In reply to MDMA and depression, posted by Cylse on July 23, 2001, at 16:04:51
I had a friend who was bipolar and tried ectascy. He said afterwards (maybe after the high went off or later on) he got very depressed and suicidal. But at some point after that he went off all medication and seemed to be doing ok, not sure how he is now though.
I've read of prozac being done right after MDMA to prevent the extreme crashing.
There's an antihystamine called hydroxyzine (generic name) that is used for anxiety. But you shouldn't take it for more than 3 months because of possible liver damage. I found it helped with my anxiety (but maybe it was the placebo effect) when my allergist gave it to me. I've tried buspar, prozac, paxil, and klonopin and ativan for airplane rides. The allergy med Zyrtec is supposed to somewhat similar to hydroxyzine. HAs some of the same chemicals or maybe based on it or something...I know if you react bad to one (allergic to it?) you shouldn't take the other and my doc said it was good. So if you suffer from allergies maybe try that route?
Maybe prozac would help? It is what people take immediately after MDMA according to some article I read somewhere. Maybe a small dose would help.
