Ecstasy related problems

[helpworld14]

So about a month ago I went to a music festival and took E. I have done this drug about 5 times before and have always had a great time with no effects lasting more then a few days after. About a month ago I believe that I took too much because at first it was amazing but then turned into overwhelming. There was a point where I hallucinated a bit and was really anxious the rest of the night and felt very brain dead. Well ever since then I have been having some weird health issues. First of all every time I smoke pot now I get incredibly anxious which I have heard happens to people after something crazy. This is weird to me because I used to smoke a lot. Also recently I have been getting really tired and more then that I often feel incredibly out of it, like its hard to see and I feel like I might pass out at any moment. This happens to me at work a lot which is bad, but I literally feel like I'm not in my own body and I'm just going through the motions because I already know how to do them, I'm not actually thinking. I do work a lot and go to school so I realize this could be me exhausted, but nothing has changed in my routine for a long time, except things got weird after that one weekend. Does anyone know anything about this?  Or have any idea? Ive been to a doctor, I'm not anemic and I'm not sick according to all the tests, but I just don't get it. Please help, Thank you!

I went for about 2 year through college where I did about 20-30 pills of E a week. It was definitely a **** shoot as to what sort of stuff you were going to get. It absolutely messes your body up physically and depletes your happy juices. Anyone that has taken it will tell you the day after is no fun. You feel depressed for no reason. Mentally there were some minor side effects. Even to this day I still find myself struggling to be as sharp as I was before binging on the stuff. Give it time and your mind will rebuild itself. Stay away from any other types of methy stuff like aderol, vivance, etc.

Your paranoia from smoking weed is likely some sort of deep seeded feeling of guilt and nervousness that you may have permanently knocked something loose. Make it a point to smoke and break free of that guilt and I promise you will find your sober self at peace again.

E does not put dime size holes in your brain.....possibly inactive nuerotransmitters....but not holes. Still not good for you............

I used to pop E pills like candy back in the day while drinking like a fish so I'm not 100% sure which of or maybe the combo might've caused issues but I had major issues with concentration, sleep and "spacing out" randomly. Also, when I quit E I was overly emotional... as in sobbing like a small child watching a kleenex commercial on tv.  Anyone know how true this rumor is? That E puts dime-sized holes in your brain? i.e. a block of swiss cheese? Comforting thought eh kids?

Oh, and maybe ist LSD that stays in your spinal fluid or something like that... where's Mythbuster's when you need them.

for 5 years i abused E and mixed it with coke, alcohol and mary jane. i also have been smoking pot for the last 12 years. i went through a little period where i would have anxiety attacks when smoking pot. mostly when i mixed pain meds. E does tear down your body. u never can be sure of the after effects because u really dont know what u r takin. i abused E real hard while i was stripping. it made my job "easier". if u r concerned about the E and anxiety talk to your dr. i hear that E does something to your spine but i dont know how true that is.

With ecstacy you never know what you're getting, because it is always a mix of random things and you run the risk of putting something gross and really dangerous in your system. I had a period where I was doing it heavily and would take up to 6 pills at a time. I was also mixing it with coke, and it just about destroyed my health. I had all sorts of problems for a couple months after stopping. I regret doing it so much, it is SO HARD on your brain and body and extremely unhealthy. I hope you decide not to take it anymore, because it is so risky and you really never know what you could be putting in your system, and run a huge risk of overdosing.

I agree with all the posts here. I'm new and ran into this topic and had to comment as well. When I was 21 years old, I stayed at a friend's house and took E with them. They took the entire pill where as I only took about a half a pill oe less. I won't lie, I did this because I was scared to take any more than this. I'd never smoked pot or anything else beforehand, and I'm NOW glad that I never did! That night, I was almost rushed to the hospital because I thought I was dying because my heart was racing so bad. I calemed down after about 2 hours of trying to throw up, etc. and ever since then, I've had severe panic attacks. Everytime I eat a food I've never eaten before, I have to go somewhere alone and focus on NOT panicing. My doctor to this day feels as though this panicing came from taking E that one time. That one, measely night.

I hope this helped you in your thoughts of never taking this drug again. Everyone is different, I know -- But sometimes it's better off knowing what you're up against than not!

Please keep me posted!

First of all.....how do you even know that you took E? No FDA approved versions on that one - - Do you even know what E is?  Most of those things like MDA and MMDA are just a branch molecule away from a whole gob of weird combinations ....... I have watched Mexican chemists laughing as they poured stuff in a tabbing machine.....Laughing about the Gringo's that will actually take the stuff.  These things can possibly affect you for a very long time. Look up "anhedonia" in the dictionary and hope your nuerotransmitters fire back up properly...... Good luck to you and try to be both smart and safe............

I agree with Sarah e is highly dangerous and can have long term effects I would quit both the E and the pot before something worse happens.

So did you tell your doctor that you like to recreationally use E and smoke pot??  Do you have any idea how dangerous E is??  If you dont stick around this forum and you will find out you are playing with fire.........sara
