, you don't just "get" SS... it's typically caused by a negative interaction between two drugs. Unless you're on any other medications or took another drug with the "molly", I have rather high doubts what you experienced was SS.



Regardless, however, life goes on. You'll live, and if you get a reagent testing kit hopefully you'll go on to having some amazing rolls again.


Good luck.
 
I was thinking Pipes also however its against the rules for us to continue that line of discussion.................the fact is that you did NOT get mdma or at least mdma alone.

This is why its so important to test your shit before you use it.

SS............definitely not.
