Too much MDMA: Serotonin Syndrome or something else?

Hi all,

I used some pure MDMA few days ago.... It was all in powder... so first I took it by dipping a finger in it and licking my finger (few times)... and then about 2 hours later I took some more by the same method.

So I was rolling pretty hard when all of the sudden I started to feel strange... It's kinda hard to describe... I felt as if it was all "too much to handle".. as if I taken too much of MDMA. I felt weird and confused on some moments... Also some of my muscles were twitching... I got all kinds of paranoid thoughts right away, because I have been reading about Serotonin Syndrome... On some moments I was feeling like I'm losing my coordination and balance, but still managed to stay on my feet. This all lasted for about 10-15 minutes and after that I slowly went back to feeling good, and after that I started to come down from MDMA.

So my question is: what the heck happened there? Can this be Serotonin Syndrome? I mean can you go back to feeling all right after Serotonin Syndrome or not ? I have this weird feeling right now that somehow I messed up my brain... and I'm having this fear of having a seizure in the future.

I'm not going to do any more of this stuff ever again because honestly it scared the s*** out of me.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
 
maybe you did take alot , and im pretty sure that was your peak ..
i had a very similar experience to yours.. i dont know what you may call it but pretty much what happened to you..but more intense
i was at a festival and had too much of a really good strong pill (tested , very strong results ) i took about 2 n 1/2 (im a girl thats pretty skinny) and when all those pills hit me , i was outta it .... i started shaking my legs where NUMB,i was losing coordination ,my eyes where also shaking really hard i was hot i was thinking crazy stuff like i wanted to jump off the ledge into the water (it was by a little rive ),that it was too much and that i was gonna die!! i took way too much i was a rookie and being stupid JUST LIKE YOU lol .. thank god my bf was there and he is very experienced and walked me through it , he got me ice so i wouldn't eat my lips and also put it on my body to cool off , laid me down and talked me through the peak it only lasted about 10-15 mins and after i felt AWESOME and then came really down

i was scared as shit after that i freaked out , but about 4 years later and lots of rolls after , i know wish i could get that high i would obviously handle it differently, but i was rolling HARDDDDDD lol
and i have never came across pills that strong again it was also my b day that day , so i guess i was being wreckless..

dont worry your fine .. dont let your mind freak you out , you have to get over things as such and learn from them.. dwell on it see were you went wrong with dosing and next time you know better.. btw your brain is fine!

Thanks a lot for your answer Monkeybizness.

On a side note, I am pretty sure that I did not take more than 150mg of MDMA.
 
nah serotonin syndrome is just that, a syndrome. this is merely a body reaction to the chemical that luckily went away in a bit. i have experienced what you have that lasted for days and would call that an OD but in this case i just think your body reacted oddly
 
Serotonin syndrome would likely be affecting you still- it apparently feels similar to being poisoned. Severe, intolerable nausea is one of the most common affects, a long with disassociation and shivering from your body no longer being able to regulate body temp. It can be a life threatening condition, so if you truly are concerned, you should see a doctor.
 
Thanks all for input. It is true that I have history of anxiety and panic attacks... however, how is it possible that in the middle of "rolling & feeling good with no anxiety" I suddenly start feeling as if I'm gonna lose my life or something?

Also I forgot to mention, I did not feel the need to vomit or anything.

I am feeling OK now, it's just that I Have a mini-obsession with all this and I want to know what really happened. My thinking is that I may have taken too fast all that MDMA, that's what caused it all.
 
i think it was just a strong come up-- maybe he dosed to high .. if and when you take alot you will get really fucked up especially when your a new to rolling ..the high was to much or intense at the moment . not many ppl can handle feeling extremely HIGH.. common iv see ppl freak out on weed lol..

you don't feel anxiety for the same reason adderall doesn't tweak everybody out

how much exactly did you take? cause when i finger licked my bags i was at about 2gs over the course of a few hours

i agree with above usually when you eat 400+mgs at once you barf then trip ass
 
^ it happened to me on may 6th i felt exactly how you described except i couldnt manage it and blacked out.

yep, that happened to me once too, i dropped a pill i got at a show (it was actually a capsule of brown shard molly) and i didnt feel it 30 minutes later (concert pills always make me thing they're weak) so i dropped another

well, they werent weak, that was probably the best molly ive ever seen/consumed, and i rolled my ass off to the point where i was having a great time, then started to get nervous a bit and boom black out. then i remember walking around searching for a cig and calling everyone i knew to inform them i was "rolling hard"

i took my Ativan and then all of a sudden i was tired, anxiety attack. Although, it was kinda tight cause on MDMA even an anxiety attack has waves of feel good, and its far superior to having an attack while sober.
 
A few weeks ago I was on a night out and dosed about 400mg of MDMA spaced over about 4 hours. I wasn't feeling it too much and everyone else was buzzing and raving hard. For some intangibly idiotic reason I still don't understand I took 3 more bombs with roughly 250mg in each. Luckily I took a lot of antioxidants (Vit C and ALA) beforehand so I at least slightly mitigated the damage I suffered.

About 30-40 minutes later I started feeling like my conscious mind was shutting down, thoughts and emotions started to fade rapidly until there were none whatsoever. I couldn't even form anything more complex than monosyllabic replies. I was also sweating quite madly and my fingers were getting very chilly. My perceptual abilities skyrocketed to the point of sensory overload, which is NOT a good thing when you're in a densely packed constantly moving room and psytrance is blasting your ears off. A chick was on my arm trying to make me feel better cause I musta looked zombified, but I just wanted to get the FUCK out of there. On the walk back fractal spiral patterns started seeping out of the world, I guess that was because of the MDA metabolite. I didn't sleep at all that night and the days afterward I completely isolated myself from the world. My thoughts slowly returned but emotionally I feel number now..

Does anyone have any idea whether this could be related to seretonin syndrome? Or just major neurotoxicity? Lol, just.
 
damn blacked out .. how much did you take tho ? you got nervous also maybe


Justone pokeball. Blacked out from anxiety attack not dosing. I was arrested actually thats what induced it.
Just like op described i started recognizing signs. For me it was "ok im going to jail for drug possesion, ok handcuffs go on" then i started getting dizzy my head pounding then ___boom___ cops are like "wtfs wrong with u kid?!?" all i could respond was "my first anxiety attack?"
-i was released no charges btw.
