Is the depression hangover guaranteed when you take XTC?

I know how XTC works, using up your happy for the week, but I wonder – is that always the case? I mean, when I get fitshaced drinking alcohol, I don’t necessarily get a hangover either. Is it possible that you’re fine the day after taking XTC? And what are the natural chances?

No. It will drain your serotonin though. But you may not feel the hangover. The more pills you eat though, will make the hangover more intense.
It’s not a hangover. Ecstacy/XTC could be a variety of chemicals that give you a “crash” feeling after the effects of the drug wears off. Amphetamines, Piperazines, and other chemicals can cause a loss of sleep and appetite. They can also drastically effect your mood and energy levels. This is because of their effect of serotonin and dopamine, important neurotransmitters that regulate brain function. Often XTC in pill form is aldulterated and is not pure MDMA. You can see a range of pills and their contents here :

Pure MDMA or the chemical that is orginally in X does not give you a hangover. You will get a short-term drop in your serotonin levels because of the reuptake inhibition that the drug causes. Most people don’t even notice this and it returns to normal after a week or so. For some there might be a mild bit of depression or feeling of nostalgia due to missing the effects of the drug. It is worth noting that the depression can come with repeated use because every time you take X it changes the serotonin axial terminals. These are key structures in your brain that allow it to control mood, apetite ect. If you take X repeatedly too many times you can change your brain structure permanently. The long-term effects of such changes are not known so it is wise to be careful when using X. Use it few times if at all. There are substances that are safer and don’t damage the brain like mushrooms, cacti, and ayahuasca that can elicit the same euphoria, insight and empathy of an ecstacy trip.
The best choice to reduce risk would be to not use XTC at all. But if you must, get a test kit, and make sure what you have is real MDMA. you can buy a test kit on the internet by searching “marquis test” or “mecke test” in google.
I am usually a drained happy after taking it. Not depressed just drained and in a good state of mind. If you take Paxil or another similar pill once you start to come down, it can help reduce the hangover by like 50%.
The poster above is correct on everything. If you do decide to take it you need to make sure you space it out enough not to do damage to your serotonin receptors like 3 months in between. It can be done safely if you are informed about it, but you can do a lot of damage doing it every weekend. And yes the things sold as Ecstasy are worse than ecstasy, get a testing kit, It could save your life and your pocket book from buying crap pills.
Not really. sometimes when i roll i feel depressed afterward, but most of the time itz just this unhappy feeling, i wouldnt say itz depression, itz just….idk itz pretty hard to describe. Whatever it is, it sure as hell is worth it
