has anyone on this site taken extacy? im thinking this drug might've been what did me in finally. it all started with pot but i don't think pot is as extreme as this drug. also i've takes shrooms, but i think extacy is the culprit. damn me for not listening to the damn warnings!

I think ecstacy may have given me the final shove I needed into panic attacks, but it was just a matter of time before I started having them anyway.

No, I've never tried X. I've had plenty of friends who have and have been somewhat "pressured" to try it (but I never will).

What pushed me over the edge was a night with LSD and pot - tempered with way too much alcohol. The mixture was too much and the world just split right down the f'in middle.

It scared me so much that I limit even my caffeine intake to this very day (out of fear of any kind of drug). If I start to feel hyper, for whatever reason, it can bother me greatly.

X made me worse, LSD didn't help matters, and pot made me paranoid. I don't touch any of it any more, nor will I use shrooms ever again. My symptoms are enough that I don't want to tamper with my brain and immune system anymore than I have to.

I've tried too much...

 

[Martinelv]

X caused my second bout of DR. Basically, because I over did it. Since then I've foolishly taken them now and again, with no problems. Now that I have to have my blood taken every other day, I'm can't even dare to take something as strong as coffee, damn them.

so you're feeling relatively good nowadays Martinelv?

 

[Guest]

Why do you get your bleed taken martinelv?

I didn't really have much of a problem with xtc. The only trouble was that as a stimulant, it tends to overwork my mind and the sketch induces anxiety, and anxiety leads to...

My DP came from ecstasy - not so much from the chemical itself, but more from the psychological impact of having a rather nasty "bad trip" on it.

I've heard it's particularly bad for DP, however, since it messes with neurotransmitter receptors in the brain or whatever they call that stuff.

I had a bad trip on it too, and then after that I started having panic attacks. But for me the bad trip was more physical. I was shaking really bad and had these muscle spasms. But the night started with me being really anxious and uneasy. I had been feeling that way for a few days really and I was about to crack anyway. Then after the x about 2 weeks later I had my monster panic attack and now here I am.

i think one of the problems with esctascy with dp is that you keep thinking "is this a good pill? am i feeling the effects?" and when you start analysing its effects, you analyse dp/dr too.

 

[Martinelv]

Because I have cancer, and I have to have blood serum samples taken every two days.

But yes, apart from that minor irritation I don't have DR or DP. Other neurotic complaints, but DR or DP has never returned. And I thank 'whoever' for that.

I took X and LSD and I consider DR very comparable to comming down off a trip! I never had an episode while on either though. I did have my very first during a time when I smoked pot mixed with opium. I never thought about it cause I considered it an entirely drug enduced thing! Almost 18mo latter I had another when I was drunk and smoked some pot! I freaked out to say the lease! Again I considered it entirely a drug thing and thought nothing of it. From then on out though my enjoyment of pot lessened and lessened! I began feeling this way whenever I spoked! I have not done any drugs in @ 2 1/2 years. I had my first non drug episode a year ago.

my initial dp started due to abuse of xtasy. i'd taken alot of other stuff before and since(though not so much) and was fine.

 

[Da'Burgh]

I can't see how anyone could continue doing narcotics of any kind while having anxiety, let alone DP and or DR. It would destroy me.

 

[Guest]

i think dp/dr is the reason why i do more drugs. I have no emotional attachment to last night. It doesn't matter if last night after taknig alot of of amphetamines i thought shadows in my hgouse were trying to steal my body. As scared and repentant i was then, i know i'm gonna put myself through the same stuff tommorow.

 

[Da'Burgh]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. How will you ever recover then?

 

[Guest]

by a blatantly undeserved stroke of luck?

 

[squish_is_me]

I sorta agree with daburge here... I mean it sounds like you are pacifying your need to feel whatever in stead of dealing with it to be able to recover... I hope that doesnt sound harsh I am not trying to be mean.

wow... taking speed with dp? you're a brave soul :roll:
