Hi everyone,

Posting here (for the first time so sorry if I did something wrong unknowingly) anonymously (at the moment ig) as I’ve been trying to understand what (exactly) might have happened to me for over two years now. In March 2022, I took what was sold as MDMA — a pill pressed in the shape of the FC Barcelona logo. It looked like this:

One cut in half and one full pill photo (imgur link, hope that's k)

⚠️ Timeline:

Took half a pill on the night of March 23, 2022

First 2–3 days: felt normal, nothing seemed wrong

Around Day 5, had a severe panic attack

Soon after, a strange set of long-lasting symptoms began — and they've never fully gone away



---

🧠 Symptoms Since:

Constant background anxiety

Heart palpitations

Excessive thirst and frequent urination

Skin looked paler, less vascularity

Possibly muted colors visually

Major cognitive slowing — trouble thinking, forming thoughts, speaking clearly

A strange internal emotional numbness

Like my brain stopped producing certain feelings I had known my whole life


I can’t even fully remember what it used to feel like before this. It’s like some emotional or neurological “channel” shut off, and I’ve been disconnected ever since.


---

❓ What It Was Supposed to Be:

Sold to me as MDMA

No test kit used (I know — major regret)

Taken in Eastern Europe

Pressed pill looked very clean and professional



---

💊 What It Might Have Been:

I’ve looked into possible research chemicals, but none fit perfectly. I’ve considered and mostly ruled out:

6-APB / 5-APB

NBOMe

MDAI

PMA

Mephedrone

Methylenedioxy analogs


But none explain the delayed symptom onset, the permanent-seeming change in baseline, and the very specific loss of inner sensation and emotional resonance.

🔍 Why I’m Posting:

To warn others: these Barcelona logo pills might still be out there

To ask for insight: has anyone experienced something similar? Or know what substance could do this?

To leave a record: if anyone else is searching for answers after taking one of these, I hope this h

Thank you for reading. Any ideas — even speculative ones — would mean a lot.

This text was put together in co-operation with AI, it's checked by me ofc.
 
Well there are things like 3-CMC, 3-chloro or 4-chloro compounds that are sometimes sold as non chloro compounds.. and some of them are neurotoxic to serotonin neurons. Try searching for that here or reddit etc. see if others report something similar happening. Scary shit.
