I hate the comedown (skag) from E pills and was wondering if anyone knows any pills with mild skag or no skag at all after?
 
If you're not taking pure MDMA, there is a very good chance you'd get worse "skag" (never heard that term..). Have you tested your product at all? I seem to remember telling you to get a kit before..



If you are testing your pills and they aren't adulterated, then the comedown is going to get worse the more often you use. How often have you been rolling? I find when taking proper breaks (45+ days in between rolls) there is little to no comedown... of course, the amount you dose during the night is going to make a huge difference too. If i take anymore than 250mg in a night I tend to get pretty down and moody for a few weeks. With responsible use however my comedown is almost completely unnoticeable, I feel tired and drained for a day or two but other than that I'm all good
 
Skag? What the hell? Its called a comedown and the only way to avoid it is to use responsibly, meaning 1-3 month breaks, and testing your pills to ensure that there is even mdma in there.

I'm from Ireland so I guess it's just a slang term here but it's what everyone around here calls the comedown.

It has nothing to do with how long I space out the rolls (for me) because the very first time I took an E pill I got a terrible comedown and I had only taken one pill which was only 125mg. I think it could be just me because many other people say they take 3 or 4 pills with virtually no comedown.
 
Well, how long do you wait?

There could have been a number of other factors in that comedown.. lack of sleep, dehydration, sore from dancing and just general lethargy from a very active night could all have added to it. I will say however that some are just luckier than others, not everyone's serotonin system is the same obviously... a better diet, more sunlight/exercise and a overall healthier lifestyle could lead to higher levels of 5-HT which would translate into them being able to get away with more. Some people are just really good at ignoring the comedown as well, so just because they don't feel it doesn't mean it's not causing them the same kind of harm on the inside

I always wait at least 4-6 weeks and sometimes longer, it depends.

I noticed when I got my first really bad comedown I hadn't eaten anything in about 12 hours before the roll so maybe that had something to do with it?
 
Yeah that's pretty good, not eating will play a HUGE role in how you feel though... after all, 90% of our serotonin is found in our stomach.


Best to eat something starchy and full of carbs a few hours before you roll, peanut butter and toast or a big bowl of cereal haha... something that will give your body the fuel it needs to keep you up and going as long as the MDMA will. You burn a TON of extra energy on MDMA, even if you're just sitting around haha. It's been said that the reason meth is so damaging is because frequent users will go long periods without eating or sleeping... obviously that burns you out when you're sober, add drugs to that and you're looking at a disaster

^ Hey now, let's be nice. Not everyone lives in 'MERICA you know ;) different parts of the world have different slangs, I'm guessing Lauren is from the UK where they have all kinds of wacky terms (munted, pingers, eckies, Mandy.. etc.)

I meant no offense, i hope the op didnt take it that way. :)
 
If you use MDMA responsibly there is still a chance of experiencing negative comedown symptoms. Your best bet is to use infrequently and to not over do it (dose wise).

If you can't tolerate that then maybe MDMA is not for you.
 
Haha skag? The only time I`ve ever heard that term, it was used as a slang for heroin, but I guess words have different meanings. I would guess that if its MDMA, and works by overproducing and thus depleting the serotonin in your brain, then you will have a comedown, or a regeneration period as I like to call it. While there are no E pills that I believe are void of a "comedown", I have heard of many people using SSRI antidepressants for a couple days after to help you recover as quickly and painlessly as possible, as these drugs work on the same chemical in the brain (serotonin) although they do work a bit differently. I kind of think of it like "weaning off" of a more addictive substance for example taking a suboxone taper to get off of heroin. (just as an example not saying the two are really anything alike).
Other than that probably just try and get the cleanest purest pills and use a kit to test your stuff and try to find pills with MDMA only.
 
When i was young we used to refer to the cum down (as in soon as effects start fading and you feel shit)
As smacking up or skagging out
Cos it made you act like a smack head rattling

definitely. If you don't eat, your body will feed on itself to sustain itself. Add in the extra energy consumption of the drug, and everything else, recipe for a tough day after.

How is your diet and exercise anyway? When I first started rolling, i was pretty unhealthy and my comedowns were horrible. As my health has improved, so has my resistance to bad come downs, hang overs, and stress.
 
I don't exercise much but my diet is pretty good and I'm at a healthy weight. It was probably just the fact I didn't eat before.
 
Even if we take a pill with the same colour and stamp it may not be from the same batch.
Test your shit, if impurities come up then don't take it if you don't want a bad comedown.
Pure MDMA generally has a pretty smooth comedown, but you might be one of the unlucky ones who get unusually fierce comedowns.
Or if you're using more than once every two weeks this can play a role.
Space out your rolls, eat well, and exercise and your rolls should be more powerful with less side effects
 
Are you asking for rolls light on heroin or what? This skag thing has me befuddled.
