What was your bad experience?

[Energizer]

I know this sounds quite morbid and sad etc..but I would just like to know if anyone here has had some bad experiences while flipping?
A "friend" gave me a gold/brown CK one night and said, "Take half, there pretty strong". Of course I didnt listen and scoffed it whole like the drug pig that I am. Anyway, got the the club and after 40mins I felt absolutely awesome! Then I stepped onto the dance floor and began to rock. After 10mins if was getting stronger and stronger. 30 mins later I was hidden in the corner of the club with friends around all around me making sure I was ok. I dont remember much but I can tell you what I do remember is that I couldnt see, could hear and couldnt talk. After 5 hours I came to again and felt like shit. A real friend drove me home and stayed the night and made sure I was ok.
I can honestly say that before I "blacked out" I was fuc*en scared.
Having said all this, I wouldnt mind trying them again, but just take half and I am sure it would be good. Or I am just a glutton for punishment.
Any one else like to share an experience?

 

[Kaister]

Have you tried it many times?
My girl-friend had a similar experience on a very strong pill. For 15 seconds on the same pill I had the same awful fear and anxiety but managed to overcome it. I had never previously experienced anything like it before, but they were a good pill, so I think I know how you may have been feeling. It was good that you had someone to look after you.
I think you should do it again (after a good break), be in a great state of mind and take your friend's advice next time.

 

[dil8dpupil]

yes my experience is under (pink hearts) hahaha
I think you were as bad as me man! LOL

 

[eTARD]

Energizer,
I just thought I'd let u know I had a similar experience on a Gold CK about 4 months ago, except mine wasn't nearly as serious/strong. About 30 mins after dropping I was dancing and all of a sudden felt very light headed. My friends were all peaking too hard to understand that I wanted to go chill out for a while, so I went off to the chill out area by myself. I sat down and for 30 mins I was getting more and more dizzy/light headed. I found some friends and my vision was sorta warped (in a fun way!!!!) and I could barely talk sense (kept repeating myself etc). Once I realised the effects weren't getting any stronger I felt fine and spent the next 3 hours on my ass but having a mad time. Next day I was soooooo unbelievably scattered!!!!
Anyway, I was also told they were strong but ignored the advice. Moral of the story is listen to your "friends". I think you should try half again and you'll probably have a mad time!
Hope u have more fun next time
AJ.
PS. Where bouts are you?

 

[Energizer]

Etard,
I am in Victoria. Yeah, you guys are all right in saying that I should've listened to my mate, but he was flipping so much back then that no one listened to what he had to say. It was my birthday this week so I am in for a big one this weekend. Trying to hunt down some white turbo mitsi's that a couple of friends had last week. I wanna make sure that when I go up that I dont come down for a while. What about you, where you at?

 

[Mr. Horse]

I didnt have a bad experience as such, but it was pretty full on.
It was on agreen CU and I was told just to dump the whole thing for an intense few hours. Yeah, it was intense allright!! All I can really remeber is rushing off my face, not being able to see, my jaw having a life of its own. It was pretty intence. I couldnt talk and I could barely walk.
Some people really like this, but for me it was a bit full on for my liking I think. Its like people who love getting really messy and scared on acid. Its just something I'm not really fond of.
next time will be in halves!!

I've been around quite a few people who have had a pill/s hit them really hard.
And while they were freaked out at the time, the easiest way I''ve found to calm them down was to keep reminding them that they actually feel fantastic, but the problem is their body and mind isn't used to feeling this good, and it seems unnatural, so therefore your body/mind swings into protection mode and trys to make you feel shit (often too I've noticed they feel like vomitting, not so much from the usual 'acidic' feeling, but more from the apprehension.)
So keep telling them that its fine to feel like this - that's the whole idea - to be this high, and that they are indeed luckly, because not everyone gets to peak as high as they are.
Pretty soon, after constant reassuring at actually how good the feel, they soon come round, realise just how unbelievably fucking good they feel and they have a huge night.
I've only ever had two bad experiences, and it wasn't from e - something I thought was E. Now I've got my kit, nothing like that's going to happen to me, or indeed those around me.
Cheers,
Bent

i haven't exactly had one of those scary experiences caused by something i took but i did have an unbelievably upsetting night a little while ago which was e-related.
i was at party, peaking off my nut on the dance floor in my own little world, happy as could be & my recently ex-boyfriend (before he was an ex) who was also on e lost it completely. i'm talking paranoid, delusional, psychopath who i did not recognise through all the insanity he displayed. i was too dumb-founded to speak for little while.
eventually we sorted it out (of course, we did break up a few months later) but the memory of my inability to help the situation at the time still haunts me.

