i've taken ecstasy a couple times now. the first time i took one white ecko, also known as white rhinos
(a complete meth bomb) and felt a buzz, nothing more. later on that day i took two of the same pills and in less than a half hour, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
on the come up, i felt extremely sleepy (is that normal?), boneless, and a bit uneasy.
those two pills completely floored me. i could literally feel my panic rising so i sat down, rocked myself back and forth, took deep breaths and sipped on water.
maybe 10 minutes later, i felt great! a week later i got the same pills, and took two.
i panicked for a bit on the come - up once again. could it be from all the weed i smoked to bring myself up? i'm not sure,
but next time i think i'll roll without smoking weed and see what it's like. my question is, what can i do to stop or at least
ease the panic on the come up? i'm just worried that i'll have a complete panic attack as i'm already prone to them. also,
when switching from white caps to colourful caps would it be best to just pop one?

thanks for the help, and sorry for so many questions!

Hey hanna.

Firstly, id advise you not take take mdma/ecstacy tablets more than once a month, as you will lose the effect.

I also have the same problem as you, Only since a horrible DXM trip, 800mg (Fail...)

I get that anxiety when i come up too, i had it at a music festival (My first time at a festival too.. Lol) with over 50,000 people there, and i was seperated from the group coming up.. O Myyyy the anxiety was awful... i actually laid down for a second and heard people going "ARRHHHHHH" in tone together as they do, So i thought Shit im 'That Guy' LOL so i got up and was found by my friends then i was fine.. 100% fine.

All i can say is that , when im with my friends im fineee , but if not i am in trouble (Even though this was a good Clean pill i was coming up on) .

Unfortunately theres not a lot you can do, But i guess in your mindset, if you know you are going to get like that, then you should just accept that in a while you will be so happy you wont even have to worry about it

This kind of effect on the comeup is very normal. A lot of people feel a little uneasy and 'don't know where to put themselves'. As you gain more experience with MDMA, you'll get used to this feeling as you'll know wait awaits you once you cross the comeup. My solution for making the comeup a bit less anxious is to have a beer or two while coming up. I wouldn't go over two beers though.
 
It seems pretty common to be anxious on the come up... I am as well.

Not sure I have much advice, but I find thoroughly knowing what to expect and planning for that helps, and just using general techniques you'd have to combat anxiety, like deep breathing, making sure you're not adding to the anxiety with thoughts like "Oh my god I'm going to have a panic attack! What do I do!" and perhaps having something to focus on during the come-up. Most of it comes with experience I guess, although it's good not to overdo it.
 
^ this,,, i always just tell myself your ok everything will be fine.. just relax...take a deep breath... usually works... that and tums.. i dont know why but i pop a tums on the come up and its not as bad..that could jsut be me though
 
being calm about taking mdma comes with experience. i remember my first pill, i had tremors right after ingesting haha. plus that anxious butterfly feeling of having the pill in you. once you roll a lot, the anxiety becomes a lot more manageable, and actually enjoyable. i love the kind of nervous, bout-to-comeup feeling, and is a part of the complete MDMA experience in my opinion.
 
I've always noticed that, for me, the bigger the panic on the come-up, the better the roll. Prolly just me, though.
 
I used to get super anxious my first few times, but now it's more of a nervous excitement about what the night will be like. Very similar feelings, though. I'm probably just not scared anymore so it feels more like excitement
 
I always get anxious when I'm coming up, but I've found a few ways to get around it. First of all, stay away from people. People touching you once you're rolling is fun and all, but if you're having a bad come up, it's not so fun. I always take my pills and sit somewhere comfy, talk with a few friends, try to forget I even took them. If you're at a rave or somewhere like that, you may want to sit in a bathroom stall for a few minutes to avoid being overwhelmed. I've also found that sitting seems to be better than standing or lying down if you get sick. Most importantly, just try to relax.
 
I sometimes get anxious, but never anxious or anything anymore, more like...butterflies in my stomach/my body feels strange (not in the good way) so i just sit down for a few mins, and then i'm good!
 
Some people get very nauseous and that feeling is very similar or maybe the same as anxiety. One of my best mates throws up every time. You have leave him well alone until he's sick and then 10 mins later he's the star of the dancefloor. Taking a pill one half at a time to lessen the steepness of the upramping can help.

I find the come up on shrooms far more sinister.

This. Plus it can be bad for your brains' functions and mental health/mood.
 
I always noticed the opposite than most of you. When I get anxiety, the roll is usually less intense than when the comeup kind of just picks you up off your feet and floats you up to heaven.

What I found helps is taking half a cap (or pill) and taking the other half once I'm starting to come up. That way I'm not coming up TOO much and I can still benefit from being totally fucken high.

Who knew taking MDMA could become an art form :)
 
I'm generally a little anxious coming up, but it's more of a nervous excitement. The only time I was anywhere near a full blown panic and experienced nausea was from some pretty strong mollies (dunno the dose, they were already in caps), and only cause the come up wasn't smooth at all. Hit me like a ton of bricks all at once.
 
The anxiety for me is pretty normal, I'd say every single time I've rolled I've been somewhat anxious. sometimes worse than others. The hardest roll i ever had i remember being at a coat check going "I need to fucking get out of this room, now" and then 5 minutes later my eyes started to wiggle and i felt like hugging the bouncer than scanned my ticket (I'm glad I didn't).

I think its fun to play with the pre-roll symptoms now, I particularly enjoy the feeling that i'm weightless, or walking on air if you will. That one disappears once i peak but i really, really enjoy it.

One time i had a severe panic attack on a roll that was perportedly mda/pcp (i doubt it, but definitely more amped than usual) and i kept pounding beers to calm down. Definitely not the best option as its very dangerous and the headache i had the next day was tremendously horrid. Not to mention my bladder felt like it was going to pop (this is NOT a good sign).

Overall, i think the anxiety is normal for almost everyone keep in mind that marijuana is a very introspective drug/high, if you smoke this in combination with your come up, your anxiety will increase. I find that the panic attacks I've gotten off weed are WAY more hard core than acid, mdma, or other drugs. Only topped possibly by cocaine.

don't underestimate weed, smoke it if you can handle it, i find that rolling is good enough on its own (well, i do love to throw some booze in the mix, but for the sake of harm reduction, DONT DRINK AND ROLL :P)
 
I always know it's a good roll when i get anxiety or throw up it doesn't even bother cause I know it's going to be one hell of a night.
 
I get VERY anxious on the comeup, to the point where I've forced myself to vomit for 30 min+ straight until I'm pretty much sober (or at least feel like it). Sitting down does help a lot, but sometimes I find this shuts me down and I go into a bubble where I don't want to stand up no matter how much my friends are trying to get me to dance. I'm still struggling with how to handle this drug after 12ish times using it. I have had some AMAZING times on MDMA, but also a few downers :(
I think this comes down to me being a nervous person in general. My friends have named me the "comedown kid" cause I'm often the one having the shittest times at raves, but I'm persistent and keep going to them.. I just love the music so much it's worth risking a terrible roll
