Visual problems aftrer doing MDMA

[burn out]

I did MDMA for the third time on saturday (previous two times were years ago) to see if it could help me with social anxiety and depression. Unfortunately I was depressed when I took it and then did not want the high to end, so I redosed and ended up consuming almost 300 mg over about 8 hours which is the most I've ever taken.

The high was great and revelatory and actually did seem to help me but now three days later I have hppd like symptoms, visual static, minor visuals, objects having a certain green glow to them and other problems.

Is this normal and will it go away? I came on this forum and was dismayed to see how many other people are reporting problems, even sometimes from single uses. I am starting to think this drug is highly dangerous. I have taken 10 strips of acid, multiple 6 gram mushroom trips, several feet of cactus, salvia, smoked mad weed and never had any problems with HPPD in all my years doing psychedelics until one night I take 2 mdma caps. What an awful substance.

Visual distortions are pretty normal after a high dose - it also depends on what you were doing.

Clubbing and staring at the lights, playing online, watching videos in a dark room etc all can cause you to have the static and visuals you mention. The worst is if your using during the day and forget sunglasses - can be pretty dangerous if your eyes are that dilated and its a sunny day.

These distortions will pass though - can take a week or more though so don't stress out too much.

I did use it during the day and forgot to have sunglasses. I am actually starting to feel better now, I typed this at my worst point. I think I'm going to be fine and will probably take MDMA again in the future, although not for a while and only small doses from now on. I am just not used to this type of drug. When I take shrooms, I am always completely back to normal (at least visually) by the third day. Thank you for your response.

I am still a little scared at all the posts about people having long term problems though.

Glad your feeling better, If you take a smaller dose 100 /150mgs is a good dose if your not using that often and then a smaller top up if you fancy prolonging the experience. It is way to easy to just take more and more to keep the feeling going but the longer your using the worse your going to probably feel at the end of the night and for days to come.

I'm often surprised about the amount of posts that talk about the long term comedowns etc, probably down to taking too much, taking something that was not MDMA or forgetting that your going to come down, your going to feel rough for a while afterwards but it normally passes.
