Thought I’d share a little report about the above combination with which I passed over from 2011 to 2012.

Firstly, some information: I’m 28, Male, 62 kg. Inexperienced yet possessing a fairly cautious attitude. Have taken MDMA only once before. My girlfriend is 27 and 51kg. She is significantly more experienced and has taken MDMA on several occasions.

Doses (variations)
• 140mg MDMA – T – 10:00pm
• 60 mg MDMA (girlfriend took 80mg) – T + 90mins
• MXE – 25 to 40mg over a period of 7 hours (5mg keys between 11:00pm and 6:00am)
• 80mg MDMA – T + c.290mins
• 2 hits of N2O – T + c.300mins
• My girlfriend also smoked some weed and took an etizolam toward the end of the night.

MDMA dropped in club setting. Lovely smooth come up. Feeling effects within 10 minutes, fully up with 45 mins. Redosed at T + 90mins. ‘Normal’ MDMA effects – really chatty, so enjoyed talking to people. Music was wonderful. Smoking cigarettes served to boost the effects of the MDMA – watch out for smoking too much if you are inexperienced like me. My girlfriend’s come up was less smooth. Her slightly larger redose of 80mg seemed to bring her to a pleasant peak.

Here, however, is where the evening gets ‘interesting.’ Took first 5mg key of MXE toward the peak of the MDMA, maybe T + 180mins. Not that I noticed this at the time, but this certainly took the edge off my peak. It immediately reduced the intensity of the MDMA ‘waves.’ Had another, slightly larger key of MXE at T + 240mins and left the club. It was planned that the evening was to be divided into two: club / dancing for first half, and then intimate retreat at home.

On return to the house, took an additional 80mg of MDMA to boost me back to the peak. Also had another key of MXE. At this point, T + 300mins had my first N2O. Took this before on aMT but it was nothing compared to MDMA – Wow!

Timing gets fuzzy here but had another key or two or MXE and another N2O. This N2O hit was very different – very intense closed eye visuals and, somewhat surprisingly, I felt the first suggestion that I was entering a genuinely trippy mind space, both visually and mentally.

My girlfriend was still unsure at this stage but we settled back down and enjoyed texting friends, talking and just being together. However, after maybe an additional 60 mins – possibly T + 420mins – the next MDMA come-up never really got going and I sensed that something was going slightly wrong with the evening. Music was sounding excessively intense and trippy – even very clean, polished electronic music became seriously psychedelic. Moreover, neither of us could properly settle. We both agreed that we had been ambushed by a trip, a totally unexpected, unplanned trip. After having a rather difficult (planned) trip some weeks ago, I seemed to deal quite effectively with this unwelcomed psychedelic visitor. My girlfriend, a much more experienced tripper, found the whole process rather too much. We had periods of significant intensity – mentally for her and visually for me – and periods where things would calm a little and a euphoric warm feeling would return.

Then, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, we both seemed to grasp that maybe the MXE was doing something a little funny. Recently, we have taken aMT and 6 APB and had rather intense experiences. On both occasions, we had taken similar amounts of MXE around the peaking time and things got a little strange – friends reported similar experiences – but we failed to complete the seemingly obvious equation:

MXE + MDMA or aMT or 6 APB whilst peaking = some seriously trippy shit (and not necessarily in a good way)!

Things seemed to move quickly once the realisation struck and I could literally feel the battle ongoing in my head between the MDMA – desperately trying to spread it’s energy and love – and the MXE – trying to slow me down and force me into a trippy headspace. Closed eye visuals at this point were colourful, wonderful and very intense. I could literally make anything appear in my vision.

At this point, my girlfriend complained of feeling ‘empty.’ We translated this as meaning hungry and each had a protein shake, which we keep handy for such situations. This was extremely unpleasant but it sure helped with the hunger and general lack of energy.

By now, T + 480 – 540mins, I was very tired and transitioned very smoothly to a sleeping state feeling quite pleased that I had overcome the psychedelic ambush. My girlfriend, however, continued to have difficulties and an etizolam did not settle her down. Prior to the etizolam, she had smoked some weed and this seemed to make things a little more manageable. However, she was unable to sleep. Her eventual solution was to busy her mind with a task – searching for films to watch and download and she was able to sleep by T + 720mins.

Waking at 12:00pm, I expected a seriously BAD day. However, I was after glowing for an additional 48 hours and had a very restful 2 days enjoying the home I share with my girlfriend. We took 5HTP at regular intervals, watched colourful, happy films and ate well. I’m sure she will forgive me for noting that sex was a whole lot of fun and, more generally, the sensation of touch was greatly enhanced, especially during the initial 24 hour period.

So, several days on, back to normal, and some time to reflect on the experience. After reading up a little more on MXE the lessons seemed quite obvious:

I won’t be taking MXE again before peaking on MDMA and only once I am ready to end the experience or when I begin to come down naturally.

I will watch the amount of MXE I take at any one point. The come up is quite slow – something that caught me off guard – and I was redosing before the full effects of the last key had manifested itself. Consequently, I found myself entering a very trippy little place as the cumulative effects of the MXE built and built.

The afterglow of MXE is lovely and really took the edge of the MDMA comedown. Thus, the ideal time to take MXE seems to be as you are naturally coming down from MDMA and are a couple of hours from when you want to get to sleep.

Several days on from T. Feeling pretty good. Fairly smooth come down. 5HTP as helpful as ever. On reflection T + 24 - 48 hours were actually better than the roll itself. Anyway, next stop a retry of 6APB - these research chemicals sure keep you busy
