Is it better to take X with some food in your stomach?

I'm a relatively new user and have been taking pills on a pretty empty stomach. My friends told me that was the way to do it to maximize the roll. So basically I wouldn't eat for about 6-7 hours before. The other night I wasn't planning on rolling but decided to since I found out I wouldn't have to work the next day. So I took 1 pill after eating a chicken and rice bowl about 90 minutes beforehand. Oddly I started feeling the high coming about 35 minutes in, when before I took the exact same pills (on two occasions) it took a little over an hour to feel it coming up. It also felt stronger and a little better than usual. So I was just wondering if this is atypical or do other people prefer taking with some food in your system? Everytime I read user reports on PillReports it seems people prefer to take them on an empty stomach but after my last experience I'm gonna try and eat a little more food and see what happens. Oh yeah, I also had a slight feeling like I was going to throw up about 30 minutes in which I guess is a drawback to taking x when full-- I never had that kind of throw up feeling before.

My boyfriend told me not to eat before doing it ... for a couple hours. Says the same thing your friends said. I have never had that experience with food.
 
MDMA kicks in faster if you haven't eaten anything - that's a fact. I prefer having a light meal like a salad or something a few hours before dropping. I try to avoid 'heavy' meals like steaks/burgers or w/e.
 
Some people get nauseous on the come up so it's not a really good idea for them. Besides that it just takes a little longer to come on. I like to eat before I roll, nothing big though.
 
It all varies from person to person, some people expierence bad nausea while others don't. If you expierence no nausea then taking MDMA on a empty stomach will surely allow you to feel a quicker onset. However, eating something will allow your stomach to digest on something rather than just a pill.


P.S. Do remember that MDMA suppresses hunger and if you choose to eat nothing before ingesting it, you will most likely go a fairly long time without eating anything. Just a piece of information for thought :)
 
Exactly, you want something in your body. If you ate nothing all day the roll would be worse, food does the body good. Ideally, I'll eat dinner around 6-7PM and start rolling around 11 maybe. Never a huge meal before, but never a completely empty stomach.
 
This varies between people - I personally think if your going raving that you should try and eat some carbs/protein nothing huge or heavy just a light meal a few hours prior to popping.

This way you have enough fuel onboard but not too much that you feel sick or it delays the roll etc.
 
Well empty stomach does make it hit you faster and maybe a tad harder. But having a light meal in your stomach is always good because some people get nauseous on the come up or in the middle of their roll, it's happened to me a few times.
 
^this

the one time i didn't have something in my stomach before dropping happened to be the one time i got sick =/ pretty embarrassing.

my advice would be to eat a big, healthy breakfast...followed by a big healthy lunch. then have a snack 2-3 hours before you plan on taking your stuff. always works for me! =)

Click to expand...

So you mean, you didn't eat once, and you threw up??

I have taken M four times and I threw up while I was coming up the first three times. The fourth time, I just felt sick. Didn't actually throw up though. My boyfriend advised me to not eat before it. Maybe I should start?
 
if you're gonna have anything in there try to keep it to fruits & veggies, and maybe some ginger :)
 
@llama - yes...the one time i didn't eat a big lunch/snack before the event was the one time i got sick on the come up
 
If you take mdma by swallowing it, having a full stomach will slow the rate of absorption. A full stomach will not have such a great effect if you use an different route of administration, such as snorting or anal (plugging).

Consideration should nonetheless be given to the general state of your brain chemistry.

What we know is that serotonin levels in the brain reach a peak about 4 to 5 hours after consuming a meal with a high level of carbs. A protein meal does not have this effect.

Ideally therefore you should eat a pasta meal (or something else with a predominance of carbs) about 3 to 4 hours before you roll. This will result in the serotonin levels in your brain peaking at the same time as the high takes hold.
 
Personally I don't eat before rolls. I find that if you eat before it, since it will take longer to break down, it will come on more calm, and you'll have that like really relaxed feel and you'll just be bonding with everyone and such, having deep conversations, but if you don't eat, it happens quicker so the come-up is harder but the peak is a lot more intense so it's more of the "OH MY GOD I LOVE LIFE RIGHT NOW LETS GO FOR A RUN AND SMOKE A PACK OF MENTHOLS!" and you'll be tripping balls/having an amazing time.

However the first option is obviously more safe because it's better to have something in your system. Your body really needs to be healthy to have a safe roll.
