Hi, there is my experience. I hope that it help someone.
- English isn't my native language so sorry for mistakes.
- That are not advices what eat or what to do. This is only my experience and I don't know how can react someone else. So don't take it as a guide or something.
On Friday on the end of February last year I was at party where I had XTC (blue Punisher - it should contains about 300 mg MDMA by pillsreport). I had half pill and about 2 hours after I took half from half so I could take about 225 mg. During the party I had a few beers.
Everything was normal, maybe weaker at all and not so much euphoric but not some different or negative.
Pill was probably clear - my few friends had same pills before and that night and after that I tested what remain.
I had first XTC somewhen in 2015 and I was using it once per 2 - 3 months about 100 - 300 mg per night (never more). On summer festivals I had sometimes two days in a row but that was just once or twice maximum per year in summer. From beginning I was little bit more sensitive. I had comedowns very often about 2 - 5 days, in two occurrences about two weeks.
Between last used and what I'm writing was three months and few days. Last party was without comedown. But two month before I had coke (probably 0.3) and booze once and after that I felt strange about two weeks. It's hard to subscribe but it was little similar to MDMA comedown but much weaker.
So I still don't know why this happened. Maybe too strong XTC? Maybe my serotonin level was low? Maybe wrong pill? Maybe alcohol? Maybe something totally different?
Next day I was tired but nothing strange compared to last times. On Sunday I was totally okay which was continues to Monday noon. When started quite strong headaches. From Tuesday morning I was totally fucked but from previous experiences when I had comedown it wasn't so much different but definitely much stronger. After few days it was worse and worse.
First month I had strong headaches, brain fog, brain zips, blurry vision, anhedonia, anxiety, light muscle twitching, strong nausea every morning, my memory was very bad, mood was very unstable and sometimes perceived world very faster. I was clumsy, stupor, without emotion and jittery from people. I had very often dreams and I was very often waking up at night. When I was listening music from headphones, I felt very strange - it was similar to be high but very unpleasant.
I was using vitamin C, magnesium, multivitamin, drank pink grapefruit juice. After few weeks what I was taking magnesium I had new symptoms - stiffing cervical spine and skittish. I found that can be from magnesium. So I stopped it and after few weeks stiffing cervical spine disappeared.
About month later I started with 5HTP. Year back I tried 5HTP once before sleep, morning after my head strongly tangled on few moments so I knew that it probably doesn't me good. I was this time pretty desperate so I decided to try again. Morning after was okay so I was taking it about next four or five days.
About these days started derealization and depersonalization which was totally new and quite crazy. I had it mainly when I was tired. Interesting thing on it was that when I ate some food so DP/DR mostly disappeared. With sunglasses that was worse and very often started that.
I wasn't sure if DP/DR is relate with 5HTP but when I searched on Google: "derealization after 5HTP" so I found out that it is possibly. I don't think that is 5HTP safe.
About two months later I was on neurology where did me EEG - I didn't tell them the truth where is probably cause. But result was that I am on 100% healthy.
Second and third month was maybe totally worst. New symptoms joined to those from the first month. Mainly DP/DR. And new - when someone talk to me and gesticulated made me sick, panic attacks, OCD, sensitivity on light and noise and quick moves (for example even such stupid things like playing videos on the internet) mades me very sick.
Somedays it was better so I thought that will be better at all but after one or two better days it was back. Probably little bit less stronger but still very very bad.
I stayed away from alcohol mostly - hangovers was very unpleasant and with DP/DR.
About fifth month i felt slightly better.
Strange thing is that many of these symptoms I felt mainly morning and afternoon but at night I was feeling very good. When I wasn't in work so I felt definitely better. And when I was on festivals or on holiday where I wasn't thinking about my health status I felt much better...almost health. For example when I searched in discussions about these things and read it so I was starting have headaches and brain fog (yeah, I know how it sounds).
My opinion is that few symptoms I did it myself or made worse how I kept thinking on it.
Until the end of September I had very often blurry vision, DP/DR, stupor and other things what I wrote above. I read about acetylcysteine on some discussion - that is very strong antioxidant and someone using for healing psychic difficulties and DP/DR.
After my experiences with magnesium and 5HTP I was very careful with ACC so I took once per week and observe how my body react on it. It was quite okay. Sometimes I felt little bit worse immediately after taken (probably psyche again) but until two hours maximum I was okay.
I was using one ACC per week and 10 tablet at all. Day after taken I felt better and endured it about 4 - 6 days.
I think that ACC helped me...but maybe it was all coincidence.
At September everything was starting be better.
Now (almost one year after) I'm on 99% ok. Almost all symptoms are gone minimal one month, most of them are gone for few months. Now I'm sensitive on coffee which is still better (but coffee at hangover is still pretty bad) - few months back I had to stop drink coffee because I was very distrait and didn't feel very good.
Sometimes I feel light pressure and stupor in head for few hours (once or twice per week) but that isn't however limiting have normal life. And it's still less common. (If anyone knows what to try for faster healing, I'll be grateful.)
When I drink alcohol now I feel very normal after that and hangovers are as before.
Yeah, I'm feeling very healthy now.
What I tried and if it helped (Which is very difficulty to guess):
Vitamin C - I think that helped.
Magnesium - Firstly I don't know but after few weeks I felt worse so I stopped it.
5HTP - Definitely not helped. I have feeling that made worse.
Acetylcysteine - Definitely helped for me.
Vegetable and fruits - mainly broccoli, blueberries, raspberries (all these have antioxidants) - I think that helped.
Nuts - brazil nuts, sesame (it should be good for brain - memory) - Sesame maybe but after brazil nuts I felt sometimes very strange
Tea - St. John's wort (it should be good for calm and sleeping) - Maybe
Pink grapefruit juice - Maybe
Exercises - After some sport I felt very good but it mustn't drain out
Main is that everything is temporarily. I'm convinced that everyone will be fine but it needed (a lot of) patience and time, saves your body and mainly don't think on it.
Be careful with supplements, everything (especially what is written in internet discussion) doesn't have to be good for you - everyone is different. Stay away from drugs. From my point of view is pointless and very stressful doing every day some memory tests, reading about other episodes, be in this environment and still thinking on it. It needs to let out.