I had a very bad experience early last year on what was suposedly a Blue Rolls Royce. I had been pilling for about a year at the time. Me, my boyfriend and my best friend were at home and decided to drop and then see if we felt like going out. We got them from a new source, so we were a bit hesitant. We were sitting around my table umming and arhhhing whether to drop, and I said fuck it I'll go first and took the thing whole (I usually took in halves). About 45 mins later, everyone bar me was very tired and went home. After they left, I started feeling very scattered and couldnt stop moving. I cleaned the whole house including vacuuming, and then I just started laughing and couldnt stop. I knew something was wrong then, so I called my friend who was at home and told her I didnt feel so good, she got real concerned when I started talking on and on about catching some bus to Glasgow and especially when I just wouldnt stop laughing. She rushed straight over and found me lying on the floor, with the phone still in my hand and my face a pale blue colour. She considered calling an ambulance, but thought she'd see what she could do first. I started going crazy. I walked outisde on the main road without looking and hit my head on my neighbour's brick fence. I kept telling her I was in the holocaust, and all I saw was sick, dying people. It was just awful. The whole thing apparently only lasted about 14 hours but for me it felt like years, literally. I kept asking her "when is this gonna end, please make it stop", and she kept saying "dont fight it". It was the worst experience of my life. My boyfriend also came over and he was in shock seeing me like this. Neither of them had any of these effects, even though they took a whole one aswell. I have described my experience to other people, and they basically said it sounds like what I had was a trip, a bad trip. For a long time I was very scared to touch anything, and now I still dont like taking pills that no one I know has had before. But I guess its the risk you take.
Just thought I'd share my experience. Has anyone had something similar happen to them?

ergh... rehashing my epic stories AGAIN from saturday night (whoa that was a hardcore night)
I have had three bad experiences on E. Two were attributed to hellishly strong pills and the last was due to my favourite pet peeve aggro drunk people.
The first one was off my second ever pill and was one of the blue optus pills from ages ago... I thought I had been sold a bunk pill cos it was taking ages to come on and my mate was already rolling off his tits on some other pill. He figured he should avoid me cos it will make me feel bad to see him rolling off his tree when I get the bunk pill so he sodded off and left my by myself. So I was understandably pissed off and danced my tits off for a while... so my heart rate went through the roof and my body went "here have an absolute pissload of eckie all at once". So I flipped out, I couldn't see anyone I actually knew so I dropped into pure PANIC... it sucked ass all these bad thoughts start gettin into your head... not a nice experience but some friendly people came and helped me out... thank you angels!
The second one was just a case of emotional overload off really strong pills... everything that was happening in my life sort of flopped it's way out... but that wasn't too bad...
The final one is my most often told EPIC STORY... hehehe... Science Fiction for new years eve this year just gone. End of the night... pleased with the way the evening had gone and I was going back in at about 10:00ish to collect keys and stuff off a couple of mates that were still inside. A mate and I wandered throught the joint to the outside arena and chatted to a group of guys... A guy came over to me and asked me "you think you're funny huh?" I look at him and think okay this guy is just having a go at my hair (bright orange at the time) next thing I know I've been spun round backwards by a swift uppercut to the jaw... man this boy could PUNCH! My brain trickled outta my ear and all elements of togetherness left the building... severly fucked up. Oh well that must be the fifty thousandth time I have told that story...
take care people and stay away from scary lookin drunk guys... they hurt!

