About a year ago I very foolishly smoked some synthetic marijuana when I ran out of the real stuff. That kicked off about a month long stint of some hardcore panic attacks that could only be helped with Xanax (about 1mg over 24hrs) and Zoloft (100mg at highest prescribed dosage). After about five months, the panic was under control and I stepped myself down off of both prescriptions successfully. I quit smoking weed altogether at the time of the event after being a long-term daily user. It just wasn't worth the risk of another attack. The only times I've had any waves of anxiety again was after drinking an entire bottle of Moscato over the course of an evening with a friend (a first for me, not a drinker), and taking a Tylenol with codeine after I sprained my ankle (last week.)
I say all of this simply to give some background on me before I ask my question: I have done ecstasy around 10 or so times in my life, and had a beautiful experience every time. It's been many years since I've dropped, but I'd really love to share this experience with my boyfriend, who has never done X. My only concern is about kicking off another panic attack. I've been looking through this forum and other sites and read about people who have experienced panic on the come-up, but once they're up it disappears. I've also read about experiences with panic attacks days after. I know no one can tell me for sure what would happen to me, but I'm wondering if there are precautions I can take to head-off a panic attack if we do drop. I definitely plan on having plenty of Xanax on hand just in case of an emergency. Also, is there anything harmful about this combination I need to know about? I'm thinking I will take it easy with the X - the most I've ever done in a night was 2 pills very spread out and I'm not looking to push it now. My boyfriend and I are talking about splitting 100mg of Molly. Should I take .25/.5mg of Xanax a few hours before we roll to keep the panic at bay?
Thanks in advance for your input!

I'm really wondering if anyone else has experienced panic with other drugs but not with ecstasy. Or if other people who have panic attacks have taken Xanax before they rolled and found that it heads the panic off for them.
