> giving in to this hysterical bullshit. A few people died and developed all sorts of horrible symptoms during SSRI trials. Does that mean it happens to everybody? no.
I don`t know why you think that I`m giving into `hysterical bullshit`. The post by A.N. was the first I`d ever read about possible detrimental effects of Ecstacy. If you think that I`m somehow taking the moral high ground against recreational drug use, then you`re wrong (I`m not in a position to do this, having indulged myself over the years). The symptoms described matched those of my friend, who has been going out of her mind with worry about what on earth is wrong with her, and there seemed to be similarities. That`s all I was saying. >
> First of all, assuming the symptoms are related to MDMA use, they are happening to two people of of countless numbers of users. With any drug there will be bad reactions. That doesn't mean everybody has one.
I wasn`t saying that.
> Also, how do you know MDMA actually caused the problems?
I don`t. I thought I`d made that clear.
I know many heavy users who never complain of any ill effects from using ecstasy.
Me, too.
On the other hand, ecstasy could very well be causing the symptoms. The bottom line is we don't know. So please don't start a crusade against ecstasy use based on misinformation.
I feel quite upset that you think I`m starting some kind of `crusade`. For a start, I`m not one to do this sort of thing, and secondly, I don`t have enough facts to do so. I hoped that I`d made this clear in my post. A `crusade` is furthest from my mind - in fact, the way I feel most of the time, I couldn`t co-ordinate a vicar`s tea party.
I`m sorry if my remarks were reconstrued - I probably should have kept quiet.
Anna.
