Q: Ecstasy Abuse

In my depression forum you see that ive posted the use of ecstasy. And I just wanted to know if i have Permanent brain damage. Heres my story:

About 5 months ago I used to go to the mall every friday and one random friday my friend was on Ecstasy. I rarely knew what Ecstasy was, and barley thought of it as a drug. More of like a candy, a small pill you just swallow and enjoy. I really had no idea what i was getting myself into, and as i researched there was no physical addiction, more of a mental reliablity.

So after taking this pill for the first time, and wandering into a state of happyiness of feelings in my life i would never feel again. I slowly started building a mental addiction for it, i'd go to school sit in class and wait till the bell ring go to my next period and wait for friday. All the teachers noticed, my grades dropped. This happened for about 2 months, and after taking about 12 "rolls"/trips. I came to the conclusion that I need to quit, it was about 2 1/2 months ago and It was my last official "roll."

I went to the mall, and met some people there in which they gave me two of the strongest pills out there which I believe was mixed with acid and Pcp. Not knowing what i was getting myself into - again, i took both and drank a redline [Redline is one of the most powerful energy drinks out there, your suppose to be 18 to purchase it but where i live they dont care]. When you drink redline it a fat burning energy drink in which it makes u sweat and shiver in a effort to keep your body warm, which is a result of loosing fat. Anyways, I took the pills and drank the energy drink and within 20 mins later i looked like i had jumped out of a pool. My hair was dripping sweat, i was shivering and on the edge. I found a old bestfriend of mine and we went crazy,we started running around having fun, and then we got seperated somehow. I ended up in some random hill throwing up and spitting all over myself. Luckily, i was near another friends house and called her to come get me. I started hallucinating and was convinced i was going to hell and that i saw jesus and the sky was red. By the time my friend came i started screaming her name in a effort to get to her, i started running. When I reacted her, i fell to the ground and started throwing up everywhere again and crying. She brought me to her house and tried to keep me calm, I couldnt stop moving and looking at everything. My parents knew something was up the second i stepped out of her house, i still looked all sweaty and could barley walk. I was awake for 4 days straight after that?



I havent touched any pill sense, do you think I could have brain damage? Embarassed

you seem like a very intelligent and sensible person, but this is really playing with fire. very often e is laced with opiates. the combination can get you hooked very easily and does not lead down a pretty road.

i doubt that you have brain damage, just keep in mind that addiction is much more destructive than any one time brain damage because it leads you down the path of chasing an illusion at any expense to yourself and those around you.

move on while you still can. life is a beautiful gift to waste.

oh trust me i know, 100% of the time every pill i took was laced. i never once had pure mdma. Another reason to quit, im just worried, cause now im nearsighted. When you take Ecstasy it blurrs your vision, mine stayed blurred. And im constantly making mistakes when typing and even speaking. Ill mean to say one word and ill say something completely different. Ill be looking at a orange and say, look at that yummy banana. Stupid little things like that worry me the most.

Consider going to see a doctor regarding this if you keep getting the urges. He may be able to put you on some anti depressents for a while which is better than you worrying about ecxtacy. If you feel you can't do it alone please go and see a doctor.
