MDMA Aftereffects

[Breathe]

Do you all feel an afterglow the days after doing MDMA? I'm thinking of doing MDMA tomorrow and am curious how it makes you feel the days following. Uplifted, or down and depressed (or something else)?

@Breathe it all depends what topic you are processing.

Afterglow can be very nice or brutal.

Depends, if you eat healthy and take care of yourself the previous days and the following days after, allow yourself to rest and integrate, and don't abuse large doses of MDMA or take multiple doses or too often, should be ok. I no longer use it because it became worse and worse with use.

First few times were perfect, but then the mind chases it and that's when we get into deep trouble. 

TIP: Always have fresh coconut water 1 - 2 liters during a session. (electrolytes).

You need minerals as MDMA severely exhausts minerals.

Thanks!

I ended up doing it. I took 150mg with a 100mg re-dose.

I took a couple pages of notes but looking over it, nothing profound.

I took 1.5g of mushrooms during the comedown because I wanted to see what would happen. I got more out of the mushrooms than the MDMA. It showed me some fears that I needed to work on and that was about it. The inner critic sort of took over at the tail end of the trip.

Definitely not a pleasant trip. I would not do it that way again. I think it would have been better to combine the two at the start so the mushrooms didn't beat me up so bad.

@Breathe i can't recommend doing shrooms in come down phase because that's mostly uncomfortable. And shrooms can exaggerate that.

@OBEler I can't say I'd recommend that to anyone else either. Haha

Good for you man. I've only ever done MDMA at techno clubs and then end up watching porn for 6 hours on the comedown while smoking weed.  

Comedowns were pure torture.

YMMV because everyone reacts differently; I experience a day or so of afterglow. 

I normally focus on sleep following MDMA. Small super nutrient dense meals without persuing the 'full' feeling people chase (which is not the currect way to eat anyway). Sleep recovery is higher with small meals.

The 2 months following MDMA use feel depressed and malaise-like. Slight fog in the mind. 

I find it quite neurotoxic so I do not touch it any more. 

Using another substance on a comedown would overload my system I think. I am glad you came out alright 😊

I personally do not recommend MDMA.

I hope I don't go down the depressed route. So far so good.

@Natasha Tori MaruHow much did you usually take?

@Butters I've done MDMA a handful of times and I really only found it useful when I did it with a couple of my girlfriends. It strengthened our bonds which surprisingly lasted for some time. I have yet to find it useful for self-exploration. Nor do I understand how anyone can socialize or party on it. I just want to curl up in a ball and bliss out.

@Breathe really hard to say, because I wasn't using it for spiritual reasons - just bonding and experimenting. 

I had it in small crystal greyish form and via caps. So a full cap would be typical for me. 

I would never have found it useful for consciousness work. Not that sort of substance imo.

I had visuals from it also - which I don't think is common. I recall going to see Daft Punk on it. During Aerodynamic got caught on a giant checker board I couldn't get out of. Then I saw gold zippers all over reality and as I unzipped them layers of vision were torn down to reveal new scenes. I recall that being the most intense MDMA trip, but I took a lot. It was tested as pure also (I never take anything I haven't tested with drug kits).

I enjoy the 'slide out' part of the come up (if that makes sense) but I hate the surging waves prior to the backside/breaking on the shore. The come up feels too much, then I am gliding on a boogieboard of love, rinse repeat. Had to use a metaphor because I don't know how else to describe it. 

Had the most fun on it with partners.

But yeah, the malaise I felt for a couple of months after mean I wouldn't do it again 😊
