Ok, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes....

Last weekend I took a total of 17 e's in one night, and have been having a few problems since. I often find myself feeling sick and getting dizzy spells, which can last for 5 - 10 mins and then go again and i'm fine. This is really worrying me as it has been 5 days since I took the pills. Also i've been having trouble sleeping, waking up and feeling scared etc, but I understand that this is a normal effect after taking e?
I also inhaled a large amount of nitrous oxide (about 30 balloons worth) but I dont think that has anything to with how i'm feeling, who knows though?
I don't want to go to the doctors just yet, and would be greatful if someone could maybe put my mind at rest! And before anyone says it, yes, I know it was stupid to take so many e's in a single night! Will not be happening again!!

Thanks, chris.

Go to the doctor!!! What you did was .S.O dangerous.
Everytime you take a tab of e it eats away a hole in your brain. I am honestly surprised you are not dead from a drug overdose. You really need help.

Ya holy hell ppl can try and give you advice here but the best thing to do is go to a doctor!! Why the hell would you take 17 pills of e like omfg!!! I guess it could have been worse, they could have been double stacked but none the less that is absolutely retarted you probably have holes all over your spine and brain. No for next time to take 2 or 3 max in a night.

We are talking about dime size holes, for every e you took no wonder you feel like s***!!!!

That is so crazy are you trying to kill yourself?? Im serious, that is slowely committing suicide. (in your case, much faster than most!) any drug addiction is like that.(not that I dint do my share in my younger years, though) but that is terrible to try so hard to kill yourself. Its not fun, how could you even enjoy 17 e's.
You seriously need to find someone you can talk to--and try to find why you would want to do this to yourself. Maybe a friend or something--seriously that is so dangerous. You should know that too, if not do some research on the net, about the effects of these and other drugs. I know you might have been ignorant to it too, but research will explain it a lot.

God bless you--please find some help

Yeah, thats what all the kids say--i mean kids as in up to 25 or so. But this generation is obsessive about everything. Radical if you will--out of control. If you really knew what it does to you, you wouldn't be so passive about it.
I say ya'all need to find something to get obsessive about, like jesus or something. You are all looking for the missing high, the missing part. Jesus is the answer.

God bless you

Actually, what excstacy does do is cause your body to over-produce the endorphins that make you feel happy. Afterwards, your body will not be able to produce the normal amount it was making before you took e... It literally makes you sadder the more you take it. Eventually, even if you take a ton of it, you can't feel as happy as you used to feel on normal days.

Insidious, yes? You'll never be as happy as you were the first time on e, unless you up the dose each time... And eventually, you won't be able to be happy at all. This is no "holes in the brain" drama; this is what it actually does.
