Ecstasy addiction
Ecstasy addiction is one of the most peculiar and unusual types of addiction, and for that reason it is also one in which treatment varies. There is a treatment method available, but it is one that takes a lengthy period of time, and one in which the user is ensured to go through intense pain.
First, here is a list of the withdrawal symptoms
1. Panic Attacks-
2. Depression-
3. Nausea
4. insomnia/hypersomnia
5. inability to concentrate
6. physical lethargy, (in extreme cases resembling ecstasy induced parkinsons)
Treatment for Withdrawal Symptoms
The major treatment for ecstasy withdrawal symptoms is simply stopping use of ecstasy for a certain period of time, depending on level of abuse. Among that, eating tons of food, as well as sleeping and exercising as much as possible are really the best treatment or ecstasy addiction.
Supplements/Nootropics
5-HTP- By taking high doses of this supplement, you can help ward off some of the most pressing withdrawal symptoms, as in some of the depression, nausea an panic attacks, and will help restore your burnt out serotonin receptors at a faster rate.
Piracetam- Piracetam is great as a general supplement used daily in the treatment of drug/alcohol addiction. It can help to make important changes to your brain, and can help with some of the damage that ecstasy may have caused.
SSRI's (in extreme cases)-In extreme cases, SSRI's, MAOI inhibitors, and/or NRI's can greatly help alleviate some of the more hellish withdrawal symptoms from heavy MDMA abuse.
Final Thoughts
Keep in mind that what is going on during ecstasy withdrawal is not you..and that it is instead just that, withdrawal. You will feel terrible, both mentally and physically, but it will pass, and there is a better life on the other side. Until then, good luck, you're probably going to need it.
