Not to sound pompus, but here's the poop Greg (or at least my two cents worth), morlality aside...
I try to avoid ecstacy when I'm not medicated b/c the euphoric effects have gone away and it brings me more anxiety than pleasure. Plus, I feel my brain chemistry is too seretonically (a word?) fragile for the drug and usually feel despair later...(this sucks because there's a barier between friends now)
Previously on Prozac and now or Serzone, X is a waste of money and doesn't work (bad side), but nor do I have to deal with aftereffects (good side). This is consistent with what other patients and doctors have told me. Nothing really to fear, only money to waste.
One extra observation: taking ketamine (K) after a failed ecstacy (due to ADs) can trigger some of the X effects, I've found to be true for myself. not worth the money, however.
For those who will respond I have been immoral or have advocated illicit drugs -- that argument has been had in the threads above. Greg is surely an adult and probably knows the club scene well enough to make his own decision. I'm just speaking up as someone whose been there.
