MDMA forehead pressure

Hey im an 18 year old male trying to figure out what is wrong with me and how to fix it for about 3 months now becuase it is anooying the absolute **** out me! So i took mdma 3 times over about 2 months. The second time i took it i felt this wierd feeling in my forehead as if my forehead looked wierd or disformed but when i looked in the mirror it was perfectly normal. This lasted for about 2 days but then went away. The third time i took mdma i took too much i think i had around .4g and i overheated and had a bad roll. The next couple days i felt absolutely awful and pressure in my forehead would not go away. It drove me insane and after about a week i called my mom to come get me from school for the weekend and i told her what happened and we got some 5htp and i took it and went back to school. i felt a little better and over time it has become better when i dont notice it but it is always there and i can tell when i think about it. It feels as if someone took a 1 inch thick board and pressed it to your head right across your eyebrows and just kept pressing it there. It is really anooying and it makes you feel like your forehead looks different but in reality it is the same shape. I just want to know what is wrong with me because i HAVE GOT TO FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!! Im teling you i cant take this any longer and i need an answer now or i am going to go insane!!!!!!! Ive looked up things on the internet and ive thought ive had so many things including hppd, derealization, depersonaliztion, delirium, and vitamin b12 defficiency but i truly just dont know what is wrong with me and it is bugging me too death. Somebody for the love of life PLEASE help me and tell me what is wrong with me and what i can do to help this problem!!!

Sounds like a migraine.  I would check in with your doctor and be very honest.

Hey there...
I saw that you didn't have a response yet, and wanted to help if I could. I have never taken mdma before, but a google search lead me to www.drugs.com and here's a clip of what they say can happen:

MDMA users may encounter problems similar to those experienced by amphetamine and cocaine users, including addiction. MDMA damages brain serotonin neurons. Serotonin is thought to play a role in regulating mood, memory, sleep, and appetite. Research indicates heavy MDMA may cause persistent memory problems in humans; however, a 2011 study has reported limited cognitive decline in users of MDMA.1

Psychological effects can include confusion, depression, sleep problems, anxiety, and paranoia, sometimes lasting for weeks after taking the drug. Physical effects can include muscle tension, involuntary teeth-clenching, nausea, blurred vision, faintness, and chills or sweating. Increases in heart rate and blood pressure are a special risk for people with circulatory or heart disease.

Also, there is evidence that people who develop a rash that looks like acne after using MDMA may be risking severe side effects, including liver damage, if they continue to use the drug. Almost 60 percent of people who use Ecstasy report withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, loss of appetite, depressed feelings, and trouble concentrating.

--Don't know if that answers anything for you, and all I can say is to hang in there. I read that it's right up there with meth and cocaine as far as withdrawals and quitting the drug. That's what I suspect; that you're in withdrawal. Please hang in there and know that you're young and you have a long life ahead of you; this is just a battle you have to fight now. Don't give up..the longer you fight, the better off you'll be. The head pounding doesn't sound so great-have you gone to a doctor yet? that should be your next step. Just know that you're not alone and that you have the ability to fight this. If you use again, you'll have to go through this all over again eventually. Get through this rough patch. You can do it!!
