I'll start...
Anxiety, depression, derealisation, depersonalisation, delusions, paranoia, HPPD, trip to pych suspected mood disorder, self medication causing diazepam addiction, electric shocks, sleep paralysis, myclonic jerks, could probably go on but that's the main things.
Drugs: Smoking dope heavily since 13, taking pills/speed/loads of all nighters/raves starting at 15
Done acid, nothing negative came because of that and had a dihydrocodeine addiction and done a lot of coke. Oh and I've drank heavily since I was 14.
Yeah I've done a fair bit but I wouldn't change a thing, I've learnt a lot about people and myself. I feel okay and I'm still recovering from it all really but I feel better and better all the time but I still continue to do coke,benzos, occaisional opiates, pills regularly and the odd spliff now and again. Still drink a lot and do at least one all nighter a week.
Sounds bad written down but I'm honestly ok...been through shit and got over it. I believe it was all just a bit of anxiety coming from stim abuse and smoking dope at such a young age.
I'd love to see a scan of my brain see if there's any damage.
Reckon I've done myself in?! Haha
Whats your story? I know a few people on here have got one to tell?

I'd say that's all outbalanced by the good tho'.
i think the cannabis was the cause for the majority of anxiety and paranoia
tbh at times ive felt ways that i couldnt even explain its quite strange
i still go on the rip every weekend but its usually only drink and a bit of smoke .. its starting to turn into serious binge drinking at weekends which is worrying me, im still hungover from the weekend
the anxiety and paranoia were probably the worst .. and feeling like absolutely nothing when i was a real e head.. like i was looking out of someone elses eyes.. felt so.. i dunno .. empty or something
its quite difficult to say what caused what because i was doing everything at once .. and i only think i got a lot of these problems because there was a period when i was really caining the fuck out of everything
the HPPD is the only thing that didnt fuck off after i cut down considerably .. and a bit of anxiety from time to time but thats usually when i smoke .. im used to the HPPD now it doesnt really bother me that much (its definatly more noticeable after taking drugs or a good smoke though)
the sleep paralysis and feelin that i was goin a wee bit mad at times was scariest .. but that was during the real bad period and i dont get those problems anymore
in sayin all that, ive had some amazing times and ill take it all as a learning expierence
oh and lsd defniatly changed the way i think about certain stuff.. not so much in a negative way i just have a different perspective about a lot of things
Probably wouldn't take as much magic mushrooms which made my HPPD go from mild to severe. Other than that, couldn't give a fuck, every drug experience is a good one in the long run.
Problems:Anxiety, find it very hard to breath, I attribute this to HPPD. HPPD-Complete nuts but well used to it now, scary sometimes, actually developing new visuals lately when trying to sleep, wee green lines form loads of circles, quite scary. Other than that, I'm alrite with it. Twitching, could be due to anxiety or just taking too many drugs, I ten to twitch my shoulders and blink my eyes a lot which I don't like. Never got paranoia in my life. Maybe just a lucky one. Complete alteration of perception of reality, get depersonalisation the odd time which leads to panic attakcs. Sleep paralysis, though had it before drug use but definately makes it more prevelant, still get it now and don't even take yokes ffs. Oh and got them head pains Zo1 was on about.
Other than all that shit, drugs were FUCKING class!
I know some people would read what we wrote and think, "how could you do that shit?" but if they could even experience being on E's for 5 minutes they'd take it all back.
But the problems you've had were largely to do with how you used MDMA, not with MDMA itself.
I know, what's your point? I know everyone should take them responsibly but when you're actually taking them, in the environment you're taking them and with the people you're taking..they become smarties, more more more! :shocking:
I guess I was just trying to suggest to others who might be reading this that your side effects are niether the norm, or inevitable for users of MDMA.
And neither are things like HPPD from prolonged use. It varies from person to person, all I have to say is that drugs are some fucking buzz and it's something that I think everyone should try at least once in their lives.
quite possibly as i really did not give a fuck at the time
I've never gotten sleep paralysis or hppd yet thank god.
The answer to ladyjade, i probably shouldn't have smoked so much ganga i'd have alot more money and a fresher memory, i've only taken acid around 4 or 5 times and the same for mushies, if not less, it's the pills and smoke i take alot more and the odd bit of toot.
and ive fuck all motivation and a head like a sieve too cuz of the amount of blow ive smoked/smoke
Definately ya big gimp, you tell some stories countless times as if you've never told me.
I've always had a good memory so drugs never affected that department thankfully.
Apart from that I haven't really had many problems. Usually just general fucked-upness from using many substances at once, and at fairly high doses. Sometimes feeling messy and twisted from the high doses is nice, but sometimes you just want a nice clean buzz, and can't get it 'cos you have to munch too many to achieve the same effect. That's one good thing about not being able to cane it over here - my tolerance will be rock bottom when I come back!
Yea same with me, although i have given hard drugs a rest for a bit, and still i feel a little head fucked i don't regret any of them in my life. The way i look at it is i have had alot of fun off drugs (some of the best times of my life) and i take them knowing the consiquences. So why not take them?
It wasn't the last time i took it but every other time i was so convinced i might die this time it wasn't any fun. Not helped by having a boyfriend who had ended up in hospital as a result of too much speed taking and almost died who liked to remind me of the fact on every occasion.
I don't regret any of the stuff i did though - but i have seen some people seriously fuck up thier lives through taking too many drugs and i'm very glad i'm not one of them.
Sounds like you weren't getting some very nice coke, I've never heard of anything as extensive as that. Unless you already had nose bleeds and cained it?
Cocaine will damage the nose and in some people this will mean more nose bleeds. Just getting a nose bleed is no indication of quality, cocaine is quite causic.
Either way, that must piss you of to no end! I've only ever blown blood out of my nose never had a full on nosebleed, not very nice!
I've only blown blood out as well, but i find it's usually worse with stronger stuff. Also heard from someone who was in S America recently that the coke over there guarantees a nose-bleed.
and no im not joking
