After Effects (Anxiety, Dizziness) of the drug Molly (MDMA, Ecstasy)

It's been 9 days for me. I took MDMA for the very first time and although my nausea went away for the most part, my vision gets blurry or real sharp every now and then, my muscles are a little weak... And I just flat out don't feel the same. Can't even concentrate. I will never do it again.

I took some ecstasy in Ibiza at the end of last may and haven't felt right since. I only had half pill one night and half the next and a few finger dabs of mdma the night before these two. Don't normally do pills but thought it would be one off while at the clubs. I have done pills about 4 times before with no long time bad feelings. I also consumed plenty of alcohol while in Ibiza with the drugs. I got them off a trusted source, a mate I had known for years who has taken loads more than me over time including more than me on this trip. He said the pills were stronger than usual, a green colour he had ordered from Holland. I remember how strong they were and the head rush sensation the first night gave me. I also lost track of some time. I didn't feel too bad the next day. The 2nd night I dropped half I remember coming up and my eyes were massive. It also took about an hour for the full effect to kick in which makes me suspect it may not have all been mdma. I felt terrible when I got home with what I can only describe as pressure in my head with feelings of numbness throughout my head, mainly on the left side next to the ear. I am unable to sleep properly and awake every night after a few hours. At first I couldn't get back to sleep but this has improved slightly. I had tinitus which has also improved slightly. I also felt terribly depressed an anxious. I was also about to start a new job in a month which also didn't help. I went to the doctors numerous times and have had a blood test which has come back clear, an mri scan of the head and inner ear which has also come back clear. I now have an appointment to see a neurologist for further discussions and tests. I have been taking antidepressants since July SSRI's which have made me feel better with the worry and depression and my symptoms have improved since July but I not gone and I am determined to battle on and find out any solutions. My doctor is baffled and says my symptoms are unusual and I may have to live with it but I hope I feel like the old me again. My advice to anyone is to stay away from this sh*t I took as I deeply regret getting involved. I read stories all the time now of young people wrecking their lives with dodgy pills. We don't know the full content of them or how we will react to them in that one impulsive moment of dropping it when it seems a good idea at the time.

I do everynight after if I play music and chill I feel the affects of the MDMA still! And my eyes start to diolate again

How are people feeling now? I get headaches, dizziness, little bit of blurry vision & dont sleep as well as i used to. Done ecstasy 4 times in my life and on this occasion had 1 pill with alcohol and a bit of weed. Dont feel fully there at all even though i have improved. What can i do to speed recovery up? Will i recover?

Hey everyone, so I had the same sh*t all of you have been going thru..I felt like I was going to die..now I've only been going thru it for about 2 weeks now..but after reading about a magnesium supplement..I decided to try it out..I bought super magnesium which is stronger than just magnesium oxide which is what most supplements are..and after about an hour maybe 2..the anxiety pit in my stomach went away and the dizzy feelings are dramatically reduced..just my .02 cents!! Hope this helps somebody else out

I'm the one who had the pills in Ibiza in May from previous post. Just an update that i started to feel much better and my head feels like it is clearing. I slept right though last night for the first time in months. It has been exactly 6 months of hell but if anyone is going through it and is in a state of anxiety just stick with it and hopefully t will pass.

I've read your post about Ibiza and I've been going through very similar symptoms. It has been 2 months since I took mdma and my life hasn't been the same ever since. I've been following this topic for a few weeks now and knowing that your are feeling better after a terrible mdma experience makes me hope that my anxiety/depression/insomnia will eventually get better over time. Hopefully all of us here can get better and feel like our old selves again. You're not alone man, cheers.

Cheers mate and best wishes to you

Hi guys ive been going through this as well, i started having severe anxiety and went into panic attacks a few times, all results came out great even mri, my doctor recommended i take antidepressants for the anxiety and all in all blueness i have been feeling, check your vitamin d it can contribute, also, i am not sure I recommend antidepressants, i am feeling MUCH better but the medication is getting to me. Good luck to us all, i love you!

Do you feel like the antidepressants helped? Since i started taking them i feel like im on mdma again! Im confused and dont know if i should continue with the antidepressants or not , i am worried about serotonin syndrome, but my doctors are assuring me its very rare, share with me plz im desperate, thanks

It takes a good few weeks to get used to them and for them to kick in properly. Sometimes though it depends if you are more suited to a certain one. I would give it at least a few months before deciding. Also your doctor will bring you off them gradual with lower doses when you are feeling better. I am currently taking fluoxitine since july, also know as prozac. I do feel a lot better now. The only real noticeable side effect is vivid dreams. After mdma your serotonin levels mybe low so the meds could help. There are more people than you think taking these but they would not admit it. Serotonin syndrome is rare and should not happen at the right doses. I would though not drink more than a few alcoholic drinks and i would stay off coffee.. hope this helps

Im 7. Weeks in with. Hearts palpitations. And i Cant Smoke weed nomore. Becuase it gives me. Panic attacks. I dont know wat to do. Ive been. To doctors. Nothing. Theu can tell me

Dont worry, it does get better. This was my post and after around 2 months gradually it got better

Do not worry at all, it took me a while but i can promise u it will pass, i have a bit of anxiety now but im learning to deal with it and bit by bit im no longer feeling anxious, i did go through the panic attacks and never had them again, learn to breathe slowly when ure anxious and u will self heal. Dont worry

Hey there, I've been feeling really down and depressed for the past 6 weeks now. I have felt like I've messed up my brain and can't stop thinking about bad situations:( did you go on any type of mediation ? I've just had my first session of therapy with an amazing phycologist who seems to think I have a bad case of panic disorder aswell as depression but I'm sure it's all been triggered from MDMA use. I just want to know weather or not it's better to ride it out with therapy or better to jump on medication for a short time.. Thanks
