I've been really curious about molly comedowns lately. Mostly, what factors play into comedowns. Are some people naturally not affected by comedowns? Does it mostly have to do with adulterants? Or is it to do with pureness? These sound naive but I'm well aware of how MDMA works on your serotonin receptors and what not. Personally, I seem immune to comedowns. I've heard them described as the worst feeling ever, even directly after an experience. For me, if anything, I'm just a little down by Sunday night (if I have a stressful week ahead). I've rolled on pure MDMA ~ 6 times. I usually take no more than 2 points, and if so I only re-dose once. The days after the rave I usually take an airborne and 200 mg of 5HTP when I wake up. Does this mean 5HTP could actually cure comedowns, or do you think it's personally? From what I understand, the more you abuse molly and the less time you wait with experiences, the worse the comedown. Let me know how comedowns affect you, what your rituals are, how many times you've rolled, when it hits, etc. I'm really interested in understanding this. Thanks :sunny:
I'm usually just really tired and docile but can't seem to sleep. That's about it. I hit a bong and get some afterglow going. Bzzzzzzzz
I think the MDMA comedown is kind of overblown but I do get it regardless of whether it is Pure Ecstasy or Molly, however I don't get it every experience. Adulterants will often make the comedown worse. Personally I feel a bad alcohol hangover is worse than an MDMA comedown. I feel other stimulants like Cocaine have harsher crashes as well and even other psychedelics like LSD can make me crash in kind of a similar way of feeling less then stellar after occasionally but with less frequency. The nature of the MDMA comedown to me starts when the affects start to wane and the overwhelming optimism seems to erode away toward the end of the experience and the captivated sense of mental wonder gives way to a sense of mental dullness. It tends to be mild the rest of the evening but up to the following couple of days, I either feel like I don't have any sort of grasp on my emotions or I'm just kind of listless, uninterested and apathetic towards things. I often feel physically exhausted as well due to dancing all night the following day as the MDMA masks what I'm putting my body through but this just makes me not want to do much the following day and something I kind of have got accustomed to moreso than the mental/emotional components. Now the interesting thing is that sometimes I get an afterglow where I still retain a degree of magic from the experience that colors the following days, so it seems to be something more complex than simply a bunch of serotonin got released which equals depression, although that certainly provides significant insight into the MDMA comedown. Just as some people are significantly more sensitive to the affects of MDMA, I'd think that it's almost certain some are more sensitive to the MDMA comedown as well. I do not take 5htp, I kind of have a mindset of I got to take the good and the bad of the chem and if I find that the negative affects of MDMA start to outweigh the beneficial affects for me I'd probably just stop taking it. Unless planned ahead of time rarely do I even take other drugs to attempt to offset the comedown as well. I have not count how many times I've taken MDMA but it's probably getting close to 100 times over nearly a decade.
In my opinion allot of the bad effects of the comedown are from other drugs cut into a pill. For example you will get a nasty crash from meth and that is a pretty common cut in pills. My crash from a pill vs. Molly has always been much worse. With Molly I gradually just feel less high. Of course I wish the rolling feeling would last but I just feel tired and not really depressed. I have rolled so many times I have lost count and the comedown never gets any worse. My first time rolling was on pills and I definitely felt bad the next day. But it was 90% a mental thing, I was just sad to have felt so good and to have that feeling taken away. I am sort of a shy person and the MDMA made me the exact opposite of that. So I decided to just try to bring that rolling personality out more. I mean I would still say I am not a social butterfly but I did feel better about my MDMA experiences when I reminded myself "you can act this way all the time if you want". I guess I would summarize my attitude as don't be sad it's over be happy it happened.
I definitely agree with you on that. The only time I've felt awful is when I've had terrible molly. I think some people are too hung up on the fun experience and then are devastated that it's over. Although sometimes I feel slightly down, but not really. More physically drained.
Mine are sometimes characterized by irritability. I've learned to stay aware that maaayyyyybe it's not her being irritating; it's me being irritable. Other times there will be a day or two of lingering euphoria. In summary, not really much of a problem.
For me when it's clean it's more of an emotional thing the next day and my jaw hurts. When it's mdma/meth bomb I feel like total shat when it's over (I don't intentionally take mdma/meth bomb pressed pills) and ache a lot when I come down and until late the next day. Because of this I spent 25 bucks on a test kit, I have no desire for meth or any amphetamines, I want MDx not the other junk or I'd simply buy it, in TN meth is everywhere almost easier to find then dank bud which is just SAD.
