Think I may have been sold something other than MDMA, input appreciated

Needed some gear last minute for a festival this weekend, so I ordered from three vendors on Agora to make sure I got one of them on time. It tested purple to black in about 20 seconds with marquis, and this was probably my 10th mdma purchase on the darknet so I figured all was good.

My friend and I dropped 200mg saturday night, and the effects were mixed from good, to terrible. The first hour and a half wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad either. To summarize what we felt:

These effects were pretty scary, we didn't panic too much as we're usually pretty chill on drugs but the thing was the festival I was at was 108 degrees on saturday and we personally witnessed multiple people fainting and seizing on the ground due to drugs/heat exhaustion, so to think I took something bad has made me weary of wanting to do MDMA again.

At this point before pointing fingers at vendors I really just want to figure out what this could have been if not MDMA. I've never had these sort of issues with any drugs before. It should be noted that the night before we didn't sleep (we did end up taking about an hour nap at the festival in the grass before dropping) but we were well hydrated and had been eating well. I've rolled plenty of times on low sleep with no issues.

Thoughts?

edit: test kit is a little over a year old, not sure if them going bad/expiring is BS or not

edit 2: again the sleep deprivation is of course something to note, but honestly we were feeling great when we were completely sober right before we rolled as we had just napped. also my standard doses have always been between 150-200mg, it's nothing new for me dosage wise. i don't think it was the strength.

Then it was MDMA, or at least had a lot of MDMA in it. not every roll is going to be the exact same. Also, normally when marquis starts to go bad (IE expire) you'll notice a red tinge on the fringe of the test.

200mg

we were pretty uncoordinated.

slow

we were very, very tweaky

Sounds like a higher dose of MDMA to me. 200mg of good stuff will often give you some pretty severe jitteriness at those doses, while also sedating you quite a bit: not wanting to move, talk, etc. At least in my experience, you want it below 150 to avoid that.

Also:

It should be noted that the night before we didn't sleep

Yeah, it SHOULD be noted. People pretend like not sleeping is no biggie. It fucks you up real quick. The stereotype that "meth makes you crazy" is largely because, if you stay up for a few days, you get really weird. I recall reading in my psychology textbook that after 24hrs without sleep, it's "normal" to start hearing voices calling your name from other rooms, etc. It goes downhill from there. Sleep is a HUGE factor for most drugs, because it does so much in your brain.

TL;DR: Sleep more, take a little less MDMA.

You just dosed too high, lower doses (around 120mg) are way more stimulating.
