Hey everyone,
Another question from me. Do you know of any drugs that you could take before taking MDMA, that would calm nerves/anxiety and maybe boost confidence & sociability, but that wouldn't, or at least not significantly, affect the MDMA high?
My situation that is making me want to ask this, is that I enjoy taking MDMA at festivals/raves, but it's a scene that I'm very new to (and don't feel like I really "fit into" quite yet)... and I always get nervous before going to them; nervous enough to reconsider if I should even go at all, which makes my come-up anxiety even worse.
I love the music. I love the atmosphere. I love the dancing and partying and everybody having a good time. But I don't have any friends that enjoy it too, so I go to raves by myself. Once the MDMA has kicked in, I'm fine - not a care in the world, no self-conciousness, great self-esteem and very talkative etc. - but in my "sober" life, I'm quite shy and particularly un-skilled in social interaction with strangers, and I also don't just "blend in" where I could lay-low until the MDMA has kicked in (I basically come from a "metalhead" background and have the long hair/alternative aesthetic, which in the UK among my generation seems to be more of a head-turner/eyebrow-raiser than it should be). I would absolutely LOVE it, if there was something I could take before I go to a rave that calms my nerves and helps me enjoy the whole night, rather than the initial nervousness and pure anticipation for the MDMA to kick in and take it away.
But that's not really the point. I just thought this could be a discussion for pre-roll drugs to help with anxiety, if there are any?
I've heard of propranolol and other beta-blockers that are supposed to calm nerves. Would they be a possible, safe enough option?
