I once accidentally took about 500mg (tested). Felt depressed for weeks. Everything felt wrong on my skin. It gave me an understanding of what it means to be depressed. Few weeks later I was fine again. But definitely a scary experience. I began to hallucinate parts of conversations. Then the muscles (?) In my ear started to feel really painful. Then I realised I had actually taken too much

Hey I had ear muscle issue after one trip too. It does come back occasionally (seems to weirdly correlate with eating Indian food (!) or big alcohol hangovers).

Was the feeling same as when you tightly shut your eyes? It's the Tensor Tympani muscle, but I'm not sure what could be causing it to spasm exactly.

Yes, like a fluttering in the ear if that makes sense. Maybe try magnesium in your case?
hallucinating on mdma is wild, no one seems to mention it really
Something like 10% of MDMA is converted to MDA on average (this varies heavily based on genetics) so it’s not super surprising. I totally agree it’s not talked about nearly enough though. I haven’t had visual hallucinations (assuming we’re talking actual hallucinations not “visuals” like tracers) but have definitely had auditory hallucinations where it sounded like people were talking just outside the car my friend and I were cuddling in.
Never happened to me. Likely someone laced it with lsd or 2cb
Those are strange choices to cut mdma with. It usually happens if I binge a bit.
How i that strange ? lsd / mdma is called candyflipping and known as one of the best mix.

lsd / 2cb is not common in US / europe but quite frequent in south america

Like I said we lab test all our stuff here in the Netherlands. Its actually free to do so. So this wasnt laced with anything. Go do some more research on mdma and hallucinating because you are clueless. Many people experience this
Well I don't distrust you.. it's just I have'n ever heard of it apart for some "minor audio hallucination". But if you say so I'll take your data point.
500 is way too much (even if you are from the UK lol).

Its 5 times the fun dose. Try doing that with some other drugs and it can be life threatening..

Even with pure MDMA a lot of the time 100mg - while an amazing time - isn’t really the “fun dose”. Ideal for me is 250 across a night (maybe 125 then 75 then 50) if it’s like a full on music festival. In a mellower context (camping or a house roll or something) I’d recommend one 100mg dose and no more though
Across a night why not. But 280 at once was defenitely too much for me..
Really depends on weight
