In reply to Can an Acid Trip cause severe depression?, posted by Jefff on October 3, 2002, at 16:08:56
I've been suffering through a severe anxiety disorder most of my life. I've always showed signs of it but through the years it's gotten much worse. I honestly believe that part of the trigger that made it so bad was all the acid that I did during my teenage years. But on the other hand, I think I might have just been doing it because my anxiety was screwing up everything else and I just didn't care *shrugs*
On the extacy level though... let's just say that for anybody with a little bit of a chemical imbalance, that stuff is HORRIBLE. One of my good friends had a chemical imbalance in his head, I forget exactly what it was called but it was pretty severe, made him pretty psychotic, and he didn't know about it untill he really started binging on the old Extacy. I mean there were signs since his brother has it and his father has it but we all believed that it passed him in the family tree. Then one night after doing E, he went nuts, beat the crap out of his girlfriend, trashed his house, beat up two of his friends who came and tried to stop him, had to be sedated and took to the hospital, once there and he had a bunch of tests done on him where they found out that his brain had produced waaaaay too much of this certain chemical, found out that he had been doing very high levels of Extacy, and the Doctor's words which basically shook everybody were "if you had popped one more pill, you would be lucky not to be a vegetable". My friend is better now though he had to spend 6 months in a hospital and lost about 100lbs (which is good though since he was pretty overweight) and is completely sober now but will be on medication for the rest of his life.
So that's my belief, Extacy is extremely dangerous if you even have a small chemical imbalance. For somebody to do it while they're on medication, you're basically asking for a death wish.
