I'm sure there have been tons of threads on why you do drugs, but what's the closest anyone has come to thinking "y'know what, fuck this, I'm never rolling again"? Could be any drug, not only E.
 
weed's given me anxiety before so i've contemplated quitting it, usually just end up taking breaks which solve it though.

if you feel like you need to stop doing mdma, then stop doing it.
 
Im in the same situation as you OP, due to a non life threatening but annoying chronic illness.

I have given up harder drugs, all ive done in the past 32 days is cannabis, no ket, no mdma, no valium, no other drugs really.

I dont drink either. I might just decide to take mdma every 90 days AT THE SOONEST, but atm i need a break.

Have you considered maybe spacing it out further?
Take a break from it all for a few months and then redecide then

does mdma lower immunity or something? cause since ive been rolling monthly ive been getting a nasty cold, finally get over it, then getting another cold about 3 days later. So fucking annoying, ive had about 8 colds in 2-3 months
 
I've been rolling and doing psychadelics as a fairly light recreational user for about 10 years now. I've never had even a brief moment when I considered voluntarily quitting them forever. The only thing of that nature that ever crosses my mind is that sometimes getting ahold of them can be more of a hassle than its worth. But apart from that, I don't see myself ever choosing to drop them entirely.
 
I think most of us who used E for any length of time have had that thought "I'll never touch this shit again as long as I live" in the middle of a come down, but unless someone has a traumatic experience with E I don't think anyone ever just quits cold turkey. The pleasure return is just too high unless you lose the magic and the after effects become more unbearable than the enjoyment you get from the drug.

I used E for close to 10 years. It's hard to explain, but it just slowly ran out for me. I started using cautiously with a single pill every 3 to 4 months, then ramped up to high doses once a month for years and then I began to slowly lose the magic and I began to use less frequently and in lower doses each time. Now I'm to a point where I use E on average less than once a year with a single, moderate dose, and I don't go around with plans to take it again. However, it's one of those things where if the situation were ever right and I were offered a good pill - I'd more than likely say "what the hell" and go for it.
 
I don't do it on such a regular basis for it to have a potentially adverse effect on my life, I was curious about what pushed others to contemplate quitting. But I need my dose of escapism, and I like the level of introspection I experience when I'm dropping some E.

Exploring different emotions, socialising more openly, the feeling of empathy with women without any ulterior motive of having sex with them, feeling less socially awkward at raves, I don't think I could ever give it up. I love the person I become and people find me more interesting when I'm pilled up.
 
If you have received warning signs, then the sooner you quit, the better. The longer you let it go on the worse things will become and the harder it will be just to let it go. Mdma use was never much of a problem for me, but rather cannabis abuse - I should have stopped years ago, and it's rather scary how time will fly by as my attachment becomes stronger and stronger and I lose myself more and more to a pointless obsession. Mdma, as something that cannot be used frequently, should be relatively easy to quit compared to something like weed that becomes a morning-til-night lifestyle. That's not to say someone can't roll once a month and obsess over it every day in between... I think when you start obsessing over a drug or realize it's had a negative impact on sober you, then it's time to stop.

Just look in the mirror - see what you've become, how you've changed, how it's affected you. If it's negative, there's never a better time to stop than right now. For myself Mdma was entirely positive and life changing for the better - I just decided to quit while I was ahead, because I need to learn how to be happy and open to others all the time, not just when I'm rolling, and further use, going back, just doesn't help me accomplish this at all.
 
I can't take any serotonin modifiers after getting Serotonin Syndrome 4 months ago from mixing tramadol with alcohol
 
I have said fuck this shit to...LSD, Shrooms, DXM and weed. I cant think of any reason I would ever try them again
 
a year and a few months ago I had been eating lsd every weekend for 2-3 months, had a great time everytime. Then I had the absolute worst trip of my life, easily the most scary thing I've had happen to me as an adult. I had a few flash backs in the following months but there pretty much over now, havn't taken acid since then...
 
I'll never fuck with acid again.....or prolly not any psychedelic for that matter. I had a couple bad trips on LSD about a year and a half ago that brought out a lot of paranoia and anxiety that I'd never experienced before. So....yea fuck that shit.

I like being scared and uncomfortable with my environment on acid.
Concerts and long strolls on a busy city street, are two that came to mind.
when things get weird i ask myself, why is my brain showing this to me this way.
I'm more so, curious as to some of the factors your trip to go south...
How strong were the doses.
of course i don't mean to intrude....
