Admit it, how often do you go pilling?

Ok... i notice that for a harm minimisation site, there seems to be one hell of a lot of people who go pilling a lot more than once a month... and it seems to be expected that newcomers will pill their guts off for a few months and then lose the magic, have a break and then resume in something of a more sensible manner...
i go pilling once a month, if that... and i've only gone twice so far... i'm relatively new to the scene and i just would like to get an idea of how often you go pilling...
so how often do you go? and do you pre/post load?
P.S: I'm NOT A FUCKING NARC!!!

I used to go pilling every weekend for a good solid 6 months. Due to the fact that I was leaving for a 4 month world trip and assumed you couldnt get pills overseas, so we ate like the cookie monster every weekend, and hits sydneys clubs....
this year my friends and i have slowed down...my aim is once a month....but lets face it...every 2 weeks, it depends whats on! I try to save it for a special DJ event, or if my friends having their bday, not just for the fuck of it. I had to stop munching every weekend, starting to lose my memory in bits & pieces, and I was a moody bitch thats for sure! Now, as much as I loooove it, I try to save it for a big thing, then blow my mind to pieces, yippeeee ...

At most every 2 weeks.
I suppose on average once every 3 weeks.
I stopped pre/post loading when i ran out of 5htp a few months ago.
Come downs have been noticibily harsher, doh.

plazma, kudos to you for limiting yourself to once a month from the outset. I think it's fairly common for people to go through a binge period when they first discover pills. Heck, it's pretty fucking amazing, so naturally you want to repeat the experience. Also at first (the "honeymoon period") you don't notice the negative effects from overuse that much. Hence it seems like you aren't doing any damage, so you continue ..
Anyways .. first couple of months I went pilling almost every weekend, sometimes dropping Saturday and Sunday. Then I found bluelight/erowid and started reading up on how mdma works. At this point I was feeling a bit mentally cloudy and pretty much spent the entire week thinking about the coming weekend.
Since then, I'd probably average about every three weeks. I've had periods where I would pill every week for a few weeks but just off a half (don't do that anymore).
Now the absolute shortest gap I'd have between pills would be 2 weeks. 3 weeks or better still a month+ break is preferable for me. I feel fine after 2 weeks but like to give the noggin' a bit of a rest, and give myself a few weeks of feeling sharp.
So despite what I'd read, I did have periods where I pilled too often. Sometimes it was an impulse, an unplanned spur of the moment decision. Othertimes .. well, some mistakes you have to make yourself and then learn from them.
I don't get bad comedowns or terrible Tuesdays thankfully (except off a particularly messy pill). I *never* have more than 2 pills. I don't pre or post-load currently but have some 5-HTP and ALA on order. I am unsure about using prozac.
 
Yah i think youre right, i think u get into them heaps fpr the first few months (or even year) then begin to realise (once again ) that theres more to life so take a break and then take it easy, maybe then only once every month or so. That's what i found anyway.
Im quite an active person, and at foirst i was ok going out big on w'ends (every weekend or two) but i found my progress level with my sport activities was slowing down so i took it more easy.
I guess its all about suystainability - u wear youreself out
 
thanks for the replys peeps...

my aim for pilling has been always to keep it for special events and stuff... rather than being just something i do every other weekend or whatever...

I couldnt agree more with Iuro....
Your lifestyle with pilling is EXACTLY the same as mine. Everytime I was reading every sentence you wrote, it was exactly what I do. Give myself 2-3 or idealy a month break....2 pills very max, yet usually 1 pill. All the things you said sounds like you are at the same level as me, and when it comes to pilling, you have the same attitude.
Dont get me wrong, I love it, but I love it tooo much. The only thing is, I hate the side-effects..the worst is getting up on a monday morning, I had no motivation and as I work in finance, I was a hazy mess lacking memory making embarassing mistakes. Not that I am dissing pilling, just stating when I did it sooo frequently last year, these were the effects that it had on me...that made me make a choice to slow down, do it every few weeks, so I have something to look forward to, and build myself up for it!!!!!!
I couldnt honestly say though, when I am floating around, dancing to the best tunes, off my trolley,...nothing beats that feeling I tell you....

i try to limit it to big events...but sometimes i dont
smile.gif

minimum time between pilling is 2 weeks
average during uni is around 4-5 weeks
average during holidays is 1-2 weeks
i have a big break after about 4 or 5 times going out - like im on a 9 week break *crosses fingers* at the moment.
wait - is GHB, speed, or acid considered a drug? can i use those and still claim to be on a break?

my rule is once a month, but it can be broken with relative consequences...
i did break it and say "fuck the consequences" recently, rolling at mystic, one week later at eckythump and then two weeks later at godspeed...
but then i'm now on a break of 8 weeks duration till utopia.

