So I'm going to a rave this saturday, and a friend of mine is going. I was planning on rolling, and she says she wants to also, but she's bipolar and I've heard some gnarly stuff about bipolar people and MDMA. I don't know exactly what's in the pills I have, but is it okay for her to do E with me? And if not, is there any kind of equivalent party drug she could take if I roll?

EDIT: also she's not on any meds right now, although she has tried them in the past.

It is never safe for anyone to take pills without knowing what is in them............its totally irrelevant what diseases or disorders you may or may not have............Test your pills.

Check pill reports.com.

Talk to other people from your area in your regional bluelight drug discussion forum.
 
You're right, I'll test them, I have the kit and all that jazz even.

But can anyone tell me about ecstasy's interaction with bipolar II?
 
OK I have to thank you for bringing this to my attention as it was not listed specifically in the directory............I have just added it. http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=301696 second post.

Remember that the advice being provided is specifically for interaction with mdma.........it may not be true for other crap that may be in the pill.............thats why testing is so important.
 
If I'm in a very depressive period MDMA doesn't do much to lift my mood (it can actually intensify my negativity), but usually it's okay
 
as an almost-psychologist :o I have to say that I think it's a terribly bad Idea. It all dependends if she's really bipolar or cyclothymic...if she has been properly diagnosed as Bipolar I would strongly advice against it.

True bipolars are rarely off meds, so she might have been misdiagnosed...in that case, MDMA wouldn't hurt (a lot).

Anyway I wouldn't chance it, the comedown might be hell on earth...and it might make her condition worse.

hope this helps.

Oh I forgot to add...if she's bipolar and currently going through a depressive or dysthymic cycle, MDMA might trigger a manic episode, like SSRIs tend to do on bipolar disorders.

^+1, couldn't have said it better

Lithium + MDMA = I have no clue, but Lithium + LSD is a VERY bad idea (dunno if your friend is on lithium tho)

MDMA could trigger mania

The comedown could trigger depression
 
I wouldn't recommend it... But if she's hell-bent on rolling, well... You can't really stop her (or maybe you can, I don't know of the relationship between you two).
 
doesn't sound like a very good idea
I'm not quite bipolar but have a lot of mood swings and after E they get a lot worse for the next couple days. A lot worse, last time I went to school after E I called my principal a fucking asshole and almost got kicked out of my school.
 
Hmm, I wouldn't say she's hell bent, but she's very confident that she wants to do it.

She has been diagnosed as Bipolar II, but has been off meds for about a while, and claims to be fine with it. She smokes and drinks on a pretty regular basis.

Thanks for your replies everyone, maybe I'll show her this thread or somefin.

i'm bipolar and i roll occasionally - probably too often. i've been lucky with the consequences thus far.

what i'd be most worried about is the possibility of mental addiction. most 'bipolars' are very reckless and impulsive. i'm constantly high-seeking - be it through natural or chemical means. in my experience, the craving completely overshadows the very real possibility that it could put me in a terrible place. i'd be afraid of your friend getting too into it and greatly increasing her chances of fucking herself over.

i don't know about being off of meds, though...
that could get really sketchy.

it's always a relatively bad idea - but we all do it anyway, right?
 
In the end its her call...but now that you know some more info regarding the subject just fill her in.
 
well, I laid all the information out for her, and we ended up dropping together anyway. We had a pretty good preload/postload routine, and the pills weren't too strong in single doses. She had a great time, was not too overwhelmed at the rave. The next morning we're both feelin the comedown but it's not nearly as bad as any of my previous experiences.
 
i'm so glad it worked out well for both of you!
:D

maybe check in on her every once in a while over the next week ;).
