Usually, taking XTC leads to several hours of fun, followed by a day or two filled with the unpleasant effects of XTC comedown. Still, no matter how severe these effects of XTC are, people are willing to live through them because of the intense pleasant sensations experienced during the drug high. XTC use is very widespread among teenagers and young people, and ecstasy is one of the most popular club drugs. The desired effects of XTC last for about 3-4 to 6 hours, which is enough to cover a night spent in a club or a disco. Still, the intensity and the duration of the natural antidepressant effects can differ from one person to another.
Starting The Trip
Not only the duration of effects of XTC is different from one user to another, but also the duration that elapses from taking the first pill until the first hit. Experienced users often say that it takes about half an hour in order to get in the mood, and feel the release of serotonin invading the brain. Since this neurotransmitter is responsible for regulating mood, it behaves like a veritable natural antidepressant, and it helps feel like on top of the world. Some people do not even want to wait for half an hour in order to get high, and, in order to reach effects of XTC faster, they crush the pills and swallow or snort them, but these methods are not usually recommended. The most important reason why they are not is because they can make the effects of XTC comedown be worse than usual.
The Duration Of The Roll
XTC use is often called ‘roll’, because of the sensation of being able to ‘roll’ the entire night without feeling any pain or tiredness. Some people roll for about 3-4 hours, before the comedown starts to install. Usually, the effects of XTC comedown will not be felt until the next day, but, if the body increases its tolerance to the drug, they may occur even faster. However, the intense sensations of happiness, well being and love created by the natural antidepressant will be felt at their maximum for at least a few hours, and they are the desired effects of XTC, that everyone covets.
Coming Down From The High
The high caused by the natural antidepressant is not bound to last forever, which is why the effects of XTC comedown are never desired. They do occur, nonetheless, and there is not much users can do about them. They include depression, loss of appetite, insomnia, and anxiety, but, after a day or two, they fade away. This is one of the reasons why XTC use is regulated to once a week by most users; also, it will take the brain a while until it can start making natural antidepressant once again.
Effects of XTC are not only of the pleasant kind, but the desired ones can last for several hours, while partying and dancing.
