I dont know, this might sound silly, but I do think about it sometimes, and wondered what others thoughts were.
Many people would be aware that when coming down from pills in the 2-3 days after consumption, feelings of sadness, depression etc. are reasonably common, which is explained by the fact that your seratonin levels are lower than usual.
However, my own thoughts on coming down are that its not due to any kind of serotonin imbalance in my brain, but the simple fact that I have just had an amazingly good time with all of the people that I love, and now that it is over I miss my friends and the fun we had. I get the feeling that if I could only be with all of my friends again, everything would be OK (which is difficult in my case because half of my friends live away from the city and only come down for raves.)
I know that scientifically speaking, ecstacy comedowns are all to do with serotonin depletion, but I sort of like my idea that its all to do with love, not some chemical imbalance, and I can use the feeling to boost the anticipation of the next time we all go out.
So to open this up for debate, what do other people feel when they come down ?
Can you beat a bad comedown with positive thinking rather than 5htp ?
