yes and no, E totally increased my confidence, but it surely can be a source of random depression, anyone who says E doesnt change, obviously hasnt done that much, cause it does change you, not neccessarily in bad way, taking it doesnt make you a worse person, it can open you up alot, make you sensitive to alot more things, but i think it can make you moody at times, and ive sufferred thru some pretty heavy e-ppression spouts, but it doesnt make you a worse person, u feel like that cause of the e-pression, but try not to, im sure your a great person, all bluelighters are!! at least the ones ive met.

Ya Rav,
Levels of serotonin and dopamine are what regulate your "mood". when you roll you expend almost all of your serotonin. It takes a long time to replace serotonin because its not meant to be used so quickly. Everyone is effected differently, but it takes me almost 4 weeks to get my head back. Give your body time to recover, and let your serotin levels return to normal. I know it sucks not to roll for a while, but your body needs to be in balance. You don't need to quit, just modify.

Hey..
I think I went through something similar.. First, i'm gonna say that I know all the technical serotonin stuff, so please people dont yell at me..
This is just my experiences in a nutshell I guess..
When I first started rolling, I did it about every 2 weeks. In between rolls, I got sooooooooo depressed. (Thats actually what made me look into what E is exactly. I knew it had to be because of the drugs, and I wanted to make sure it was normal.) But, since Halloween, I have rolled every weekend. Maybe its because my body isn't getting enough rest, but I DONT EVER get depressed. Seriously, I'm so happy and hyper 98% of the time. Its a little gross, actually. However, I am sooo moody at times. I know my body needs a rest, and its going to get it after this weekend.. BUT I like the happy & hyper me better
I dont know... I dont think you should get 8up every weekend, because your body needs the rest.. TRUST ME! Just ride out the depression, its pretty normal.. Your body is making you back to normal..
AND NOW that i've rambled off cuz i'm talkative and nobody is here to talk to.. I'll end this response
PLUR and all that good stuff..

Hey,
I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. I imgaine that it could have something to do with the e, but I get the same way sometimes, and I think it could be un-related.
I have a few sugestions for ya, if it is the e, one of the best ways to start feeling better is to help your body (err, brain) rebuild it's seratonin levels. one of the best ways to do this is with Potassium. Eat lots of bananas, or fish... it should help you, to a certian degree.
secondly... I recently went back to University myself. And I have absolutely no reason why I got so moody.. maybe stress? but, what you can do, is don't roll for a couple of weeks, and go see your family doctor. Tell him how you are feeling (if the potassium, and positive thinking doesn't help) get either a referral to a therapist... or possibly some sort of answers from your doc. I'm not trying to say you're crazy, but sometimes the drugs you are doing have NOTHING to do with how you are feeling. Just personal experience.
I certianly hope you start to feel better soon, and keep doing well in school. and rest assured that you aren't a bad person. and doing e certianly doesn't make you any less of a good person. Especialy if you are worried about it
however the research that i have done indicates the long term effects of (limited) e use is in fact POSITIVE for the self-esteem, and confidence of a person.
just remember that us bluelighters are listening to you, and we are here.
and if ya feel like it e-mail me. sounds like we have some things in common, maybe we can help eachother out.
PLUR!

after my latest roll i had the worse comedown EVER
it was weird since i've done these pills lotsa times, and never had such a bad comedown from them... from ANY pill
i dropped half, (chewed on it 1st), then an hour later dropped tha other half
and it was at home.. i was watchin tv with my parents while high on e
yes, i'm stupid....
anyway,
the next day i couldn't eat anythin, i felt so sick to my stomach... every little move i made just made me squirm with disgust
and damn, the depression was so fuckin bad, it's unbelievable
i was thinking about raving and what i was doing in general
i actually thought that raving was very dumb and useless, and that ravers are the most pathetic ppl
then i thought that i was thinkin this cause of the E and tried to make some sense out of it, but couldn't
only a few days later, when the depression wore off, i realized that this depression was caused by the E, and that raving is a wonderful wonderful thing
the next day i bought myself a big 5HTP bottle
i just hope it helps!

Hey alls,
Happy belated xmas and new years.
I know what you mean about the depression. Ive felt it before and my friends, especially the girls have felt the same way. I would def. recommend the 5htp pills. Some of the people in our group question its effectiveness for preloading for a harder roll, but no one questions the effectiveness after a roll. after rolling hard and frequently, your serotonin and dopamine levels are low, and the 5htp will digest and convert to serotonin in your body. That way, you feel less depressed and less moody. You can find it at www.mothernature.com or at any GNC in the diet pill section. It's pretty expensive at GNC, but well worth it if you need it. It usually takes about a full 12 hours to be completely effective, but take four pills after every roll before you head off to bed and you will def. feel alot better the next day. Take care and hope you feel alot better.
My.02
Much love

Hey there is no need for these bad feelings. You are doing nothing more than having a good time. You are not abusing the drug and sounds like you have a damn good head on your shoulders. To get rid of the post E depression just pre/post load with 5 HTP. You can buy this at any nutrition store. By the 100 mg capsules and take 3 about 12 hrs b4 you roll and take 3 more the morning after you roll. I promise that these blues will disappear. I used to suffer from the same thing until I discovered this wonder suppliment 5HTP. Good luck
Happy ROLLenium
