Whats the difference between MDMA and Legal Anti depressants?

MDMA (street name: almost always called Ecstasy, Ex, or simply E) is not an anti-depressent, its a dangerous and illegal street drug. If you took Ecstasy every day for depression you would end up much worse then you were before you started taking it. The drug is considered a "psychedelic amphetamine" which means it speeds up your body and even causes mild hallucinations in some people. The MDMA will produce a speedy and euphoric effect that will only last about 2 hours and leave you extremely depressed and unhappy afterwards, you will need increasingly heavier dosages to get the same effect (some people will take many pills at once to get the same effect as one did the first time.) Something else to consider is if the pill you buy even contains MDMA. There are tons of fakes on the market and some contain very dangerous drugs and chemicals (DXM, large doses of caffiene, poisonous substances, perscription medication, allergy medication,etc..) MDMA pills tend to be addictive and very expensive (between 10-30+ US dollars per pill) and often exhaust a users financial means very quickly. There have been studies to show that MDMA and MDA cause permanent brain damage. There have been many deaths related to poison pills, overdoses, dehydration, heat stroke, etc.. Ecstacy is classified as a schedule 1 narcotic in the US, this means it is a felony to buy, posess, use, and sell the substance.

Legal anti-depressants are made especially for depression as the name implys. However, there are many different types of anti-depressants and they work in different ways. One of the most popular types is a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibiter) it works by causing your brain to produce more serotonin then it was making naturally. This causes the original chemical imbalance to be corrected to normal levels, thus making you feel better. Another popular type is the TCA (Tricyclic) these inhibit the re-uptake of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, dopamine, or serotonin by nerve cells. This also causes a patient to feel better. Both types of medication are safe to take over a prolonged period of time and both take as long as a month to build up in the system enough to cause the intended effect. These drugs should only be taken when perscribed and monitored by a doctor (preferably a psychiatrist)

Hope this helps!

MDMA taken in a pure form wont hurt you unless its cut with heroine or something dangerous.
Make sure you have plenty of water (E testing kits are on ebay)

Anti deps are prescribed from doctors to every human being
basically because Doctors don't believe in psychologists. Report It

MDMA is the pure form of ecstacy. AD's do not contain MDMA or ecstacy. MDMA increases your heart rate and has hallucinagenic effetcs. AD's increase the levels of seratonin in your brain.

mdma can kill a person the 1st time they take it if they are allergic or what ever. anti depressants are a drug taken for a medical reason I've never heard of any1 dying from a bad reaction to anti-depressants.
also mdma makes folk dance to very very bad music that fact alone is reason enough for it to be illegal
