Headache persists after taking ecstasy?

Question

About a week ago i rolled for the third time (I think). It was intense and I was having a nice time until i started coming down. I started to get a headache and nausea while I was coming down, eventually culminating in an explosive migraine and continuous vomiting. I told my Mom and went to the ER when i got home that night, mostly because I was worried about the migraine. At the ER i got a saline drip and felt fine. I'm still left with this dull headache that never goes away unless I'm about to go to sleep. Any advice or info?

I was also in a car accident 10 months ago and got a concussion, but previous times rolling have never left my head feelling like this.

Answer 1

sell me?

Answer 2

I think you need to look into some other options.  Frankly if you're having problems secondary to your drug use and/or misuse, I don't think you're going to find a whole lot of sympathy.  

Answer 3

Headaches are caused by the pounding of the blood through the capillaries in the brain.  For whatever reason, the capillaries become wider and the blood pressure from your own heart beat is what causes the "pounding" feeling.  

Ecstasy is a stimulant, thus it would actually make a headache worse.  In the future, perhaps your doctor can prescribe a heavy pain reliever such as 800 MG Ibuprofen, but don't use stimulants to get rid of pain.  Good luck.

Answer 4

Wow, your mom needs to have you admitted to rehab asap before you kill yourself or someone else with this reckless behavior. I wouldn't want you anywhere near my kid.

Answer 5

You may have gotten a bad pill that was mixed with something else,  and dehydration could be a factor too. you may have done too much as well, you didn't say how much you did though. It is true that Ecstasy can cause brain damage but not in the ways that everyone else has said, look at this website it has a lot of info on it. I think if your headach persists I would see a doctor and if you are going to do x again get a test kit they aren't that expensive when your talking about your safety, Be safe and good luck. drink lots of fluids.

Answer 6

my advice is stop taking ecstacy it will only make everything worse, for your headaches, your body period, and your life. take a bath, relax, and sleep.  

Answer 7

You shouldnt take stuff that rotts your brain!  

Answer 8

Congratulations!  You are now a drug addict.  You are addicted to Ecstasy, and you are craving more.  What part of it being an illegal narcotic do you not understand?  The migrane and vomiting will continue until you go through rehab and stay clean for the rest of your life.

Answer 9

Yeah Yeah, Ecstasy is bad......I am and have now been out of that seen for 8 yrs. I can say the after effects of "rolling" have ranged from headaches to nausea to insomnia to cramps to well pretty much feeling like i have been run over by a truck. Just stop doing it it can lead to Parkinson's disease, memory loss, infertility and many more thing still unknown. And what does a saline drip have to do with anything, that's just fluid to help you not be dehydrated. You'll probably be fine for now but like me in 10 or 20 yrs we are going to have to pay for our stupidity!!

Answer 10

Stay off the drugs.

No seriously, that's my advice. Car accidents? Ecstasy? It's wonder you're not in a morgue already.

Answer 11

To be perfectly honest with you, that is what you get for dropping illegal drugs.  

Answer 12

you could try getting a massage to ease the headache and relieve the tension in yoru neck. (these factors all induce headaches) you could have been stressing your neck muscles while you were "rolling" and didnt realize it. my second piece of advice (coming from someone who has experienced all that c**p) is to not do drugs. Seriously, you may think its fun now (and it is) and in the long run its not worth it. when you do stop witht he drugs and you look back on it, you may not regret it, but you will wish you never did it.

keep in mind this is coming from someone who has been there and done that. Im not coming down on you, cause everyone has to make their own choices.

Answer 13

Attempt to increase you fluid intake sounds like you might be dehydrated. Think of it this way , its your bodies way of saying don't do that **** again ! Its kind of like when you drink too much and have a hangover. Difference in this is ecstasy causes damage to the brain that can not be reversed I would go see the doctor you may need an MRI or pet scan to see if there is damage. So just think about this . Might be fun now but in the long run not so much. Good luck hope everything turns out alright.

Answer 14

you need to go back to the doctor and get a cat scan. most ecstasy is not pure and every time you roll you could be rolling off a completely different mix of drugs which is one of the reasons it's so dangerous.  

Answer 15

You're playing with fire here. After getting a concussion, you have to be careful what you take. Drugs play with your brain (you should know this by now), which is where your concussion happens to have occurred. That's why you're still getting the headache. I don't know how long the concussion affects you after it happens, but you should probably stop taking drugs for a while, or at least ask your doctor what you can do to keep the headaches from persisting (get a catscan because this will tell you everything you need to know about how your brain is affected by the drugs and how the concussion plays a part in your pain). At least then you'll be prepared for the next one.

Answer 16

STOP ROLLING SEEK HELP! Ectasy eats holes in your brain which could be a good reason why your head still hurts, you may need to have an MRI done which in other words is a catscan. Ectasy very deadly stuff everyones body is different just cause everyone else does it does not mean you can do it, Dont get caught up with addiction which sounds like your well on your way, coming from someone who knows it will completely take your life over, focus on a career seek some 12 step meetings there is alot of support out there what is more important a pill that alters your mood or your life?  what did you expect from everyone a round of applause dont post this question if you dont want the stay of drus spiel!

Answer 17

knowing the concequences

=

your own fault. and you get what you deserve.
