How to treat my damaged brain from heavy ecstasy (MDMA) use?

Hi guys,

I am going to be honest with you. I believe it is the best way to get the best answers.

I have used lots of ecstasy (MDMA). Because of that, my brain is heavily damaged.

I am looking for any kind of natural vitamins or naturopathic remedies to cure from the ecstasy use.

I am not looking for the 5-htp or L-Tryptophan, because they are just the precursers of the serotonin. They just make serotonin, but not cure my brain.

Yes, I am looking for something to re-grow my anxons, brain cells, etc.

I am not looking for the chemical meds like the SSRIs or other meds.

I am only looking for the natural remedies or homeopathic remedies, vitamins, etc.

Can you help me?

Thank you very much.

I am the perfect person to answer your question! I did ecstasy every day for two years, and every now and then before that. I put myself into rehab and have been clean for a year. I didnt feel as smart as I used to, and my memory was definitly affected. I have tried the SSRI meds, and none seem to work.
Check out this website, I think it will be of some use. Me personally, i take Ginkgo Biloba and Vitamin B6 for my memory. It took about 2 months of daily taking to notice a difference. (Try to not forget, vitamins are not x pills where they kick in 20 minutes after you take them! lol , it takes days, months, to see difference) I also take Omega 3 fatty acids, which is brain food. It has been proven to help the brain function normally and run smoothely. i also take Vitamin C 1000mg daily to repair immune system, and 1000 i.u. of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is a miracle vitamin. They are finding so many great things about vitamin d. They even see that if taken daily, it attacks cancer cells before they spread. And also as you know, ecstasy does do permanent brain damage, especially if you are older. If you are young, your brain could possible regenerate and repair itself. If you are older and once your brain stops growing (at around age 19) theres only so much you can do. Good luck! Best wishes!

You need to see a Dr.!

Oh you silly boy. If you were doing mass quantities of X, I doubt your brain was functioning very well to begin with. Darwin's theory proves itself again! From what I understand the damage is permanent. You will most likely HAVE to be on meds to get any relief.

Very serious stuff. I hope you've stopped trying to kill yourself.
You NEED to replace and balance the seratonin you messd up with chemicals! .. geez no problem taking E but you won't take something helpful!..
Smartin up .. thats the damaged part of your brain talking .. Go to your Doctor and do what he says.
and STOP using that poison!

Ok this might sound a little stupid but is true. eating more bananas helps your seratonin levels so get out there and eat more of them. oh but not to many as they are also high in potasium (sp?) and thats not always good for you in large amounts. take care lisa

Im sorry to tell you this, and I am not trying to be unkind at all, but you knew this when you took your first hit of the stuff. The only thing you can do now is to advise other persons your age to NOT DO IT. Ther is NO way to reverse the damage, there is NO piill, NO therapy, No nothing...are you satisfied now ? when will you kids LEARN ????

Supplements that assist in brain function are;


Omega 3 fatty acids

hydration

proper balance of sugars, fats and proteins

Nuts

Glandular support

like Raw adrenal or raw petuitary... It is a tincture you get at a health food store that you put under your tongue.

Exersize and healing supplements that support tissue regeneration and neuropathway redirection.

Your brain will relearn eventually. It will naturally learn to bypass what routes and pathways that you have destroyed and re focus and re direct themselves into other directions...

You can liken it to someone getting their scalp torn off and replaced via surgery... All of the nerves have to re leran what feels what... It is common after such a surgery for the patient to scratch their forehead, and actually feel it at the nape of their neck or their ear or whereever...

It is just a matter of getting used to what you have done and training your brain to function again.

I don't know to what extreme you have done this damage? Your moods however may be somewhat effected for years? As neurotransmitters that control Dopamine and Serotonin, when over used and abused take brain cells with them in the hundreds of thousands.

Im sorry youu have done this to yourself. Just don't give up hope. Your brain is the greatest of all the machines in existence. If you want to get better... You will.

Just be patient.

Water and rest. Do not attempt to treat yourself using medication. Just plain water and rest. If you are experiencing tremors or you are unable to focus your sight, go immediately to Emergency Room.

I have always heard and read that brain damage caused by use of that drug is permanent. I wish you luck though!
