mdma overdose?

[RollinBallz18]

Is there a way to not die if you are overdosing on X, and how do you know if you are overdosing.

[jduba]

the key here is probably not overdosing but to remember to take care of
yourself while high. ei. hydration, cooling down, taking a breather no
matter how good you feel. Also know what your taking (which is almost
impossible) but have a clue, take pills others can report on. I
wouldn't recommend running on pills, as in trying to maintaine high for
a long period of time. after you peak and take a few more for a good
buzz your just wasting pills, save em for another great peak at another
time. there is no real reason to overdose on E unless your being way to
careless. a lot of times people who think they are overdosing can be
talking themselves into freaking out or may just be overwealmed. if you
or someone you know thinks they have overdone it get them to calmdown
maybe take a benzo or two and if that dosen't help get someone sober to
help. don't ever be scared of possibly getting caught using drugs/by
parents etc if a friend needs help there life is way more important
then getting in trouble

Prevention is better than a cure, and all that.



Prevention: Dont eat very many..

Cure: Get to the hospital, fucking quickly

[matti_2003]

There is no need at all to take anywhere near an amount that would be an overdose

[whatwhybecause]

i hate putting numbers on things because everybody is different, but it's obvious from the way that a lot of the posts are going at the moment, that people are extremely scared about taking e and the precautions and preventions involved.


i'm not saying i'm any expert because i'm not, but i just want to help put some people in the picture on this one:


to overdose on mdma would take one hell of a load of pills to get there. however, if youre a paul-never-rolled (newbie) then that amount is going to be significantly lower than if you have been taking them for six or seven years, for example.


i know people that do double figure amounts of pills every weekend and still come out on top (well, they are zombified for a week) and they definitely do not need to go to hospital.


when i first starting taking them though, i did about five,six,seven in one night (think it might have been the second time i'd done it) and i WAS admitted to hospital because i lost motorfunction, couldnt breath and couldnt communicate because i had developed so many ulcers along the lining of my mouth and throat.


taking that many at such an early time is obviously not the thing to do (and if were being responsible is probably never the thing to do), but it does happen and people do live to tell the tale.

Again: Keep your usage down, keep the number ingested down, keep enjoying it for many years

Everybody's body is different. I knew a guy 2 years ago who died from
it, off of 1 single pill. However, that can't really even be related to
this topic, because what actually caused him to die is unknown. It was
later found out that the pill was full of shit, ranging from MDMA to
DXM to Heroin. So, it just as easily could have been the H that killed
him instead of the MDMA. Anyways, just be safe, and like others said,
there really is no need to get to the point of overdosing.

is it possible to OD and die on mdma? i mean if you take the right amounts of water and say you just sat in a chair for a few hours. if so what kind of dose would kill you.

[Toria]

I've heard it's extremely extremely EXTREMELY hard to OD on MDMA. People that go to the hospital are usually just scared cause it's really intense, not because they are gonna die.

[metalex86]

On that Peter Jennings documentry on E it estimated out of 110 million doses (I think) only 2 died of MDMA, so its going to be pretty hard to overdose.

[asystole]

In 1998 there were only 9 reported MDMA related deaths... and that's ER statistics... meaning they were TOLD the patient had taken MDMA. This does not necessarily mean they did a total blood workup on the patient to see what else they were on.


Most MDMA related deaths result from overheating, however there are deaths caused by drinking TOO much water too, as ADH is released so you dilute your blood plasma to dangerous levels. This can cause blood clotting issues, and hyperthermia is still an issue. Rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscles) can be caused by hyperthermia, and results inan inbalenceof sodium levels. Depleted sodium levels can result in cerebral edema (swelling of the brain), seizures, and increased cardiac workload.


I can explain it all better if you want, I just don't have a lot of time right now... but yeah if you stick to 1L of water/hour (the recommended amount) and sat in a chair in a cool environment, you should be fine unless you took a massive dose.


The LD-50 of MDMA (http://thedea.org/technicalFAQ.html) is between 100mg/kg and 300mg/kg... which means an average, healthy male for example would have a 50% chance of dying if he took between 8.5g and 25.5g (assuming he's 85 kg)


That's a lot of MDMA...Edited by: asystole

[whatwhybecause]

if youd never done it before and taken three; at 94 lbs then its probable that something like that would happen; simply because your body wasnt ready for it seeing as it had never experienced it before.


moderation is the key

[scrappy]

it's harder than most people think...my friends and I have had some extreme dosages. way before you ever die from ODing you will feel physical and mental undesirable effects which will lead you to not taking another pill in most circumstances (basically as long as you aren't suicidal) in my personal experience.

[Hyperreal]

Large doses of MDMA can kill by causing hyperthermia. The LD50 in mice is 106.5mg/kg and in rats 350mg/kg.


Also, MDMA can cause cardiac dysrhythmia or fibrillation in people with heart conditions.

I took 12 pills in the space of 4 hours once. About3 hours after the last dose, I became paranoid and started hallucinating. Later I smoked a lot of weed and suddenly felt like i'dbecome mental. It was like reality had broken intothousands of pieces, and I experinced intense de javu continously for over a minute. It felt like my memory was on the verge of shutting down too. My speech became slow, and I would use my hands to 'describe' what I was saying. I felt very slow but strangely very articulate at the same time. I could see some visuals when I closed my eyes too.(Thisstate started about 6hours after my last pill, and lasted for around3 hours.) Anyone had a similiar experience?


I figured it might havehappened because some of the pillsI had contained something other than MDMA - maybe LSD orKetamine? I had a break for about 6 weeks and then took 10 pills very quickly. I was rolling beautifuly for about 4 hours, and then the paranoid hallucinations startedagain. Laster I smoked some weedbut the 'reality trip' didnt happen this time.

Twin in Alternative Universe says:

I made the mistake of taking 4 double stacked Mitsubishis back in '99 or 2000. They probably were the strongest pills I ever got. One should have been enough. I drank too much water as well. I think I may have swollen up a little because of taking in too many fluids, and no that's not funny. The day after my brain felt like a clot of minced meat that had been out in the sun too long.

[radiometer]

If you had a bad reaction from Mitsu pills in that time period, they very
well could have been the ones with PMA in them.

[FrankenChrist]

Alternative Universe Twin replies:

I am sure they were MDMA, just very strong ones. I had experienced XTC before, and this was just like it, just stronger. That is simply because I took too much. Also, from my knowledge PMA takes longer to come up. These took about the same time to come up as other pills.