[eds-hed]

nix- ohh thats sounds scary
sproing- fuck I hate drunks
only really crummy experience I have had wsa the night after eptas 20, I had a fucken awesome night and morning...then I had to work at coles from 3pm til 11 *gah!* anyway I got home totally exhuasted but I thought I'll have a joint then crash for a day or so.... 'bad idea'

the spliff kicked every thing from the previous night back in, I started to freak out lying in bed with all these weird thoughts running through my head at a zillion miles and hour, so I got up and watched some bike racing on telly, luckily my flatmate was still up, he was kinda like an anchor to sanity. The feeling passed fairly soon but I think if I had been left alone it would have been a lot worse.

 

[Leprechaun]

Well my worst experience is that on ACID. Although nothing is really ever bad in my eyes, I cannot imagine what could of happened if there were keys in the car I was in! AY!!!!
ACID - First time, at a rave with some cool friends. I loved it at first and then things got interesting, I was talking to a lovely stranger and she told me "You can do anything you want" So hey!! I was in a DREAM! No, I really KNEW I was in a dream. And in a dream anything I want to happen will happen! So interestingly enough I said, I want to be in Tahiti. I babbled about Tahiti for about 30 minutes and then went out to a strangers car and scared the crap out of them by starting it. (Sorry

) Next I maintained that all I wanted to do was die happy, and that it didn't matter anymore!!! AY!!!
So I walked up and down the street thinking this was a dream and that all the cars where mine because I had worked my whole life for them!!!!!!!!!!!! AY!!!
I tried to smash a car window, I threw my license and wallet to the ground!! In the end my friends got me home, and I cried in front of my mum still tripping balls. I spent the rest of the night trying to sleep!!!
Well, I learn't my lesson. Now I know what to do when the psychedelic mind altering drugs begin to take hold! Rememver " YOU ARE NOT IN A DREAM!! IT IS REAL! ".

Have fun and respect all.

 

[Bent]

Nix - no shit the first of only two bad pill experiences (and I have more than a few experiences under my belt) was from a "blue rolls royce".
Piece of shit made me completely flip out - thought I was never going to come back from la la land, thoght I was going to die.
What a way to spend NYE '99 - sitting in a toilet cubicle, flipped of my nut, scared as shit.
That's why I bought a tester.

 

[DoC]

well for me the harder they hit the more i like em, the ones that hit me like a sledgehammer, have my eyes rolling into the back of my head and my jaw chattering like a maniac are the ones I love the best

 

[soulwatcher]

The first time I rolled which was NYE this year, I started with a half of a pill, then took another half an hour later. Since I was eagerly waiting for the damn thing to kick in, and we were in a bar with AC so my heart rate/body temp was normal, it was taking ages to kick in. So my buddy hands me a whole Mitsi(awesome pill) and tells me to take it, figuring the first was a dud. So of course 1/2 hour later, it all hits at once, 2 pills worth, and I black out as I am walking out the door, hit the concrete face first, cut myself up real nice, come to to my friends talking to me. I was fucked up, and the feelings were sooooo intense that it scared the shit out of me. First time and I rushed hard as fuck...not a good combo. My friend told me to throw up and Id feel better, so I did, and then had that first E experience that opens your eyes and changes your world. But that 20 minutes that I was peaking so hard, freaked me out.
another time, combo of good mdma and very strong crip bud. I dont smoke, and probably smoked a whole blunt by myself over an hour, next thing I know Im seeing strange shit, whole body is buzzing, cant focus my eyes, had that wicked time lapse happening, shit was morphing into various shapes in front of my eyes, anxiety kicked in, im lying on my tile floor trying to make it all stop freaking out, and my girl was experiencing the same thing so she wasnt much help. Finally took a prozac and it ended the bad trip I was on. And realized why I dont really smoke pot all that often. *shiver*

 

[Milkybar]

My worst e was an FBI last november. Dropped, felt sick, stomach cramps, went to the toilet about 60 times, felt all weird and trippy, lost about 3 kilo. Monday I felt fine though, so apparently my body succeeded in purging itself of whatever was in the pill that it didn't like.

