That was exactly why I used to do so much Ecstacy.. being social phobic a night club (or similar) were my idea of total nightmare.. But some ecstacy (which in those days was pretty pure and good) would have me happy, interetsing, un afraid.. and, while if I get drunk I spend days beating myself up over my behaviour.. with mdma involved it was different.
Unfortunately those days have gone, and what you can buy these days is so heavily cut with other rubbish you do experience these terrible come downs / crashes.. thats the problem. I do believe that pure mdma is a wonderful thing and can / does help alot of people.. but Street ecstacy is just not a good idea what so ever.
BUT.. having been a regular user, it does deplete seratonin, and after a relatively short while of use you get the mid week blues.. 3 - 4 days after doing it, I would have two days of very deep depression.. and thats when I stopped using it every weekend.. when the depression was getting harder and harder to get over. And the same for most of my mates too.
