What does taking ecstasy feel like?

After reading a thread on here I realised I'm possibly in the minority. I never took it, would have been utterly petrified. Loads of my mates did it in their clubbing years... I was never pressured and I don't regret not doing it.

But I do wonder so for those of you who did, what did it feel like?

I've given birth twice. Didn't get any kind of euphoric feeling after.

Ecstacy is by far more intense than any level of euphoria I've experienced in "real" life.

arethereanyusernamesleftatall · 02/12/2019 09:36

The only thing I remember feeling after giving birth the first time was shell shock. And genuinely feeling shocked that my mother (and other women) chose to do that more than once.

LoseLooseLucy · 02/12/2019 09:41

As others have said, a major euphoric feeling. I felt awful and panicky all the next day though. The last time I had one was after watching David Bowie at Glastonbury in 2000 when my friend collapsed after it, it put me off taking anything.

Sex on MDMA is absolutely fucking fantastic, and vice versa.

One of the best bits for me is watching my partner see herself in the mirror when she's up - all of her self doubt and physical insecurities go away and she finally knows how I feel when I look at her.

MrsJBaptiste · 02/12/2019 13:16

God, fantastic. I took far too many in my youth, once I'd had one it was just to easy to take another and another... before you realise you won't be getting to sleep any time soon 😯

I'd do it again if I didn't have kids (and it wasn't embarrassing to do when in your 40s!)

Moominfan · 02/12/2019 13:21

What all the previous posters said. However whatever it gives it also takes. Come downs are horrific and for me just not worth the high. Long time since I've done them and couldn't imagine having to adult and deal with a come down.

Choufleur · 02/12/2019 13:21

Amazing. The rush as you come up makes your body really sensitive. You love everyone and hug people. You get absorbed into the music. Good pills didn't really have a bad come down (I always felt shit because of the speed I usually took at the same time).

Honestly if it was legal and I could go and buy some I would now.

SpamChaudFroid · 02/12/2019 13:34

What would be the soundtrack then?

For me it would have to be

They were amazing times, we felt anything was possible. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. The actual body feeling was amazing, rushes that hit you in waves, along with the euphoria in the head. I didn't even mind the comedown, I'd just spend the next day smoking cannabis wandering around in a hazy maze. None of us touched alcohol as we thought it a dirty drug that our boring parents took.

I was sitting in my little garden a couple of summers ago and thinking what a lovely place to get trashed on ecstasy it would be.

I wouldn't say no now tbh. The kids call it "molly" now apparently.

mencken · 02/12/2019 13:34

I've had all these feelings without ever taking dangerous saddo drugs.

Get outside. Find a fun sport (doesn't need to involve kicking balls or 'teams'). Find a partner that finds you attractive. Forget the ugly photoshopped pics on instagram, learn to love yourself. Dance to music that isn't doofy-doofy-doofy.

none of these things carry risk of death, nor do they support gang violence, cuckooing of the vulnerable, county lines or knife crime.

get a life.

CherryBathBomb · 02/12/2019 13:38

Amazing feeling! Not a care in the world, you love everything and everybody!
Feel rotten the next day though.

I can see a whole lot of Mumsnetters revisiting their youth Grin

SpamChaudFroid · 02/12/2019 13:48

Haha, we could have a MN rave Grin Instead of Flouncers Corner there'd be Gurners Corner.

hardyloveit · 02/12/2019 13:55

@MephistophelesApprentice is right! Sex on mdma or a couple of others meow for one, is insane!!! The best sex ever!

On mdma you love everyone and the feeling is unreal!

Could never do any of the drugs I have done now though...... comedowns can be fucking horrendous and you can go very depressed for a few days or a week after

StormTreader · 02/12/2019 13:57

It's like being lifted up but with all your insecurities and stress left behind, you don't realise how much you carry all the time until you get a chance to check them into the cloakroom for a few hours.

Everything is easy, everyone only has love for you and you for them, it's like a preview taste of what we are told heaven is, just love.

dontalltalkatonce · 02/12/2019 13:59

LOL, I had a lot of 'fun sports' and a great relationship when I did E's and LSD. I found it fun to roll and trip out. I didn't have bad crashes as I smoked homegrown weed when I felt myself coming down. It was a long time ago.

squeekums · 02/12/2019 14:25

Have you given birth? And did you get that totally euphoric feeling immediately after? well, ecstasy is about half as euphoric as that

Euphoric after giving birth? Oh hell no

Id take pills over birth again ANY DAY
I felt more euphoria on the worst pills ive ever had than i did after birth

dontalltalkatonce · 02/12/2019 14:27

Same here, squeekums!

squeekums · 02/12/2019 14:33

Same here, never had a bad experience or come down thanks in large to the greenery

Sports just dont carry the same buzz, i used to play netball. Its NOT the same
the music is encapsulating, more so than most
was NO social media in my day, THANKFULLY lmao
take pills, you love yourself and everyone else

Jodie77 · 02/12/2019 14:37

Like runners high, falling in love and Christmas all at once. It became not worth it for the come down though, but I wouldn't risk it since having kids.

TerrifiedandWorried · 02/12/2019 14:43

You are also unbelievably boring to those who are not on it. Unbelievably.

Jodie77 · 02/12/2019 14:48

@squeekums

High on pethidine probably

dontalltalkatonce · 02/12/2019 14:50

Yes, well, you usually do it with friends who are also doing it, as a group activity. Hmm

oohnicevase · 02/12/2019 14:51

@TheUnquestionedAnswer I'm the same , I've always had a big personality and can enjoy stuff without drugs and Leah Betts was enough to scare me off all drugs , I've never even tried a splif 🤷‍♀️.

TerrifiedandWorried · 02/12/2019 14:53

Yes, and then waffle on about it for days. And then all conversations become about the last time or the next time or where you're getting the next E.

Schwibble · 02/12/2019 14:58

So I've missed out through never taking it.

Was always to scared to after the Leah Betts story and never knew where to get it from anyway, still wouldn't know.

Kinsters · 02/12/2019 15:03

It's the most pleasurable feeling I've ever felt - everything seems perfect and beautiful. The first time you do it anyway, after that it loses its magic a bit I find and you see through the illusion much more easily.

I've taken it three times and that's enough for me. I've never found the next day comedowns too harsh - I hate the feeling of realising that the beauty/pleasure is fake though which is why I won't do it again.
