How Long Does MDMA Remain In The Body?
Question: I took some bad MDMA in XXXXXXX 2012. (the party drug called Molly) And it probably wasn't MDMA. I dont know what i ingested. The drugs were put in a water bottle and i then drank the water. I've been seeing trails ever since, and cloudiness around lights, and noises are louder, and my heart races when I wake up from a nap. what can I do about my mistake?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
The symptoms you describe are not related to MDMA use 3 years ago. MDMA remains in the system for a maximum of a few days. Effects certainly would not last several years.
I would visit an optometrist or opthalmologist, as the visual symptoms you describe could be retinal, lens, or cornea abnormalities.
As for your heart racing, is this associated with anxiety? It may be that you are having anxiety or panic attacks.
But the bottom line is that MDMA is not causing this issue. Take a look at other potential causes such as those I suggest above.

I was reading about MDMA today. Credible sources are saying that MDMA is usually composed of these other drugs. Methylone, MDPV, 4-MEC, 4-MMC, Pentedrone and MePP. In fact, less than twenty percent of "MDMA" on the street actually contains MDMA. I very well could have put some of these other things in my system. And due to my side effects I've been having, something tells me that I did not take MDMA AT ALL. Is it possible that one of these other substances if taken in too high of a dose as I did can cause these side effects ?

Detailed Answer:
It is certainly possible you could have ingested any number of chemicals. Street drugs are unregulated and often contain a plethora of toxic elements. MDMA, ecstasy, XXXXXXX -- these are all variable in their content and nothing is guaranteed. However, I can say with certainty that none of these elements stays in the system this long. They all invariably wash out in a number of days to weeks (at the extreme end). So none of these substances would account for your current symptoms.

Medical science is not based on anecdotes of single people, who are subject to many kinds of bias and uncertainty in diagnosis. It is based on analyzing the pharmacokinetics of drugs and effects of those drugs on a population level, testing thousands of people. It is simply not possible that your symptoms are related to ecstasy or related substances that you took three years ago. You need to visit an opthalmologist and consider more extensive psychiatric consultation to address potential anxiety.
