the past couple of times I've taken mdma I felt a growing sense of paranoia right after peaking. I think it may be that I'm not taking enough (both times I took a pretty small amount much and I usually get a bit of paranoia on my comedowns anyway)
is this kind of thing usual?
I'm just a bit concerned that this kind of thing will keep happening every time I take it so is there any way of stopping it from happening?
anything I can take?
 
What is the dose that you are taking?
And people do experience paranoia on MDMA, but it is usually during the comeup.
 
Have you tested the stuff you are getting? Paranoia is more common when there's amphetamine in the mix. If you are getting paranoid on clean stuff maybe mdma is not the drug for you.
 
I get paranoid when I don't peak hard enough, because then I feel like I wasted my roll and I gotta wait another few months before I can properly roll again.
 
By paranoid do you think that other people are out to get you, talking about you etc or just that you haven't taken enough and therefor are not going to roll properly?

Normally if your in a safe setting then that takes care of the 'social' paranoia - either way its common for some people to feel a bit edgy when coming up, how they deal with it can effect them for the roll. If you just remember that you have taken a drug, its onset can cause paranoia so don't get too focused on the negative feelings and tell yourself they will pass.

If you over think the paranoia then you just make matters worse.

A couple of beers can really help relax you and get you in the mood.
 
I find the best thing is, if it's at a club or rave, to go the first 2-3 hours sober so you losen up a bit and get a nice natural buzz anyway from the music and then drop your bombs. Of course that's for long nights though (9pm-6am).
 
How do you know it's MDMA? A lot of it's cut with amphetimine and Ketamine and other things - it's harder to get pure MDMA these days!

I think it's a bit like this
it happened the first time a few weeks ago when I'd only taken one smallish bomb. I had just peaked mildy but was alone on the way to meet people and then finding myself alone in east london with some random girl coming up to me and telling me off for taking drugs (I had made another bomb on the night bus) which killed my high and paranoia ensued and I was forced to go home, where the second bomb kicked in and I was happy again and with friends but still felt a bit of paranoia in the back of my mind

the last time it happened I had again only taken a small amount and shortly after peaking mildly I thought about the paranoia I had experienced previously which made me paranoid that I would experience it again, which made me paranoid. it's worth noting that the paranoia isn't a full-on obnoxious, un-ignorable feeling but rather something that tinges the high rather nastily

is there anything I can use to get rid of it?
up until now I've always enjoyed myself but just sensed a bit of paranoia on the come-down before I go to sleep
 
There's nothing worse than somebody freaking out at you for taking drugs, while you're getting high.
I had that experience once, caused by a self-righteous young woman at a party. I spent much of the rest of the party locked up in the lavatory watching things grow out of the walls.
I suggest that if you get high again that you should do it in a place where you feel safe, where you are truly safe, and where you can do what you want without being disturbed.
 
What do you mean by paranoid exactly? It's funny word that has a wide range of meanings. People use it when they mean anxiety, psychosis, delusional belief and other related problems. I think in essence it has to have some sense that the bad feelings are coming from outside of you: from other people or things. What you're describing sounds more like plain anxiety. Lots of psychoactive drugs cause anxiety in people, probably most people at some point if they keep taking them or get into uncomfortable situations with people.

I've had it a lot on MDMA. I love the come-up and the peak but after I come down a couple of steps, maybe a couple of hours later, a feeling of anxiety/discomfort/social phobia can sometimes creep in. I used to just take more which would put it off for a couple of hours and then it would come back doubled. I've not discovered a way around this other than to take a sensible amount and go home or get some sleep when if this feeling occurs. Doing E on a night bus probably isn't the best thing to be doing really.

I would add that if you do find you get most times you do E, then stop taking E for a year and move on. Putting yourself through drug-enforced anxiety is NOT good for the soul!

There's one thing worse: someone you gave drugs to flipping out and thinking their going to die or wanting to call the ambulance! One reason I refuse to get involved supplying anything to anyone.
 
High doses of MDMA cut with meth can do that to you.

Aside from drug induced psychosis, it can also be caused by anxiety, feelings, reasoning, food/sleep deprivation, depressions, stress, etc..
 
I used to get paranoia on MDMA, that was when I wasn't testing my pills and getting them from random people. When I get good quality stuff, I don't get paranoia.
It was also usually when I had a lot.
I'd always hear sirens and stuff.
 
When you get paranoid on MDMA is when your not with the right people or environment. Or when you are around people that are not doing it. Best thing to do is do it with trusted people. In the right place. Make sure that everyone in your surroundings is doing it. Theres nothing worse than people around you just laughing at what you look like what your doing and saying. Causes major paranoia. I hope this helps as this is the main points why i get paranoid on it

The last time I did MD I was standing in the smoking area, gurning away, eyes wide open, proper buzzing off my tits and these two girls were looking at me and laughing so I just went over to them and made conversation after apologising for how fucked I looked.
 
I remember once a friend claimed that someone was shooting bullets at his car, then later he heard the house's front door open/close and insisted "someone was after him", he then ran to a bedroom and began frantically hiding things under a bed...

The thing is though is you have to be in the right place to be doing it. At a rave and festivals are ok but not in a club. Clubs are full of chavs wearing striped sweatshirts that are on benefits as well as older people who are also on benefits wearing tesco shirts with their collar popped up getting pissed trying to chat up sluts whilst looking for fights at the same time. Rave or festival is the right place as almost everyone is doing some sort of chemical and people are a lot more nicer.

Agreed, any drug will take the emotions of the day and twist them in bizarre ways, take the vibe of where your rolling and amplify it greatly. Even when you might think 'Here will do' there's always little things which will creep up on you giving you a worse time, and company and entertainment plays a great role on these aspects.
