- ate only poultry, fish, salad, nuts, healthy oils and seeds - no junk food, nothing fried, no chocolate and sweets
- ate vitamins (zinc, magnesium, C, B complex, Omega 3 fish extract), NO over-the-counter 5-HTP or other antidepressants although I bought it
- tried to exercise, twice it hurt, third time was great and finished the healing - do some light run, fast walk, I personally played soccer, lifting weights does not help
- met with friends, told them everything, they asked me about how I felt and took me play that soccer that healed me
It's been 8 days, I have drunk 3 beers since and had a joint once (yesterday when I was finally ok), over the healing process, any sooner (before recovery) attempt to even approach alcohol or weed made me feel worse - I had a sip of beer and a toke of a joint - felt 1000 times worse afterwards.
- I wrote to anonymous doctors' and drug-addict clinics where I exactly described what I had done and they assured all I had to do was wait. This helped a ton since hearing if from a doc is quite assuring. Also my loving girlfriend who knows everything was a big help.
I'm not gonna do any drugs that focus on serotonin or dopamine levels ever again

Hey everyone, I’ve been experiencing the same symptoms - was totally freaking out. Def feels better to know I’m not alone! Did 2gms of MDMA over 4 days for a festival. Got home Sunday night, Monday felt fine (just a little out of it). However, Tuesday i had to leave work early bc i started getting brain zaps (which i discovered are brought on by depleting your serotonin). It was horrifying and i thought i was going to die, on top of the brain zaps, i was so dizzy i couldn’t stand and was very nauseous... started having an anxiety attack, went home and slept. Felt a bit better. Took Wednesday off for precautions and I’m glad i did - Wednesday was hell. Probably the worst I’ve ever felt in my entire life, i legit thought i was losing it and scared i really screwed myself up. Yesterday (Thursday) i was still feeling really shitty. Brain zaps, dizziness and nausea were still constant, i couldn’t stand up or even open my eyes without having to puke, horrible headache and feeling completely insane bc my serotonin levels were out of wack.
Sooo this is what i did and i hope this helps bc today, Friday, i am feeling a ton better and i took no drugs to fix anything. I did research and found that eating foods high in tryptophan - salmon, eggs, turkey, avocado, nuts, fatty foods and basically just eating clean will help rebalance your serotonin - bc that’s why this is happening. I bought 5-htp, melatonin, magnesium, potassium, CoQ10, and took LOTS of vitamin C. I actually did an in-Home IV service and got an immunity drip that had alpha lipoic acid -very important. AND STAY AS HYDRATED AS POSSIBLE. Any IV will help, get one infused with nutrients if possible - it was worth the $250.
Started to feel pretty good but brain zaps returned, at this point i mustered up the strength to finally be able to meditate. I know this sounds silly, but guys, i think the meditation is what brought me back. For those of you suffering from this long term, i urge you to pick up meditation! I was too weak and dizzy to exercise but the meditation will help build strength in your brain, rewire it the correct way and it fights depression like nothing else. You do NOT need drugs to get through this. Find a guided meditation on YouTube and start there - i mean, at this point you have nothing to lose. But the refocusing of my brain i think is what brought me back bc my brain zaps magically disappeared after that, i am just a bit dizzy and fatigued still. GOOD LUCK AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!! Stay positive!

7 days later and still can't focus very well, I can see and I can read words etc but I feel like there is a fog over my right eye.
I have pins and needles and rushing in my legs and feel drained and dizzy.
Starred taking 5htp yesterday, which hopefully should kick in and I'm on meds from the doctors for dizziness, after bloods came back fine

Unfortunately, 1 week ago I was out drinking and dancing, and I was gifted a bag with a small mushroom cap in it. I am huge proponent of mushrooms and the size of the cap for me is more like a micro dose. At the bottom of the bag, however, was what appeared to be more mushroom dust. So rather than picking the cap out, I tipped the bag back and dumped the contents in to my mouth. As I was chewing, I noticed a hard crunch, like sand, and the very familiar taste of molly. It had to have been a solid shard of at least a half gram, plus whatever else was in the bag. Jokes on me. The onset was less than 5 minutes. I had enough sense to get out of the crowded club and miraculously walk 4 blocks to my friends apt. By the time he answered the door all effects of serotonin syndrome had kicked in. I experienced body tremors, zero motor control. rapid eye movement, heavy sweats, nausea, it was awful. The following 24hrs were hell and often thought I was overdosing. Every time I stood up I blacked out and fell down. This happened multiple times in the bathroom. By and far the worst experience i have ever had with this or any drug.
A week later I am still nauseous after eating and experiencing dizzy spells. It's a strange dizziness like the way I feel the exact moment I fall asleep but am interrupted by a sound. Words remain blurry and it is difficult to read. Even typing this comes as a challenge. I am sleeping up to 12 hours a day and feel I could sleep more, but forcing myself to stay awake. My emotional response to music and film is so intense and I find myself crying to almost anything.
All in all, I am confident this will all pass, but the past week of symptoms has been trying and quite worrisome. Reading every body's experiences in this thread has been helpful. Ultimately it has been a serious wake up call. I was done with this and all chemical drugs. They are dead ends and pose very serious risks to our well being. Even alcohol is a serious threat. I can only encourage everybody to make the right decisions about drugs and alcohol because it only takes one bad choice to ruin a life.