I try to keep it to a minimum of two weeks and have been very successful until last holidays... damn ppl being a bad influence on me *ahem*TTC*ahem*

.
But I'm gonna be on a break for a while.
 
I try to make it once every 2-3 weeks but its so much fun and theres always something on or some big event or hell theres a extra bickcie lying around so it usualy turns out to be 2ic every 2-4 weeks what can I say I have no will power ;P
 
ecka... was that implying that i'm a totally clueless impressionable teenage newbie who got into 'the scene' because "it's like so cool man..."???
if so... piss off! i don't watch tv... however if my sleep deprived mind took that the wrong way... slap me where i stand...

I don't PLAN to pill at regular intervals such as once a month because that kills the spontanaity, but i do *try* to moderate how often i take pills, because it does get to a stage where you're doing it all the time and it's not fun anymore, your head's gone to jelly and your memory is completely shot!
I generally take pills at events, so my pill intake basically revolves around what's on, but pills at home with friends has also proven to be a lot of fun lately and so i've been doing it quite often recently, and as a result my head is feeling a bit worn and that tells me i need a bit of a rest!
But anyway, i've never really had a routine of taking pills . . . but when i first started about 2 years ago i took them every week for ages and then i realised that you can't keep going like that, eventually you burn out, so i took break for a few months and then i decided it was better to take them on 1 occasion each month, so theres time to recover etc but then i found eventually i was just having these binges once of month of like several pills which if you'd spread it out i might as well have taken them every week anyway! After new years this year i didn't touch a pill for 4 months, since i had such a horrid comedown, and that gave me a lot of time to gain appreciation for the drug again, and for other things too, i learnt to go to events and enjoy myself just as much without pills, which i think is something a lot of people who started taking pills and going to raves at the same time can't do . . . but anyway now that i've started taking them again i don't really plan, i mite take pills 2 weeks in a row or i might not take any for 6 weeks, it doesn't matter because i know what my head can take!
Basically YOU just have to know your own limits and act accordingly, otherwise you learn the hard way, Pills can become very ugly things unless you treat them with respect, but that applies to anything in life really.

too much. That's why I am taking a break. Which is also why I post so much on this bloody site.
Too much dude..... too much.
 
I don't.
This is my opinion. Most people will probably not agree, but please remember I'm talking about myself here, not you - everyone is free to do what they want.
I've had 5 pills in my time, starting back in November last year, and ending March this year. Each experience was different, and each taught me some extremely valuable lessons. But I don't need them any more. The way I look at it, why pay good money to see a big DJ, or experience the rave atmosphere, when as soon as the pill kicks in you usually don't give a shit where you are - you're just lost in the moment.
Personally, I think that you can get far more out of the drug in the home/private environment. And even then, it should be used sparingly to get full benefits.
I guess it just depends why you use it. I'll do it again - don't know when though, most likely not in the near future - but I do know that it'll be in an environment where the purpose will be to discover things and learn about myself and other people.
In short, if you use it to it's full potential you probably won't need it much more than once or twice a year. And if you can recreate the thoughts that it can generate on your own, then you won't need it at all.
I don't in the slightest look down at the way most people use pills. This is not meant to be a sermon from up high about how you shouldn't use it as much. This is just the way I see it, and the reasons why I used to use it, but don't any more.

If that's the worst that happens, people should consider themselves fortunate. We know that moderation is the key, but sometimes that paradigm gets swept under the rug in the frantic honeymoon of MDMA. The major concern is the people that pill their guts out for a few months, realise they're tolerant, take a break, and then after a month off, pill their guts out for another 6 months, until they have a huge tolerance again and repeat the cycle.

I agree with PLeo.
I find now days pills in clubs arent the best (yes, its fun to dance all night) but I would MUCH rather take it at someone's house (or a fundraiser for BLUELIGHT *wink wink*)and learn more about my friends and bond in the way MDMA can make you!
It really can do wonders when your in a close personal environment..
And for the tolerance thing.... moderation is the key! Doing 6 monhs full on then breaking then six months full on is quite stooopid. But I think the best we can do is educate the peeps coming into the 'scene' but not being educated on what to do/what not to do! I try to help everyone who doesn't know much as best I can!
