Ecstasy Flashbacks

[Semtex_Roach]

I was thinking about this last night, and from the few other heavy mdma users i have known have generally found a consensus, that MDMA causes flash-backs of some sort, so I wanted to hear out the seasoned pill-heads on Bombshock for what they had to say on the matter...

Basically i'm saying, has it ever happened to you/does it ever happen that when you are drunk (especially) or high on any other drug, to feel the effects of MDMA return even months after your last use of it?
Personally, when I was 17 I came very close to overdosing on M, and didn't touch it for a long time after that, and remember that 8 months later after a couple of drinks i'd sometimes still grind my teeth slightly/get eye-wobbles/dance like an absolute wanker. I have noticed it occasionally happen again since then, except without any physical symptoms but a return of the "rushing" sensation, along with pupil dilation and the classic mini-dick.
The latter recent sensations may be, with hindsight, due to the onset of GDA and panic attacks which I am currently recovering from, but as I have not read of any studies into the matter, only of occasional reports on forums and from friends, I wanted to know whether anybody has come across such studies or can volunteer personal information that might lend more insight into the bizarre and often terrifying world of ecstasy excess.

PS: Someone politely ask whoever designed the forum to add a smiley with dilated pupils for this sub-section of the forum .

What's GDA?

[-inefficiency-]

Sometimes I feel like I'm gurning or grinding my teeth or whatever. I don't think I actually do, but it makes me paranoid at the time because I think I am.
If I look in a mirror or whatever, I look totally fine, but I feel like I am.
I can remember being especially paranoid at one point when my friend was telling me that his Dad has mates who are pretty-much permanently gurning these days because they've taken so many pills in the past.

It happens a lot when I'm stoned, but I've gotten used to it now and it doesn't really bother me.

typo - GAD. (generalised anxiety disorder).

I've found gurning to be greatly reduced by taking 5-HTP + Magnesium supplements, apparently bruxia is caused by Mg deficiencies... Might be placebo but i've seen it help mates...
And i know what you mean about fucked-up old-timers, pills back in the day were something else. I'm getting quite into GHB at the moment and the only thing that holds me back from making it a proper party drug (idosyncratic though it may seem i'm currently clean besides G [done twice] and alcohol, have been for about four months and trying to keep it that way) is medical studies popping up in the near future conclusively proving it can turn you into a raccoon.

When I think about the fun of some of my old sessions I certainly get rushes, although I don't think it's any different to the rushes I get looking back on any proud moment of my life. The similarity between these proud rushes and MDMA rushes is coincidental.

As for the gurning, I'm not the guy to ask. I used to grind my teeth when I was young. I stopped that bad habit a long time ago but even if I notice myself doing it nowadays (which I do occasionally), I can't conclusively attach it the MDMA use, because it existed before I took MDMA.

I'm more interested in the nystigmia and dilated pupils. Those are much more definitive after-effects. Are you certain about those?

As for mini-dick, we all have our excuses . Seriously though, that could be attributed to the cold or just the time of day. The size of my flaccid dick is far from constant.
