Is ecstacy anxiolytic?

Whenever I combine cannabis with either GHB or benzos, I don't get any anxiety (or paranoia), due to their anxiolytic effect, and was wondering if a similar sort of thing would happen if I were to mix ecstacy and cannabis?
 
I had my first and only anxiety attack when mixing marijuana and ecstasy.

I think mixing marijuana with any stimulant (even a "weak" one like ecstasy) is not good for anxiety.
 
I agree with Insane Platypus.

I'm honestly not sure why, but most of the cases of people describing anxiety while taking MDMA also includes cannabis.
 
^ Why bother? I think it would just be a waste of time and money. Peaking on ecstasy and marijuana isn't that great and I don't think the GHB would make it worthwhile. Personally, I'd stick to using ecstasy by itself.
 
Okay, I think I agree with you about the cannabis (I'll save that for the come down), but I've hear so many people recommending the use of GHB (and nitrous) during the ecstacy peak. They say it enhances the emotions and feelings of empathy you have. What do you think? Should I just enjoy the ecstacy on it's own?

P.S. What would you recommend for the comedown? GHB and cannabis? I'm really quiet anxious about this comedown. I'm planning to have my first roll in about six weeks, when I've finished tapering off my Effexor prescription.
 
If this is your first time, experience the ecstasy by itself. Trust me, it will be worth it and you won't feel the need for any other drugs.
 
Just use the X and after you come down pop a couple of 5-htp. No need for any other drugs. Also, stay away from the alcohol on your first time. Alcohol + X = A waste of time...they cancel each other out and it's just not worth it. Just thought I'd throw that in there since this is your first time.

Just experience the x by itself for your first time. You won't be disappointed. GHB is only something I recommend if you have a partner to have sex with...GHB=Very Horney...pretty amazing sex too. Anyway, if you're THAT worried about the come down, just take some 5htp.
 
Hell I have bouts of anxiety from cannabis by it's self but I have no problem with MDMA.
 
I really don`t think coming down should be problem your first time, for coming down I usually smoke some cannabis. And the day after 5htp and vitamins really work wonders.
As for the GHB I really haven`t had any personal experience, but a couple of my friends have tried it. And they thought it felt like heaven, better than ecstasy alone actually, wich is pretty nice.

But for your first time I think ecstasy alone is more than enough, save other enhancers for late if you want to try them. But this is just a personal preference.

Hope I could help some, and good luck on your first roll :)
 
BBB - I would have thought that GHB would dull and MDMA peak. I have never tried it though.

Weed for the comedown is awesome imo. Its pretty much the only time I smoke dope. However for your first roll you might not really have much of a comedown. Just a happy afterglow.
 
imho weed on mdma makes you roll harder,

and you can smoke shitloads of it without feeling all stoned & cloudy in ur head..
you can get really high... but you only feel it for 15/30 mins or you have to Light another joint :D
 
One of the mods on this board claims that taking 5-HTP immediately on the comedown causes anti-social behaviour and/or panic attacks. Can anyone else verify that this is likely to be true (from personal experience)? When is the best time to start post-loading with 5-HTP (I just bought some today)?

Would it be unwise to use Ecstacy while on St. John's Wort?

In my experience alcohol in combination with any drug is a waste of time and money!
 
IME long term ecstasy use (3x2 every week for 2.5 years) causes mental and emotional instability.. that includes depression and anxiety

^^ abusing any drug to that extent is obviously going to cause problems.


heh you're right :) but that's not abusing i suppose. the term "abuse" is for using a drug more than is prescribed dosage or for another purpose than what it's meant for. correct me if i'm wrong
 
If it's your first time using ecstasy, please don't mix it with anything else. The first few times are so perfect, and there really is no real come down if you have clean pills.

Edit: re-added deleted paragraph: It's so blissful and perfect the first few times, and there really is no come down if you have clean MDMA. What might happen is that you may feel a little tired, but the first few times generally give this amazing afterglow where you feel like a million dollars for a few days after the high.

And yes, MDMA is strongly anxiolytic. It's fairly common to get a strange sort of fluttery feeling of anxiety and fear during the come up, but then in one big whoosh every fear in the world disappears in a rush of well being.

i agree. first time e use.. for me, the best feeling ever.. too bad you can never reach the same height in later usages no matter how many pills you take.
