> I couldn't bring up the reply to the previous thread on this topic, but I was wondering if it would be safe to use ecstacy while also taking an SSRI. Would it produce any sort of "seratonin syndrome" or serious side effects? Or would a person not feel any affect whatsoever because of the AD? Any knowledge or experiences on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

> gregGreg, I would be very cautious if I were you, combining drugs. In addition to possible drug interactions, I would worry that continued use of drugs to artificially heighten your mood would exacerbate your depression by a contrast effect (when the drug wears off, you will likely be more depressed than you started). I hope this doesn't sound "preachy," but just is something to ponder.--Cindy W
