Standing up and blacking out

[filayellow1]

On Saturday night I took roughly 350-400mg of MDMA. Sunday I felt a bit rough but nothing too bad. Today was the same and I felt fine.

Just about 20 minutes ago I stood up, went dizzy and blacked out and fell to the ground. This is the 2nd time this has happened 2 days after taking MDMA. I'm just wondering if it's related or not and how it happens, as I have stood up too quick and got a bit dizzy loads of times but I've never fell over.

I've personally seen that happen with stimulants (although the stimulant in question was methamphetamine, not MDMA). My friend snorted a massive line, then blacked out, swayed on his feet for a second, before collapsing on the floor. His head narrowly missed a bookshelf as he fell...it was pretty impressive.

Could be related to blood pressure or glucose levels. I think those are two of the most common causes of fainting. So like someone who faints at the site of seeing blood that's blood pressure related and someone who hasn't eaten for a while and faints is glucose related.

I think if you stand up too fast the inertia of the blood causes the pressure to drop slightly and can result in dizziness.

This is indeed a blood pressure issue, I recommend exercising if this doesn't improve on its own in a couple days. For about 4-6 weeks there is reduce bloodflow to the front part of the brain after MDMA use. I'd say start with some long walks in a couple days if you feel up to it, and of course eat healthy well-rounded meals. A multivitamin is also a good idea.
