A male friend has taken 300 MDMA pills (acquired from the same source in Amsterdam and tested with testing kits). The first 200 times were usually awesome with each use increasingly followed by a worse depression and insomnia. Ignoring these symptoms he continued to take 2-3 pills every weekend. Over Labor Day weekend he consumed 7 pills. That was the last time he used it. After the weekend he became severaly depressed and hasn't slept more then 2 hours a night in the five months since his last use. He is unable to concentrate or complete tasks. He does not remember most of the so called incredible times he had on MDMA. He dose not smoke, drink, or take other drugs (except benzos which he used to come down of the MDMA).
Now he is afraid he has done permanent damage to his brain. He is hoping abstinence will enable him to recover. 5-HTP, melatonin and SSRI's have reduced the depression but the insomnia and memory loss are showing no signs of abating.

WOOOO!! >.< you silly people neffing in my thread, the nervE!!!! jk
Anyways, that guy is surely toasted his brain chemistry, permanent axion damage to his neurons (meaning it doesn't fire off, which means less serotonin produced). I don't think this guy was pass his 20s. Who could be that stupid, not the mention the 'friend' just LET him take it?? Unbelievable!

I know its already been said, but you just have to be careful when you take any kind of drug... Aren't you supposed to wait a week or so between X-ing... I dunno, never done it, but I'll try it soon enough...

All I can say is what an idiot. I have no remorse for anyone that abuses drugs like that. Fair enough, he may have is fair share of problems, but that's just ludicrous.
