BODY WEIGHT: 72 kg

I took some of, what I thought was MDMA, at a party, being quite merry at the moment I made the decision to add some excitement to the evening. The substance was sold as MDMA and looked as two large lumps of brownish crystal. (Here is a photo of what was left actually http://www.wedinos.org/images/sample_testing/2604.jpg)

The experience was pleasant. I took 1/8th of the purchased amount and repeated it in 2-3 hours. After 4 hours I also took 'a little bit'. A pessimistic estimate of the total amount of substance I consumed is thus about 500mg. A few friends took only 1/8th of the volume, and nothing of the following happened to them.

After getting home by 7 in the morning I immediately fell asleep which was a bit surprising, but I decided that it must be due to alcohol.

The interesting part of the story started 2 days later, when I went to work and had a coffee. In an hour time I developed a massive anxiety attack - something I never had before. I also felt some tension in my liver area, so I was completely sure of two things: 1. I screwed up my liver, and 2. I am going mad. The anxiety was unbearable mentally, with all physical symptoms present as well - problems with breathing, pounding heart, inability to eat, etc. Eventually, I was about to give myself in to an A&E, but prior to that I decided to have a phone call with my GP.

After our conversation, I somehow calmed down. I also got some liver tests, which I did the following day, feeling almost no anxiety at all. A day after that (T0 + 4 days) I had a tea in the morning and went for a walk. In an hour panic came back. It was so strong that I had to evacuate from a cafe where I was sitting with my wife without even starting to eat. It was extremely unpleasant and scary.

T0+5 days brought some good news - my liver was ok. My mental condition was also getting better and I felt really optimistic. In fact, for a good two weeks after that I felt pretty much normal. However, on T0 + 19 days (days!) I thought I could have a tea. That was a mistake, anxiety came back in force on T0 + 19 days (days!) I thought I could have a tea. That was a mistake, anxiety came back in force
