The strange case of the man who took 40,000 ecstasy pills in nine years The Guardian (UK) ^ | April 4, 2006 | by David McCandless Posted on Monday, April 03, 2006 9:45:26 PM by aculeus
Doctors from London University have revealed details of what they believe is the largest amount of ecstasy ever consumed by a single person. Consultants from the addiction centre at St George's Medical School, London, have published a case report of a British man estimated to have taken around 40,000 pills of MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, over nine years. The heaviest previous lifetime intake on record is 2,000 pills. Though the man, who is now 37, stopped taking the drug seven years ago, he still suffers from severe physical and mental health side-effects, including extreme memory problems, paranoia, hallucinations and depression. He also suffers from painful muscle rigidity around his neck and jaw which often prevents him from opening his mouth. The doctors believe many of these symptoms may be permanent.
The man, known as Mr A in the report in the scientific journal Psychosomatics, started using ecstasy at 21. For the first two years his use was an average of five pills per weekend. Gradually this escalated until he was taking around three and a half pills a day. At the peak, the man was taking an estimated 25 pills every day for four years. After several severe collapses at parties, Mr A decided to stop taking ecstasy. For several months, he still felt he was under the influence of the drug, despite being bedridden.
Hallucinations
His condition deteriorated and he began to experience recurrent tunnel vision and other problems including hallucinations, paranoia and muscle rigidity. "He came to us after deciding that he couldn't go on any more," said Dr Christos Kouimtsidis, the consultant psychiatrist at St George's Medical School in Tooting who treated him for five months. "He was having trouble functioning in everyday life."

I wonder how many other drugs there are that you could take 40,000 pills and not be dead?

I wouldn't expect anything less after taking that much over such a prolonged period of time.

I know a few people that've definitely taken a few thousand,at least.
Not so much anymore because they've gone mad for mephedrone but it wasn't unusual for them to go through 20/30 in one night/day. A load of those would be bzp too which is even worse.

Yup,now that they can get mephedrone products in shops and the comedown isn't as bad as mdma,they've gone off the fucking walls with it.
They were never that bad on pills. Now,one guy in particular,he spends pretty much all his money on it and is regularly up for 2/3 days at a time.
It's sickening.

I predict he'll be a nervous wreck in a couple of years. And much worse.
A casualty. That is if he lives that long.

Do you have a source dude stating that opiates cause damage to the liver?

Wow, what a fucking retard. If you dedicate a decade of your life to apparently doing nothing more than eating rolls, you qualify as RETARDED. What a waste of a life!!
Oh yea and it's amazing he is not dead. The fact that this kind of abuse did NOT kill him must be some sort of testament to how hard it is to DIE from mdma. Or whatever the fuck his rolls were.
I have never done MDMA before and never plan to, btw

Congratulations you hit 420 posts! And don't rant on MDMA because of morons like this. I know the crowd that uses this drug are for the most part suburban white kids and imbeciles but go read up on Alex Shulgin... MDMA is pretty useful tool for self exploration (MDA has changed my life and it got me off amphetamines) and MDMA is pretty fun once in a while.

MDMA in moderation, I.E a couple times a year, from a good reliable source doesn't really leave anything to be worried about. In moderation it can be a very powerful tool for self exploration and well being. but 40,000+ i expected this post to say he was on life support ready to croak lol.
