PMA still affecting me

[bennyben]

A tale from my tortoise

I took what i thought was MDMA back in June 2001. They were large speckled red/brown mitsubishi pills. I took 1 and then another and not much was happening. By the end of the night i had taken 4 and a half. All was ok until around 10 in the morning, i had one pull on a joint (i smoked weed all the time back then so wasnt a big deal) and started have muscle spasms. My heart was beating out of my chest and i thought i was dying. I felt this was for 2 hours or so, then it finally went away.

People around the time were saying thes pills had heroin in, which i thought was a load of rubbish. I am sure it was PMA. It took at least 2 hours to kick in, i had the eye lid twitches, etc. I know a few people who gave up taking pills after having a bad time off these ones.

I carried on smoking weed for a few months after even though it made me feel terrible. It would give me a very heavy heart beat and chest pains.

Now i can't take any drugs, even a tiny bit if cocaine makes me feel like i will have a heart attack. When i excercise i worry about having a heart attack. Even when i get slightly nervous now my heart beats very heavily and i get chest pains all the time. I also get red eye all the time and pins and needles in my fingers.

I am very angry that these greedy people made these pills for common sale to people wanting to take mdma, simply because it is cheaper. I would be very grateful if anyone has any information on the long term effects of PMA or has had a similar experience.

Thank you
