In reply to Ecstasy and the use of Benadryl the next morning, posted by alberto on August 31, 2002, at 0:50:18
Why fool around with Benadryl? Is it that you can't get a hold of a stronger benzo or hypnotic? I've done XTC oh, probably 10 times and experienced some of the most sublime blissful Universal states of compassion before or since. It may well have wrought damage to my neuro terminals, however, I can't imagine going my life through without having had that glimpse of something so transcendent. The main drawback was the coming down where I couldn't sleep at all and ended up feeling frazzled and burnt. I don't think Benedryl is going to even you out or give you the sedating effect you need. It won't necessarily hurt you, but somewhere in the back of my head I'm remembering that a power anti-histiminic effect can contribute to depression - and xtc can certainly cause rebound depression. I'd also do a double-check on taking xtra SSRI's as well since xtc acts on the serotonergic system and it's not clear what effect SSRI will have. But definitely B complex - lots. And valium, lorezapam, xanax is a much better bet than benedryl. Happy trails. And BTW, I'm really curious how many folks out there predicting that next stop is vegetable land have any first hand experience of this subject?
