So i have this problem and i was wondering if you guys could offer any insight.... A little history first. Around 2 years ago i bought 2.5 grams of 100% pure uncut Molly. This shit was the dreamiest most empathogenic mdma i have ever came across. this shit is so pure i even fell asleep on the peak once. So i did molly about once a month for half a year. When i was on molly my face would usually be extremely flushed. I came to associate this feeling with rolling and i kinda even enjoyed it. It has been 8 months since the last time i did molly as ive been trying to not lose the magic. the other day i decided to take some molly so i took one of my 100mg caps out of my bag. as soon as my fingers touched the gel cap(not even the mdma) my face became extremely flushed as if i had taken mdma. i found the feeling unpleasant and didnt end up taking the cap. Now even just thinking about taking mdma can make my face flush. does anyone have any similar experiences? or reasons why just seeing or thinking about mdma can make my face flush. thanks trichome
Never thought too hard about it, but it makes my face feel, possibly look flushed also. Never bothered me.
Well it was definitely mental when you pulled it out the bag and your face turned red when just holding the gel cap... but when I got flushed it was just because I was overheated with the overall bliss from MDMA. Even if I was drinking something cold I'd stay flushed.
One of my fav things to do it get ice cube and run them over my face when I get hot on E. You can make them disappear in other places too...
thats a junkie reaction--seen it heroin addicts who would puke as soon as they scored--id puke as soon as i smelled it cooking--you get a face rush cas u associate face rush with e--btw your right pure powder like that gives u a face rush---its mental triggering a physical reaction---common reaction with some powerful drugs---dont know if it ever goes away ill still puke if i smell heroin and i havnt done any in a year---so yeah ive had face rush evertime with pure e --but didnt have enough to associate face rush with e id get heart palpatations when i scored id get so excited---i dont know if its something to worry about---just quit if its getting scary for u---peace whatever u do
So i just sucked it up and took the mdma, everything was fine, im not even sure what i was worried about. I found that i felt way more flushed before i took the mdma than when i was on the mdma, which i find wierd. you guys are right, i guess it was just a mental reaction. trichome
The whole first year I was taking e (on a monthly basis) I would get butterflies to the point where I felt nauseous, every time I read about or thought about taking it! There's just something SO exciting about it!! Eventually I got used to it and now it rarely happens so you'll probably grow out of it (though if you're only taking it every 8 months you probably won't )
Possibly just the anticipation of the roll gets your heart-rate (blood pressure as well) going, causing your face to flush. That would be my assumption.
It's classical conditioning in psychology. You (or brain rather) associate MDMA (stimulus) with facial flushing (response), so you don't even need to take it anymore to have that effect because you have conditioned yourself to react that way to the stimulus. You simply thinking about it and causing your face to flush seems a bit extreme though.
