The only noticeable sort to medium term effects that seriously effected me was sleep paralysis, tho at the point I used to experience this I was taking atleast 2g 6 nights out of a week, the paralysis only used to kick in 2-3 days after stopping taking it and could be cured by having just 1 line a few hours before bed. The sleep paralysis it’s self was a truly horrible experience for those of you who don’t know basically 5-10 mins after falling asleep your brain wakes up and in most cases you see a disturbing image, in my case it used to be 4 hooded figures standing over my bed, during this time quite often I would also have an out of body experience where I would actually see myself lying on my bed or sofa and the whole
Room in perfect detail. During all of this I would be unable to move or even shout/scream, according to my partner all she would hear is a very slight murmur despite me trying to shout as loud as I could, after 3-5 mins I would then be able to snap out of this.
After some research I learnt this can happen due to depleted levels of seretonin, in the end I had to resort to antidepressants to control my seretonin levels so I could reduce the amount of m-kat I was taking.
You could get sleep paralys after any long period of sleep deprivation … even sober. Adding in strong stimulents will make it worce.
I used to get it after taking MDMA too regularly or for prolonged periods of time so that tie’s in with the seratonin theory somewhat as well as just pure lack of sleep. I’ve had it with just lack of sleep b4 myself aswell so know this can be a factor, mostlikely as your brain hasn’t had the rest needed to replenish seratonin supplys (amongst other things).
