- MDMA comedown symptoms include trouble sleeping, low appetite, changes to heart rate and blood pressure, through to memory problems, anxiety and depression.
- An MDMA comedown can last several hours or many days. This depends on your physiology, how much MDMA you use, the strength and if you’ve mixed MDMA with other drugs or alcohol.
- If you’re experiencing severe physical or mental symptoms after taking MDMA, please contact your doctor, NHS 111 or emergency services for urgent medical help. This includes if you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts or intention.
MDMA Addiction Treatment
If you’ve had enough of MDMA comedowns, contact Help Me Stop for a treatment assessment. We can help you to break free from addiction to MDMA, other drugs, and alcohol too.
We provide affordable, effective and confidential drug addiction treatment in our Online Rehab (available worldwide), and face-to-face treatment in our London Rehab centre and in our Hampshire Rehab.
For people who require a physical detox and rehab, we can help with that too. MDMA is not usually physically addictive by itself, but if you’re using it with other drugs including alcohol, then we will assess whether a physical detox is needed.

Help with Addiction to MDMA
Common MDMA comedown symptoms
In an MDMA comedown, you are likely to be suffering one or more of the following symptoms:
- Low or no appetite
- Insomnia or disturbed sleep
- Changes to heart rate and blood pressure
- Tiredness
- Irritability
- Memory issues
- Concentration problems
- Anxiety
- Depression
Any combination of these symptoms can be tough to manage. Feelings of anxiety or depression only make an MDMA comedown feel harder and more unpredictable. Most importantly, if your MDMA comedown symptoms are severe, please contact your doctor or the emergency services for urgent medical assistance. They are not concerned with the legality of MDMA, they just want to provide medical help to make sure you are okay. You can also dial the NHS 111 non-emergency number if you have questions. They can help you understand what you are going through and advise you on whether or not you should seek further medical attention.

How does an MDMA comedown affect people?
Depending on many factors, your comedown can last a few hours or even days. The comedown from MDMA is varied because the drug affects people in different ways. It also depends on the quantities and strength of MDMA you use, how much time you’ve been using MDMA and whether you’re using other drugs and alcohol with MDMA. It is also impossible to know the concentration of illicit drugs you’ve taken.
Essentially, everyone reacts differently to MDMA and no comedown is ever predictable. Whilst using MDMA, the drug stimulates the release and inhibits the uptake of feel-good chemicals in the brain including serotonin and dopamine. This increases artificially your energy and activity levels, as well as feelings of happiness or euphoria. As MDMA wears off and you’re coming down, the brain enters a state of depletion of your natural dopamine and serotonin levels, which is why most people experience some level of anxiety or depression as your brain re-adjusts.
On top of this, the drug can cause sleep problems and dehydration, which further increases the severity of your MDMA comedown. Lack of sleep can worsen irritability and anxiety while dehydration can make your feel worn down or cause many other physical and mental health problems.
If you want to stop using MDMA, then please get in touch with Help Me Stop now to discuss drug addiction help.
