well,been doing E's for about a year and a half now,week in week out!
the thing is it all started with a half and now can do about 7 a night and maybe a little k. im in my late twenty's so started late in life compared to today's young generation,any way back to the question.
i dont get the pleasure i first got,i have once managed to go a few weeks off but that still did not help,it's not that im a dependent on them it's just that there around me all the time so it's hard to say no. if i stay in i feel im missing out on a great night and if i go out and do no drugs and just drink then i still feel im missing out! it seem's my body is used to it so i want to know if anyone got any idea's on how to clean's the body of all these toxin's for a few week's so i will feel fresh again. just for the record i do keep fit.

The best advice I can offer is to go without for longer periods. I leave it 1-2 months between each pill-night-out, and just go out drinking in between. The drinking nights are spent in pubs & clubs that aren't drug culture, cos like you know yourself, if the pills are there you'll take them regardless of good intentions!! If there are a couple of your mates that feel the same way, maybe you guys could try to do this as a group and then you wont feel like you're missing anything? It makes those big nights out more special and the anticipation is great <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I don't know what else you can do? If anyone has any suggestions, my mates would love to hear them too...
Really your pill days will never be what they once were, my course of action would be to take them less often after a long break, but thats easier said than done ! Its a reality we must all face one day, sort of the end of an era, your not alone, what ever you decide to do there are negatives to it, and you must decide which negatives you are willing to endure ? You can get vitamins which help replenish seretonin (the chemical in your brain which pills effect) this would help but not greatly !
alot of the above isn't good advice, but they are options, your old enough now to be aware of the risks and to make informed decisions, hope you find a way of enjoying them again <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
a simple break of a few weeks wont do it
Take a 6 month break and then go out and drop 1, and see what its like.
ideally u r supposed to leave atleast a 1 month gap between goin out and getting fucked.
It takes 2 weeks to rebuild all/most/enuff serotonin, but u must leave it longer for your brain to repair the rest of the damage it has done to itself. The more damage u have done to it the longer it needs to repair itself. In your case i recommend a 6 month break and see what happens from there.
But u may also find from this break that when u come to take pills again u wont have the same desire to do them as much.
Its up to u
as for taking 6 month's off you would have have to tie me up and lock me away befor i could go that long! Cheers again all...
After the first 4/5 weeks it becomes sooooo much easier to say no <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
5-htp can be bought from holland and barret, or other health type stores. Its bout £15 for a bottle of 60 i think (yer it is pretty expensive)
The way i do it is i get fucked like once a month to once every 2 months. but each time i get fucked its a big reason (a big festival, my best m8s b'day, my b'day)
Its glastonbury (if thats what u mean by glasto). If it was me id go out and get fucked coz its a big event that dont happen week in week out. But i wudnt do anything for a month atleast beforehand, and take a few weeks off afterwards as well.

In the long term, I think I will totally give up pills at some point in my life. That will be when I get older and have more responsibilities. After all, could you imagine a dad pilled up in front of his sons? <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
By the way, to reduce the damage of the brain, don't take 7 pills a night. In my experience, if one or two pills dont work, then it just won't work, no matter how much more you take. <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
