To tell you the truth dude, ask your doctor. It may sound weird but you can nearly guarantee the right answer. If you don't want to ask your docotor, try the pharamacist, but you cant trust your answers from a drug forum for this question. Good luck man

Yeah, it's not as bad an idea as it sounds. You have doctor-patient
confidentiality, so he can't narc you out. Or at least, shouldn't.

yeah, but any good doctor would say, "you shouldn't be doing ecstacy at all, let alone while on chemo." soundsa littlerisky to me, but i am no medical professional...

Being ill drains your streinght. And so will extacy afterwards, making you feel alot worse. If you dont wanna wait until youre in better health, ask your doctor. He has no reason to rat you out for contemplating to try a drug.

I readan experience report on erowid awhile back about a girl who used to take E and she was talking about longterm side effects, and how she thought her immune system had been badly affected by taking alot often.I myself always seem to have a cold (3-4 a year,and i get alot of mild colds on top of that amount).So i tend to think the same as her.


if you want to take them for clubbing and you club alot, don't take them, You will end up needing them whenever you go out,I took too many, now, if i could change things and have my mental clarity back i would.I took them regulary for4 years, i didnt think much about the rest of my life.


Im not against pills, i would still have the odd one, Moderation is what its all about.


But in your case probably none at all would be better

Being on Chemo takes a lot out of you anyway, I know, been there, got the whole souvenir kit. But, the mood stabilizers themselves would be a huge WARNING sign for me. Ecstacy messes w/ your seratonin and dopamine, these are the chemicals your brain uses to stabilize your moods, so...IMO, though it may not be much, I would say, ask your doctor (as previously suggested), or just don't even try it right now. Wait until your health has improved.

I agree - Risperdol and Depakote are heavy medicines. If you have a mood disorder that bad I advise staying off E as it causes your neurotransmitters to bottom out 3-4 days later ('Suicide Tuesday' as it is known in some clubbing circles... 4 days after 'Happy Friday'!)
Also, risperdol enhances serotonin and could amplify your body temperature, cause shakes and excessive jaw clenching.
Watch yourself!
