Xanax + MDMA? Bad? Good?

Let me start by saying I DONT enjoy Xanax- I've never even taken it.

I ask because I have been subject to panic attacks brought on by MDMA before (confirmed, legit MDMA). This has happened about 4 times, on 4 seperate occasions.

Since Xanax is anti-anxiety, this might solve the problem for me if I take a little (or another anti-anxiety med).

My concern is that this might be a "bad" or risky combo for some reason...I'm not into downers, but I'm even less into panic attacks (LOL)...suggestions appreciated. I've already tried breathing techniques and all sorts of non-drug methods.
 
It shouldn't be dangerous to your body, so don't worry.

Personally, I wouldn't take the xanax until it was needed. It will do a whole lot to help you get through a panic attack, but it will also pretty much kill the MDMA trip. If you feel yourself beginning to panic, try taking 0.5 mg of xanax. If you still are freaking out 30 minutes later, take another 0.5 or 1.0 mg. This would probably abort your trip though.

good luck.
 
Take the xanax for the comedown. Taking Xanax while on MDMA would probably diminish the effects of it.

MDMA is a good Anti-Anxiety, so don't worry about having anxiety while rolling.
 
You shouldn't really worry about combining the two, but as others have said it will diminish the effects of MDMA. Honestly if you can get by the come up of mdma there will be absolutely NO anxiety during the experience. The come up is the only time where you may experience a little anxiety but all you have to do is keep your self a little busy and put your self in a good positive mood so it can transition into a wonderful roll.

Yeah, believe it or not if I'm by myself I'll just search BL forums to distract myself LOL.
 
I never thought about it diminishing the roll- you're right. I might just keep some weed (indica) on me instead- I don't like weed, but it has muted my anxiety in the past.
 
I have used it MANY times while on the come up. Too me the effects of the tab are not effected at all. It just gets rids of the anxiety.

so how do you know that you DONT enjoy xanax?


If your having panic attacks from mdma, i think adding cannabis would be a bad idea, seeing as it has a tendency to greatly increase the anxiety of other drugs
 
Never tried it either, nor do I know anyone who has, but here's an idea: What if the OP takes a Xanax in advance, several hours before she rolls? I'm not sure how long a Xanax is supposed to last, but let's say it lasts 6 hours--What if she takes one, waits 5 hours, then takes a pill? That way the effects of the Xanax will wear off during the comeup, after the anxiety goes away?

Very interested in some theories on this...
 
That may be a good idea, as perhaps the Xanax will be wearing off as the roll comes along...

The panic attacks have been so bad, they weren't quite worth the roll. As "messed up" as it sounds, the best (chemical) cure honestly has been to take more MDMA, as once I'm "rolling" I'm good. The longer I take to extend the come-on, the worse.
 
<<--just realized reading that, maybe my answer is to plug (never have) since that kicks it in much quicker apparently. Hard to plug at a festival though, LOL!

Or maybe parachute/chew?

I have general anxiety before any event because I get REALLY excited, so recently I have been taking my first pill before leaving, that way I am already nice and happy before we get there. I am easily entertained by car rides, so it works well for me. I know your anxiety is different, but have you tried dosing earlier? Maybe it will be easier to distract yourself in a more controlled environment.
 
I've done this combo =)

My personal effects were that it can mute MDMA's effects as some people have already said. The WORST part is that you can black out on what you're doing. I get this from drinking and taking mdma and it's worse with benzos. Taking the benzos long before the MDMA would probably work out fine. Plugging MDMA is a waste of a roll. Really hard come up, roll lasts two hours tops. This is all subjective based on my experience.

Dosing earlier wouldn't work if you're going to a party that lasts a long time. You'd be popping ridiculous amounts of MDMA by the end of the night which is quite unsafe in the long run.
 
Did you check out the myriad of Xanax links available in the Directory? Along with whats in here, I suspect you will have some great answers.

Good points all around- I think I may just take the "drink first, roll later" approach with upcomming events, and keep my hydration in check. I'm not a big fan of risking passing out. Plugging concerns me because I've heard friends say it's inflamed their tissue and even caused bleeding- now that would really diminish a roll.
