My Xtasy experiences

[Darchy]

I'm not sure if this can benefit anyone, but anyway here's a brief insight into how my life changed the 6 or so months that I was taking X.

The first two times I had it were two of the best nights I can remember partying. I started taking it reguarly after that and it became an addiction where I felt I had to have it every weekend. basically I was a weekend-pill-junkie.

I never noticed any serious physical/mental changes in myself during that time, but it it did begin to dominate my personal life. I was constantly blowing ALL my hard-earned money on pills, pot, drinks and taxi rides in as little as 2 days. Not to mention all the time I had to spend tracking down the shit in the first place.

Now that I've been off all drugs (except the occasional drink *clap on the back*) for the past 8 months, I can sit back and really analyse it all.
Some of my most cherished memories involve being off my face, and although I dont really regret my experiences, I'm glad that I've been able to put it all behind me. Theres whole lot more to life than getting wasted every weekend, I mean for the money it costed me to feed my drug habits, I could have taken a holiday to Europe and bought myself a car.

yes I'll have it again one day and I'll have a great time sweating my ass off dancing around like a feral, but I reckon it's one of lifes pleasures that only needs to be done once in awhile.

Tip: Natural highs? try Scuba Diving down 40 Metres or race a horse through some trees.

I have done X a lot of time and you feel great at that time but its after that you feel sick and you can not handle it . You get angry and lots of bad effects come up .

I have never become angry while taking pills, and neither has anyone I know. It makes you fall in love with everyone. i think that's where the name comes from. Although you can feel like death the next day if you take too many. The thing with pills is, the first one you ever take is amazing, but it the high you get seems to decrease, as you become tolerant of them, so you end up taking more and more, and it's never as good as the first time. I took far far too many when I was a bit younger, as you say, living for the weekend, and spending my nights worrying about picking up, rather than enjoying the night for itself. I found after a while that I was experiencing sleep paralysis though, which is really scary when it happens,and so i realsied it was probably time to slow down.

Hi,

I have never personally taken x however in June this year my beautiful step son did and it killed him. He leaves a 7 year old son and partner. He had used it before - had previously had a 10+ year addiction. Went out one saturday night was tempted and took a tablet. He died on the way home from his night out. The verdict was MDMA overdose.

Please people don't let your loved ones go through what our family has. Please keep safe and look after yourselves. A pill is really not worth dying for.

Darchy - well done you - keep up the GREAT work and never look back :)

Very big hugs xxxx

I have never done this, thank the lord. But have heard many stories about it and how it has affected peoples lives. I think that if more people were taught about it that they might not be out to do this. Now what happens when you are given this and do not know it. I am not sure how to respond to that.

One of the worst things that stuff like X does to you is to deplete your bank account. Drugs are expensive and since the substance is addictive, you have to spend more and more money onto it. X makes you do incredibly stupid things. I've seen people literally jump off buildings while on it.

I bet you haven't. That is SUCH an old wives tale. Firstly the urban legend about people thinking they can fly relates to LSD not x, because LSD makes you halucinate, and pills don't. Seondly, I have never, ever heard of anyone being addicted to xtasy pills. Crack. Yes. Heroin. Yes. Pills? No. People don't die from taking the pills either, they either die from the dehydration they cause, or from drowning theselves by drinking too much water when they're high. When Leah Betts was all over the British press after dying from taking pills, they failed to mention she had drunk litres and litres of water during the evening, and had effectively drowned herself.

Just as an after though as well, xcstacy is also not expensive, it has massively decreased in price over the past decade. You used to pay about a tenner for a pill back when I was doing them, but nowadays you can get them for a few quid, max.

No, actually I have. People get extremely hyperactive after taking something like X. I've seen them jump off 1 story buildings after take something like X. I'm also seen people get serious medical conditions because of overdose. It does cause increased heart rates and hyperventilation and unlike what you said, you can actually die from it.
