Lexapro and ecstasy?!
Question:
Lexapro and ecstasy?
I just started taking lexapro 10 mg for the last month but I really want to go see tiesto in a month and take ecstasy. Is it okay to take both? I heard that it ruins your roll, I really dont know whats more important to me. that might sound sad but i am really looking forward to this rave. Should I stop taking it and start over again? Will that ruin all that lexapro has done for me? I mean I wanst like succidal but I have some anxiety

I guess I should of started off with the whole speech of I know it isnt healthy, I dont plan on doing it very often. Its just so much fun and something I havent gotten over yet. I have only done it 4 times, at 19 I think I can have a little more fun before I need to quit. I however am not going to take it while on another drug if it can cause serious sideffects. I think I know that I need to skip the rave but I cant tell you how therauputic the last estasy trip was. I take the lexapro for social anxiety and depression as it is, and x helped me come out of my shell. I feel invincible and incredible and like a million bucks and that elimates my social fears and inner thoughts that always seem to bring me down. At 19, i have been with a few girls in my day but I have only really felt love once. Before I ever experimented with any drugs I had fallen in love and x is the only way for me to experience a lot of those emotions at this point in my life.

For many, taking ecstasy is the reason for there anxiety/depression. Ecstasy acts on the same chemical in the brain that SSRI's treat, = serotonin. Ecstasy maliciously destroys serotonin, while lexapro is trying to give your body a balanced level. The EX you do the irreversible harm you do to your serotonin receptors. STAY OFF THE EX, it will increase your anxiety ten fold.
