> hi everyone
> I have been suffering with mdma caused brain damge for three years, after heavy use of mdma for the three previous years.
>
> I would like to contact people in the same situation.
>
> This firstly started as mild social anxiety, and mild depression. I was prescribed prozac for six months and this helped me overcome my problems.
>
> I was hooked on the mdma buzz so I returned to it not as heavily as before but mixed with more other drugs.
>
> Then the suprise of my life happened, after one night of mdma taking I awoke the next morning to find that I felt different in myself.
> I felt generally uneasy, I felt a sense of dread and forboding, this was amplified when I walked down the road I felt paranoid and suffered panic attacks in social situations.
> This overnight change I believe was a symptom of the partial destruction of my serotonin carrying neural pathways in my brain.
>
> Over the next four months I went through a period of recovery when daily I felt strange sensations inside my head several times a day, at first I didn't know what these sensations were about, but as the days went one I intuitively felt that I was slowly recovering from the brain damge.
> After about four months from that day I felt that my brain had recovered back to normal. This process was not easy and I could not face normal life such as working, and limited alcohol fueled social engagements.
>
> One thing that I noticed with this brain damage was that drugs that had previously been helpful, such as prozac now had the oposite effect, it made me manically depressed, I had never suffered from mania before. So I could not take prozac, I believe this is because it was a drug focused on the neurotransmitter serotonin which I believe was the damaged area.
>
> I was still hooked on the mdma buzz, so unfortunately I took another two pills over a couple of months.
> This was enough to repeat my problems only more severely, I'm now two years and one month on from my last ever pill and I still am not back to normal.
>
> I am however expecting to recover to normal within a few months, I have found a drug that I believe has helped my brain to recover.
>
> You can email me if you want to discuss any drug related issue, I am particuarly interested in mdma related brain damage, and if anyone else out there has suffered from similar problems to what I have described
>
> email me at survivinge@yahoo.co.uk
