XTC and Viagra? Sextacy?

[MedicineMan]

Recently SWIM heard of a few people mixing X and viagra and snorting it, they said it was called Sextacy. Has anyone ever heard of this in their area or are the guys off on their own trail?

If you search, you will probably find more information about this topic.

It's been done by many, but may not be that safe. The combination may well give users a headache at least. Why snort it? That would just be painful. SWIM has tried it with no adverse effects, but he says that MDMA does little for him these days.

Sextasy Throughout the country, and Maryland, there have been reports of a new combination of drugs that has been hitting the streets and club scenes. Ecstasy (a drug with stimulant and hallucinogenic effects) and Viagra (a prescription drug for erectile dysfunction) are being used as one, a combination known as "sextasy" or "trail mix7." Together they produce a synergistic effect where the effects of the two drugs are greater then the effect of each drug individually.8
Ecstasy, which research has shown to negatively effect serotonin levels in the brain, has been found to increase the senses of feeling and touch. This physical sensitivity can often lead to an increased sex drive and feelings of intimacy. However, ecstasy can also impair sexual performance, making it more difficult for males to achieve an erection.9 Viagra on the other hand relaxes muscles within the penis allowing for increased blood flow necessary to achieve and maintain an erection.10
By combining the two drugs users are attempting to defeat the impotence side effect of ecstasy in order to increase sexual performance and functioning. And although having sex may not be the intention in combining Viagra with ecstasy, sex often occurs in these instances leaving both partners open to increased risks of sexually transmitted diseases.11 But regardless, even without the involvement of sex, the mixture of these two drugs can produce severe side effects. One of the most well-known and frequent is known as "priapism," a condition in which an erection can last for four hours, which can lead to permanent damage.12
The most current research involving these two drugs took place in San Francisco where researches found that about 43% of gay men surveyed were using ecstasy in combination with Viagra.13

Priapism?

That seems as unlikely an outcome of this combination as a headache precipitated by taking Advil. I've always thought that negative cardio-vascular side effects would be much more likely. OTOH SWIM is often so aroused thorughout his MDMA trips that perhaps if he had an erection the whole time, it might be a problem?

[enquirewithin]

Probably if priapism or heart attacks resulting from the combination of MDMA and viagra were very likely, we would have heard by now, especially as so many gay men apparently like it! But the combination doesn't sound exactly healthy.

Viagra only works if you are aroused-- SWIM's mind always wanders anyway.... But then for SWIR that might be a problem!

Swim has no experience with xtc.

Actually, it kind of brings swim to a new plateau...

[warlockcanada]

SWIM says that both can be combined and a great experience will come butthe user should cut both doses in half as it can be dangerous.

This isn't quite the same thing, but swim's SO has combined methylone and tadalafil on many occasions and had no adverse effects but for lightheadedness, which he attributed to the tadalafil lowering his blood pressure.
