Experiences - ecstasy roll gone bad?

[ravemyass]

I've rolled off ecstasy several times in my life. I've always had an amazing time doing E but last night was different.

I went to a rave and purchased 2 ecstasy pills which were both orange/peach-ish with a spade on them. I took them with my friend who even has more experiences with ecstasy than I do. After about an hour, he was rolling and felt amazing. We were both dancing but I felt nothing at this time. Soon I started to feel very weird but not in a good way. My stomach started to ache and the music which I normally love started to annoy me a little (trance, house, techno, etc..). I was dancing for awhile (I always dance ALL night at each rave I go to) until I suddenly felt like it was too much of an effort to dance. Dancing was boring me and so was the music. I sat down, drank some water and had the worst stomach ache. I was also very pale, dry-heaving, breaking out in a sweat but had the chills. My friend helped me to the bathroom and before I could make it to the toilet, I puked in the trash. I've NEVER once puked off E before.
My stomach felt better after I puked but I just didn't feel normal. I sat down and I was very annoyed and aggravated by everything around me. The music, the people and watching people dance really started to annoy the shit out of me. I sat down for awhile and could only close my eyes. With my eyes open, I felt kind of drunk and with them closed, it felt like I took some muscle relaxers and I felt calm. Almost wanting to meditate.

After 45 more minutes, I was feeling fine and was able to walk around and communicate with people again but the music was still annoying the piss out of me and the last thing I wanted to do was dance. Even though, I normally like the music (Benny Benassi was djing at the time). I felt too lazy to move and not energetic at all. Soon that started to change. I felt like I was finally starting to come up (3 hrs after I dropped) but I felt very edgy. Almost the feeling one gets when they do a lot of coke but without the crash or the strong desire to do more. I started to feel energetic again but still I did not want to dance and everything/everybody was still annoying me. Fifteen minutes later, I finally felt like I was rolling but that only lasted for ten minutes. Then I just felt depressed, bored and I didn't want anyone to touch me. If anyone touched me I would feel bothered and the sweaty bodies of people would just gross me out when it normally doesn't bother me. For the rest of the night, I just sat in the corner bored and depressed. Like I said earlier, my friend was rolling good and we both took the same pills, same quantity. He just danced all night and felt the love from everyone.

Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? I know puking was probaby a big reason why I couldn't roll but it wouldn't make me feel like shit or that angry at everything around me. Maybe it was MDA instead of MDMA? Maybe it was something else or even just a placebo affect on my friend? Does anyone have any ideas? Even if you don't, I'd still like to hear what you have to say about this awful time I had. I never felt this confused about anything in my life.

Don't self incriminate, use SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me)..

I've heard of numerous different people who have gotten sick off ecstasy.. I'm not sure why it happens to them or whats in the pill, could be alot of factors?

who knows

[sirdrugalot]

what frame of mind were you in before you took the e's like with alcohol sometimes they can enhance what ever frame of mind your in. then again you never know what the fucks in em.
swim took e's every weekend for about five years without missing a weekend. some times during the week even.
hes had lots of different experiences ranging from being extremely friendly and open with people to cases of extreme paranoia and fits of rage, even some nights just sitting there drinking away without talking to anyone to crawling around on his hands and knees, rolling around on the floor to talking to people who were not even there.
you just dont know what your getting when you buy e,s these days. swim dont know about the us but where swim lives when you buy e's these days you can be sure that 99 times out of 100 that your not gonna get any mdma in them.
when swim started taking e's about 97 or 98 they were almost always the real deal. they cost you a hell of a lot more than what they do now but you would only take two or tree of them have the best night of your life feel like every one was your best friend even people you did not like. the ones going about now cost you the same price as a pint and you could eat 20 of them over the night, as for the effects its a lucky dip. !!!

SWIM is from the US but went to Canada for this experience. Thanks for the information. Swim was in a pretty good state of mind but in a very clusterphobic location. People had to push other people to get from point A to point B. Way over crowded and she felt a little uneasy.

You probably got dirty pills, which is way more common than people either know or will admit to.

It could DXM or some type of amphetamine but then again, we don't know. No way we can pinpoint what happened.

Something useful is to analyze your own feelings at the time. It can say a lot about a bad trip and how it can happen, drug related issues aside.

SWIM would place his bets on the pill containing some MDMA (which is why your friend buzzed) but also some other chemical(s) as well, the other chemical(s) may have disagreed with you but not with your friend, which would explain why you felt like sh*t.

This is only a theory though, it's practically impossible to give a definitive answer because so many unknown factors and variables are involved.

maybe you didnt feel comfortable when you took those pills.... try to relax next time, dont think about anything, imagine you're with hundreds of bitches who are naked dancing...... just........ relax..........relax.............. yup!! you're high now!

namct added 3 Minutes and 41 Seconds later...

That's why!!! Told him what i said. have a good trip!

Yes, an uncomfortable setting can easily turn an MDMA experience into an anxiety-attack. I don't understand why more people don't have such anxiety-filled times at raves in general. Or maybe many did and didn't bother reporting it - just took their show on the road to a better location.

[KomodoMK]

I think with raves in general most people are already extremely excited, happy and loving the music when they drop, so it just amplifies those effects.

swim never liked raves, he would rather sit round a mates house or at a party and talk shit all night. never got the whole dancing thing, besides its two much hassel pushing through the crowds to get a drink. its nice to have a bag of cans beside you, you dont even have to get out your seat.
