I'm 35 and used E "A LOT" from 2000 - 2004 and haven’t done anything since. A little over a month ago I started to get the occasional heart palpitation. Went to my primary and was told I was fine. Then a week later I started to get fatigued very easily so I went back to the doc again and he made me run up the back stairs while checking my heart rate, again he said all was OK. For about a month basically all my symptoms went away and I thought I was in the clear until--
About two months ago I started having what felt like a tightening in my chest along with a bit of pain and then one evening All symptoms seamed to hit me at once. Major heart palp followed by tightening of chest and. I went to the ER as I thought I was dyeing of a heart attack. All my blood work, X-rays ect were totally normal. I have now been to the ER 3 times with same results (things get better and they sent me home).
As of 4 days ago I am having severe Anxiety/panic to the point that I’m sure another attract is coming. Today it was so unbearable I went to my primary and demanded I get something to make it stop. They put me on Adivan for the short term and started me on Citalopram for the long term. Does anyone know if this is going to help?
Cleanedup pretty much said it all.
Hi, welcome to the forum. I can't say I have seen any ecstasy users here but I may be able to give you advice as far as addictions go. The anxiety is most likely from w/d's of the drug. If the anxiety is really bad, to the point where you can't stand it, then I would recommend going to a doctor and explaining your anxiety. You don't necessarily need to mention the ecstasy just let him know you have anxiety and explain your symptoms. He may prescribe a benzodiaphine like xanaz, valium, klonopin, etc.etc. however, be careful with these drugs if you are prescribed because Benzo's are easily addicting and are known to be one of the hardest and dangerous drugs to withdraw from (check any benzo addict's forum). Take no more than one a day, for the first week..maybe two that you withdraw. Take it during extreme anxiety flare ups and it should help, especially for the sleep. REMEMBER, do not abuse a benzo. The length of you having anxiety depends on how often and how much you used ecstasy. Like I stated though, I am not familiar with ecstasy addictions but I do know you NEED to quit because it is one of the most harmful drugs out there because it contains nearly all drugs in that one single pill. Quiting now will be easier than later, you can do this and if you have any questions..feel free to message me!
GOOD LUCk!
