> There's no risk of developing serotonin syndrome from combining Effexor and Ecstasy, because Effexor (as well all the SSRIs) will completely block the effects of MDMA. Basically, it's a waste to use MDMA if you are currently taking Effexor or an SSRI. There are other substances put into MDMA pills that could cause a bad reaction, however. DXM, for instance, often shows up in Ecstasy tablets - and DXM + anti-depressants is a BIG NO-NO.
AD's block MDMA for me, but I find this is not true for everyone. However, MDMA greatly effects
the AD action in me, and I had to wait 4 weeks for the AD's to kick in again. Given all this, plus MDMA tends to make depression worse and I don't think it is a good idea for depressives.
