SWIM has been experiencing some similar symptoms. SWIM is an 18 yr old Male. Healthy up until this incident.

Over the new years SWIM took a high dose of E. The next day SWIM started a prescription of Augmentin (amoxicillin & clavulin). SWIM did not think there would be any adverse effects. SWIM noted that SWIM felt like SWIM was still being affected by the E for up to a week after, and even felt the foggyness for almost a month and still some what today.

Symptoms SWIM experiences:

Pressure headaches - feels like the right side of SWIM's head/eye are about 10 ft in front of the left side of SWIM's head.

Severe sense of unbalance.

Numbness in the right portion of SWIM's R side of head, R arm, and 4th and 5th fingers.

Weakness in SWIM's right leg and arm.

Burning in SWIM's R fore arm.

Odd pain/weak sensation in R wrist and R groin and R knee.

Odd pain in neck/ lymph nodes area in R groin and R neck.

Blurred vision out of SWIM's R eye.

Slight lower back discomfort and pain.

R shoulder discomfort.

Also SWIM's R eye is a little bit more dilated than the left.

On top of that SWIM's overall vision has been affected for lights and shadows really bother SWIM. (street lights have a star like aura and it is hard for SWIM to focus on computer screens).

SWIM symptoms have been somewhat bell shaped or parabolic for SWIM has been noting that SWIM has been feeling a little better as every day comes along, except for the vision and newly developed back discomfort.

SWIM used to habitually smoke MJ. That has now stopped considering SWIM fears for SWIM's life.

SWIM met with an optometrist who can come to no conclusions and says SWIM's eyes look perfectly normal.

SWIM has met with a Neuro who has requested an MR of SWIM’s head, however SWIM is located in Canada and is American and is doing SWIM’s best to expedite the process by hopefully going back to the states in two weeks.

Neuro does not believe symptoms are due to the mix of augmenting and E, however I have done much research for SWIM and have found that amoxicillin inhibits one of they enzymes directly involved with breaking down MDMA.

All blood tests for liver function, white blood cell count, and HIV came back normal... along with a couple others I just cannot remember the name of the tests.

SWIM has a meeting with an Internist tmrw morning.

SWIM is not a regular MDMA or E user SWIM has probably used it 5 times maximum before this incident.

I am curious if anyone has any information for SWIM is ******** SWIM’s pants, and is looking for as much help as possible. I am very concerned for SWIM, he is a very good friend.

SWIM has learned SWIM’s lesson and is doing SWIM’s best to take care of SWIM’s body.

Please reply.

I had to decipher SWIM - is it "some one who isn't me" ??

And I thought E was Vitamin E , but after looking it up it must be (Ecstasy- MDMA)? correct?

I don't know how much help we will be for that kind of drug/reaction/aftermath scenario.

But if the symptoms started soon after the use , I would think they were related somehow.

I suppose you already did searches about E itself -

Yes.

SWIM refers to - Someone who isn't me.

E - Ecstasy

Any thoughts?

Thank you for the speedy reply.

A word of caution. I beacame very distracted reading your post,
The overuse of the term SWIM about 30-40 times in one post just 'turned me off'.
I didn't care, because the post was to difficult to decipher, not knowing the meaning of the terms you used. Even after the following post deciphered it for me, I still found it difficult to read/understand.
Have pity on those you wish to ask for help.....please?
Make your needs known in terms that are easier to understand.

I am confused too but the only thought I have if you have already seen a neurologist and he/she preformed tests and if not get another neuo opinion but to call a doctor who deals with people who have drug issues and ask if they have heard of similar happening and have any direction for you. Could this be some kind of withdrawl cause how long have you been off? Sorry I wish I had more answers I thought the E was vitamin E so I am clueless.

John smith, i have the exact same problem, word for word. Please tell me "swim" has found out what is wrong with him. Ive had mri, cat scan, blood work, heart tests everything came back good uet i am still experiencing all of thise symptoms. Please help!

Just a reminder.... this is an old thread, and therefore there may be no answers to your post.
