There's a lot of worried people on this thread and I have been there with long bouts of dizziness, loss of balance and depression after taking mdma but there is hope....you will recover! I thought I had messed up my brain forever as my symptoms lasted for months but I decided to cut out all stimulants (no coffee or alcohol or cigatettes) and drugs for a year and got completely back to normal after about 10 months. You may feel hopeless at points but stick with a healthy lifestyle and look after yourself and you will heal and recover.

Hi Ant, it's normal to have after effect feelings from pills/mdma for around a week after. Most people don't get the dizziness after-effect but I have several times and it occurs in my experience if you do quite a lot in a relatively short period of time or after doing it for 2 consequtive nights but they do usually subside after a week and even if they persist for longer it gets less intense. If you're particularly worried you might want to try taking 50mg 5HTP before you go to sleep for a week to help return your seratonin levels back to normal. The most important thing to remember is that as long as you live clean and healthy for a while now you will get back to normal. Everyone if different and affected differently by all chemicals/drugs so you at least you have an idea of your own limits for the future. You will be fine...just ride it out.

Been back from tomorrowland 3 weeks now still suffering from dizziness although it has started to get better the last two days and suffering from lack of focus. Took a number of ecstasy pills throughout the weekend. This thread is helping to keep my head up!

Thank god I found this thread, makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only person experiencing these things. I went to a huge 3 day party and took around about 12 pills of ecstacy over the 3 days and was smoking weed almost constantly the entire time. I'm a regular mdma user and take it weekly but never as much as I did that weekend. I understand that it is a huge amount to take and there's obviously other chemicals in pills which could have this negative effect. I wake up every morning feeling fine but with the thought that I could get this dizzy, disconnected feeling any minute. It gradually gets worse throughout the day and then it all goes away in the late afternoon until the next morning. My limbs also feel odd at times as if I can't feel that I'm moving them, even when I am. And my legs almost feel as if they're not there when I walk. Does anyone get those same feelings in their limbs? It's one of the only things troubling me after reading through this forum. It's only been a week today since my stupid drug binge so I understand I could have a long time until I recover. Is it recommended that I not smoke marijuana until I feel %100? I've smoked every day for almost a year now besides the past 2 days in which I've been to scared too because of this feeling of disconnection with everything. Thanks to everyone who's posted on here by the way, it takes a huge load of my mind knowing that I'm not the only one experiencing this, as my friends all are fine now and took the same amount of drugs as me the past weekend.

So relieved... Not the only one out there. But i might be the most severe case here. It will be a long one here, but if someone could write me anything back i would be forever thankful.... really worried:( So, last Friday i went out and took mdma for the first time ever! On top of that, i never had any other drug before and i also never (and i really mean never) drink alcohol. I bought 1 gram (mix of cristals and powder) and took about 0.2 gram from my fingertip and about 0.5 gram with water, slowly drank it within an hour after the initial 0.2. The rest took a friend. I had a very strong sensation that night (mind you, never had any drugs or alcohol before, so it may have been medium or even light, but to me it felt strong), with one highlight being that a few times i would kind of lose focus for 1 second and then get back, and the other one being the fact i don't remember which way we got home (though i do remember everything else, including how i got to the car and got into it, and how i stepped out and got home. But which way we drove... No clue). Next day i was normal, but the day after that dizzy and lightheaded feeling started. No depression at all, only i feel like part of my brain is not functioning. And i feel a bit sick in my stomach most of the time... Please guys, any reply, i have seen that these might be usual effects for regular takers or if you over dose, but it was my first time and 0.7 gram in total shouldn't be that much from what i heard...

Hi, firstly if you took .7gram of pure crystal mdma in one night that is actually a rather large dose =700mg. A strong x pill has about 100-200 mg so you took the equivilent of 3 - 7 ecstasy pills so it's normal if this was your first drug experience that you'll feel a bit weird for several days. Anyway, I tend to feel the brain-power reducing after-effects of MDMA quite strongly for at least a week and notice that my brain isn't firing on all cylinders but gradually recovering for a about 2-3 weeks. It's not about whether you're a regular taker as to whether you get dizzyness aftereffect or not....I had my worst bout of dizzyness after taking 3 strong ecstacy pills over 2 consecutive nights Friday and Sat...got the dizzyness Sunday afternoon for about a week. It's all personal to your brain chemistry and psycological make up but what I do know is that your natural balance and mental ability does return so eat well and live healthy and you'll gradually be back to your usual self in a few days.

would be good to know what chemicals cause this as it seems to me that maybe it causes simply a lack of one chemical/nutrient we need. E.g. many nootropics will give some people headaches and strange feelings, but you can take choline and feel zero side effects...i know those aren't related drugs even in the same class but it must be something like this....for something to last that long is so strange. I have no idea whether its really this, but on taking it I felt like i was going to faint, then 5 minutes later was fine...I felt the best i had done for a while the next day, no come down until a few days later but much less worse than alcohol or weed hangover... but after 4 weeks get this feeling, it comes on suddenly and I feel like i'm going to pass out everything is spinning and temperature going from hot sweats to cold shivers anywhere i go I just want to get out of...feels like either some vomiting or fainting or seizure/heart attack or diarhea is about to happen but never does....and its only when i'm STILL, i can get up and walk miles feeling fine! may be a coincidental stomach virus-doctor said that (i didn't mention the drug), but i wasn't convinced, i've had a wide range of stomach bugs and didn't feel or show itself like that.

Please please someone reply! I'm a 25yo F. I used to take puddle/caps every now and then but not for a year or so. I went to a 2day festival over the weekend and first day had 2 1/2 capsules of MDMA and on the second day had 3 capsules of MDMA and 2 pills! I don't know what was in any of them. I couldn't sleep either night of the festival. The following Monday i was ok, sluggish just tried to sleep/eat! I felt super nausious and dizzy! It's now Friday! I can't go to work I can't stand up my stomach is doing backflips and I feel like I can't fix any of the pain! I don't really know what to do, these feelings have never happened before from taking anything and I'm so depressed! I just want to know I'll be ok! My friends had just as much and all seem to be fine now? Why me. I'm never touching them again!

Hello, On christmas eve, I took a little bit of mdma for the first time and half a pill of mda. I had the worst bad trip ever - i thought i was in a dream yet still conscious and i didnt understand what was hapening to me. Anyway i had severe panick attacks for 2 days, i was forgetting, blurred vision and short temper. My senses were hightened as well, hearing everything double, smells were double. I even at times didnt recognize myself for a mili second and then back to normal and then on and on again. Yesterday i took 1.5mg of lexotanil, and i came back to normal. Today im ok, good mood but still feeling dizzy and somewhat clostrophobic (altho i never was). Its been 4 days already, but reading all the above posts are making me worried that it might last for months. Should i take this 5htp? Any tips? Is it normal?

I took it on Christmas Eve as well, it's my 5th day now. I feel really horrible, the vision is killing me, I can't concentrate. I feel empty and scared inside. I took only one pill but drunk alcohol. Been to hospital yesterday, blood is fine, doctor thought that I have psychical problems, I've been crying there and nearly screaming. Tomorrow is New Years, I'm in bed feeling so down
