> i have jsut started taking effexor. I take ectasy occasionly, i wondered would there be any really bad effects? does anyone know? or is it pretty much like the warning about not drinking which does not seen to make any odds? thanks.
Any serotonin antidepressant and ecstacy equals serotonin syndrome. I've seen it and experienced it.I've also been hospitalized for inadvertent problems wth effexor and meth {ampehtamine poisoning}.
It's no joke. One of my psychiatrists said many years ago when I was prone to such activity that I should get off the antidepressant a week before I use anything fi i wanted to live.
He also said if I were on Wellbutrin that I would need to do the same.
I am not advocating your activity no matter what peter Jennings says because each person is different, it's not legal, and you don't know what you are buying anyways {it's not like we always ask or get solid information about guinea pig experiences before we shell out the money to strange people}. However, don't risk your health, time and $$ on trying to cheat this. This is not official medical advice either.