 

[funkE waynE]

yeah i lost the plot a couple of weeks ago,im in syd,had a green cu that absolutely fucked me,i should have known i was in for trouble,i dumped at home b4 i left for the city,called my dog in ,not by her name ,but by a suttle "woof",

,luckily my 5 friends were there to point that out,as i was driving in to the city my eyes were rolling into the back of my head and my left leg had an uncontrolable wobble,which made driving all the more difficult,i managed to attain pole position right next to imax cockle bay wharf,i was meeting friends at the casino,so i hid all the shit in my car,stereo,cd's,neons,recreational chemicals,strobe etc,spent half an hour checking and double checking,left the car ...walked about 100 m's ,realised ,not only did i forget to put the alarm on,i left the door wide open,i sat back in the car,my jaw was shaking ,my legs were shaking,my chest was tightening,eyes rolling blah blah blah ..i threw up ..it was fucked.i called dil8dpupil,i did not want to be alone,yet i did not want to be in public,i woke her up,asked her to talk to me and tell me a story so i could just listen ,i asked her on a fucked scale outta ten ,what would i rate?...she said a 5,after a few minutes that was upsized to a 8,the friends i was meeting at the casino,were worried and came to visit me,with some company i snapped outta it,a lil bit,i was back in control,auto-pilot was back online. My friends called dil8d to tell her i was ok and not to worry, i was ok for the night. The moral of the story is ITS ALL GOOD!!

At the Tom Wax gig at the Palladium earlier this year, as I was dancing away to the unreal music, I all of a sudden experienced the most intense paranoia imaginable. Everyone was after me - the people dancing around me were making fun of the way I dance, and were bitching about me and following me where ever I went. It wasn't nice at all - I couldn't get away. I kept "recognising" the same group of people, although I think it was just the pill making everyone look the same. I thought they'd think I was just being stupid and so I didn't tell any of the friends I was with that I was seriously flipping out.
When I finally did tell them what had happened they did say I'd been acting a bit strange that night - dancing like a maniac, but not seeming to enjoy myself (well, nuh!).
My paranoia lasted way into the next week. On the way home I was sure these people were still following me, and so made my friends wait with me around a corner so I could ambush them. When no-one came, I figured "they'd" sussed out what I was doing and were waiting till I moved on. I was sure they followed me home.
The music was so good that night, I wish I could have appreciated it and enjoyed it more. It took me a whole week to come to the realisation that I was just being an absolute pleb and that it was all in my head.
I'm not sure if it was a really speedy pill, and that's what made me paranoid. I've had similar experiences since on pills I know that are speed based, but luckily I've been able to recognise the signs and talk myself out of that headspace, although it takes a while, and I'm not always totally successful.
I've also had a number of experiences, where I feel so good, so intensely, that it actually turns into a negative feeling....I can't move, can't talk, and am physically sick. I don't know whether I'm just afraid to accept it, like Bent said, or whether they're dirty pills or something.
Anyhoo, neither of those things are nice at all. It bothers me that they've both happened more than once.
a.
Oh, on the more amusing side of things, I went out with this girl one night who was convinced that she was Ally McBeal - acting like her, and seeing those silly visual things they put into the show (I dunno, I don't watch it).

 

[Sproing]

DoC... it's all fine and dandy to say that it is the sledgehammer ones you like... but we are not talking about that... I have had sledgehammer pills that have been awesome, but in some situations and given the right circumstances things will fuck up. You must be one of the lucky few where this never happens. But for some people small things lead to huge consequences.
To all those people that have had bad experiences on eckie/trip/cones whatever, it gives you some idea of the type of substance you are dealing with and gives you a bit of a wake up call. I had the same thing happen, I got horribly dehydrated and got seriously sick, not through ignorance but just through sheer buzzyness. I forgot to drink cos I was rolling so hard and afterwards I was chatting with some mates and it became clear that I was in a sorry state of affairs. I had forgotten that the chemicals I was ingesting were somewhat dangerous and this led to my dehydration. So now that I have ranted somewhat I will sum up by simply saying:
"watch what you take, or have someone watch over you cos you're not always in the best state to make judgement calls"
take care people and lets minimise the badness of things huh?

[Mr. Horse]

great thread guys, keep it up. Its so easy to be blinded by ecstasy and not see that it can often be dangerous.
pE@K-a-TrOnIc: those CU's that you had, they are the same as mine. I have a question tho, can you remeber much of the night. The first pill I had, I cant remember shit from it!! They are fully awesome pills, but will take you for the ride of your life. I am gonna be having one tonight, and I think its gonna be in halves!! heh heh heh
