Question:
I am currently experiencing severe insomnia both initiating and maintaining sleep, everynight for last 11 months now. Also, I am depressed and fatigued and unmotivated, low libido, poor memory and concentration. I suspect it is due to previous MDMA abuse since I have no personal or family history of depression or mental problems, and because all the affected systems are serotonin regulated with MDMA being a known neurotoxin to serotonin terminals. Additionally, the timing of onset coincides exactly with the day after my last MDMA experience which by the way was not a 'bad trip' or anything. I don't think it's withdrawal-related depression because I've taken breaks from MDMA in the past for 6 months or more and never felt depressed at all, but this time iI felt physically depressed from Day 1 with no obvious psychological influences at that time. My psyches been telling me it's probably mental, but I believe this is an oversimplification and that it's only a small part of the picture and fear I am being misdiagnosed as a case of simple depression. I am currently taking serzone for sleep and depression and after many months and tweaking with the dosage amt and timing have only recently started to experience some degree of results. I am interested if anyone had ever heard of anything like this happening before and if there was anything else I could try to help. Thanks Paul
