Overdid MDMA
TL;DR: Around 3 months ago I overdid MDMA and since then I’ve had symptoms like dizziness/lightheadedness, panic attacks, feeling “off” in the back of my head, fatigue sensitivity, and nervous system issues. I’ve improved massively and can now work and train Muay Thai again, but I still get symptoms when tired, stressed, or after poor sleep. Looking for advice or reassurance from people who recovered from something similar.

Hey everyone,
Around 3 months ago I overdid MDMA and afterwards my nervous system felt completely wrecked.
In the first few weeks I had:
• panic attacks
• dizziness/lightheadedness
• feeling sick in the car
• weird pressure/sensation at the back of my head
• fatigue
• feeling “off” constantly
• sensitivity to stress and poor sleep
At one point I couldn’t even lie down in a car without feeling horrible.
Over time I’ve improved a lot:
• I can now work full time again
• I’m training Muay Thai again
• I can walk long distances and run
• I’ve had full symptom-free days
• panic attacks are much rarer
But I still notice symptoms when:
• I’m very tired
• I don’t sleep well
• I overtrain
• I get emotionally stressed/anxious
The symptoms now are mostly:
• lightheadedness
• feeling “funny” in my head
• nervous system sensitivity/anxiety
• getting in my head about symptoms
Sometimes I’ll feel completely normal for a day or two, then after poor sleep or stress I’ll feel symptoms again and start worrying that I’m not recovering properly.
Has anyone here gone through something similar and fully recovered?
Did you have lingering nervous system/autonomic symptoms for months afterwards?
How long did it take before you stopped thinking about it and felt normal again?
Appreciate any advice or reassurance
