Hi guys,

This post is not just a search for recovery methods, but more so an invite to hear about people who have successfully recovered from prolonged MDMA effects (1 month - a year+). I've heard that positivity is the one of the strongest healers.

It seems that a lot of people who post about their problems never come back to say whether they are better or not. The result is a disproportionate amount of negative threads. Has anyone recovered and was able to use it again (or abstained forever)? How did you do it? If you could go back and give yourself advice, what advice would you give?

Two months ago this chick gave me .2 for my first time ever and I overheated, panicked, sweated hard, almost fainted. Yeah I know, pretty lame. First few weeks were unbearable panic attacks, then came the anxiety disorder and painful depression. Doc gave me SSRI and Xanax. Since using the SSRI, the symptoms have lessened a lot and I don't even need the benzo. Still in recovery mode though. I went to yoga today to cleanse mind and body and during one stretch I lifted my head and felt extremely high as if I ate 6 weed brownies! Not exaggerating a bit. I had to walk out and splash some water on myself and sit for a few. Reminded myself that my brain is bruised and I will get better. Healing is SLOW.

So yeah, any advice is appreciated. Especially regarding the SSRI vs. all natural recovery argument. Success stories are also welcome! Thanks.

i've had quite bad panic attacks two times following mdma. the first time i did nothing, just staying healthy and not doing anything stressful and it took 2 months to go away (and i'd still have a few moments where it'd hit me again slightly in uncomfortable situations in the following months).
the second time i took benzos right away and was completely fine after just over a week. i couldn't sing enough praises for bromazepam in such a situation.

but basically, i think it's still best to not roll when you've had a lot of stress lately, as was the case both times when i had a bad reaction to mdma aftereffects.
 
Look at my post history. You will make it. I went through a real shitter of a long term comedown. Stay positive and stay busy. I know how easy it can be to obsess and spend hours scouring bluelight but that will only make it worse. Get out and enjoy life.

I have not done MDMA again. I don't think I will try it again. I have done other drugs and any exessive uppers bring back the depersonalization for a few hours-days but I am so used to dealing w it it doesn't even bother me, just a bit annoying. It always goes away. I am in the process of limiting myself to only alcohol and ocassional sativa.
 
Dawglaw, I read your posts. Very inspirational stuff thank you. I took some time off of work to deal with this and will use the time to do more enjoyable things, as much as I enjoy skimming bluelight..

It seems like its a long road, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
 
A lot of people have discovered that SSRIs only served to worsen their lingering MD-related symptoms after coming off them, although I'm sure this isn't always the case. I would personally recommend against SSRI assisted recovery based on some of these reports as well as the fact that many who come off long term SSRI treatment suffer from very similar symptoms faced by those going through long term MDMA comedowns. Don't mean to scare you, but would urge you to do a lot of research and make an informed decision. It just doesn't make sense to me when a sober recovery will undoubtedly lead to sustained improvement in emotional/ cognitive well being, whilst going down the SSRI route can potentially worsen what is already an incredibly difficult experience!
 
I've rolled maybe 30 times in my life. i have not dosed in almost a year. I didn't have problems from dosing too high or often; I have had some extreme stress and trauma experiences occur during a couple rolls that made me feel like I had fried every circuit in my brain, and left me feeling like an alien on a foreign planet.

I have gone on a personal journey of sorts, not only to heal the symptoms, but to find myself as a person. I have made many changes, and I am debating on another experience upon the completion of a big project at work. I feel like I have my life back in control, and I have learned that for me, I need to really have a safe and protected environment, and to use great control and respect myself when dosing, as I tend to get a little fiendish.

You can learn a lot from these experiences, if you take the time to reflect.
 
If you want to use mdma again but not suffer the consequences,

I would recommend just really looking after yourself,

take .1g and split that in half, and fill 2 tiny capsules with them.
Take these 20 minutes apart, and you will experience a slightly milder but nethertheless an mdma experience that shouldnt leave you with all the nasty side effects.

Then lastly some other things you can do is take Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Drink blueberry juice, Drink tea/ take L-Theanine. these are all antioxidents/neuroprotective and willl aid your repair.


I know that some mdma users out there though just munch pills and mdma and have no or very little value for their life, everyones dosing measurements vary..

Dude I am totally with this. I buried a lot of things I was unhappy about in my life and one high dose of MDMA exposed everything at the surface. High dosing and temporarily frying myself ended up being a blessing in disguise. Glad to hear you are back in control and respecting yourself. My journey is just beginning.
 
NJ5227- I compeley agree. As shitty as my experience was, it forced me to deal with every possible underlying issue driving my anxiety. I am a much happier and balanced person after doing this. For example, prior to this I could not smoke weed without unloading pandoras box of issues that would freak me out and make me terrified guilty etc - now I can get stoned and just enjoy life. No guilt no paranoia.

I started eating healthy and getting exercise in. I got out of a unhealthy relationship. I passed the bar and got a great job. maybe my life was on the edge and the MDMA shattered it and forced me to rebuild from the ground up- who k ows.

I would never advise someone to get a bad comedown to improve your life but when I was given a big ass full of lemons I did what I could to make the best of the otherwise shitty situation.
