i dunno wether this should be here or in drugs but feel free to tell me to move it,
if you took ecstasy and beta-blockers would it be any more risky than just taking ecstacy?
i know it isnt safe to mix drugs yardy yardy ya i just wanted to know if anyone knew any info on the subject.

cheers for the reply by the way
im not sure why he's on them, he is very cagey about things like this. the only reason i know what he is on is because we tried to ring nhs direct to ask them on sat night but they only rang us back sun afternoon by which point he had already taken them.
i was getting worried last night because i hadnt heard from him since
I assume it's not good because they're having opposite effects, the ecstacy speeds your heart up whilst the beta blockers slow it down. I imagine that causes strain, dependent on how much ecstacy you were taking.
The extent of interaction has a lot to do with the type of beta blocker – some are “mild” and are used to block panic attacks, but the majority control more serious cardiac/blood vessel functions related to migraines, high blood pressure and chest pain. If you’re taking them for cardiac reasons, you risk losing control of your blood pressure or heartbeat since the amphetamine aspect of ecstasy can increase both. If you’re taking beta blockers for panic attacks, ecstasy can trigger panic attacks so again you’re asking for trouble.
If you’re pre-disposed to medical problems that require beta-blockers, you might want to think twice about using any stimulant - and it’s not likely you’ll be in a position to ask your doctor for advice (assuming you’re under a doctor’s care as many people take them illicitly). Also, beta blockers can cause depression – something else you need to think about with the down side of ecstasy.
stupid boy
i think he just got a bit caught up in the night out and the fact that everyone bar us 2 was caned.
ahh well he's ok and thats all that matters
You're right, but if you think about it in the sense of beta-blockers being prescribed for anxiety disorders, many sufferers use drugs, especially drugs like exstacy and cocaine, as a way to combat their anxiety themselves.
In my case, I'm not on them for anxiety, just on a mild version as I get heart palpitations quite frequently, so only take them when I need them.
I know what I'm on for my panic attacks must be mild, because they've just started me out on it, but I don't want to spaz out in a club if you catch my drift.
Any advice would be pure magic
cheers
Thanks for the advice though, I didnt expect such a quick reply. so, cheers.
how does this contribute to the subject?
You can do beta blockers without XTC? Ofcourse you can! It's a medication,not a drug...
