Extacy Side effects 3-4 weeks after use.

I did Extacy when I was 18 years old about 3 times. I never experienced any side effects from it.  I am now 26 years old. For some stupid reason which I greatly regret. I took an Extacy pill September 28th. I had a great time on it. The next day I felt fine but about 2 weeks later I was feeling very high anxiety & I am suffering from depression. I also was having mood swings.  I am also having problems with sleeping where I have these thoughts running though my head all night long, and my heart is beating fast. & I pace back and forth in my apartment. I thought I was getting better last week. Since I was able to get a full night sleep & the anxiety was getting better. But I am still having all of the same symptoms. Except instead of pacing in my apartment I just try & stay still. I know I can not reverse what I did. I just hope that this will go away & I will get that "glow" back. I have tried to do research & many people say that it is going to take time to feel better.  I hope I did not do permanent damaged to the brain.  I wish I never took that pill…  I just want to go back to the way I was before!  I just do not understand that I am having these effects still  after 1 pill? 4 weeks later?  I feel as if I am going to loose everything. In the meaning while my doctor prescribed mw with Effexor & Xannx to take as needed.  This will be my 2nd week taking the effxor. I really hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel, & I can get back to the way I use to be….  I am very scared…. If anybody has any advise at all with this please feel free to share it with me.

Effexor gave me a lot of the symptoms that you are describing and I never touched ectacy.  The amazing thing was that it took me days of being on it to realize how much it was screwing me up.  Once I was off of it, it was plain as day.  Confusion, forgetfulness, sleeplesness, crazy thoughts, etc.  I had a similar but much less severe effect with Cymbalta, FYI.  Just wanted to give you my two cents on the Effexor, it could be part of the problem.

I last took E September 28th  I am still having side effects.   I took  one pink pill with a gun stamped on it called " 9 Millimeters" my friends take them all the time. I was the only one with  side effects.  I am 26 years old and have not taken E since I was 18-19
It has now been over a month. The side effects started a week later. I still wake up at night in a pannic,  I take sleeping pills and xannx to get to sleep. My docter also put me on Effexor 75mg   I feel tingling in the back of my neck and in my feet, when I also am getting head achs.  (not sure if that is from the E or the medication) I feel as if I am getting better. The last 2 days have been much better, no pannic attacks at work. I know for a fact I will never do E anymore,  wish me luck all...

I have too used X, been a while, just depends on  where it came from and who made it. My most side effect, was back pain, inability to pee, increased temperature and sleeplessness, depression and sexual excitement. This lasted for about 2 days, and subsided. I became very afraid when I had no idea where it came from. Not worth the risk

Yeah, ecstacy can have long term effects. The most mine has ever lasted was about a month. I mess with E once in a blue moon , once every few years, if that. Sometimes what is in the pill can play a huge factor in side effects. Just stick it out, the buzz was so euphoric and your mind isn't used to that. You will be fine, I took one not too long ago for the first time in 3 years. My side effects lasted 2 weeks.
