smoking pot does cause paranoia in some people. please go to a counselor,therapist and talk with someone about your depression and your anxiety. self-medicating is not the answer. if you have already had such bad experiences with drugs that should tell your something about using them. yes it will only get worse. you will need to see a psychiatrist to have an evaluation. if needed then he can prescribe you a depression/anxiety
medication. do you have parents/guardians or a trusted adult who can help you and that you can confide in??
hugs and prayers to you

What did the hospital do for you?  Have you thought about getting some help with your drug use?  It goes deeper than just stopping.

*bumping this up to the top* Sorry, I don't have an answer for you Rony. I'm not familiar with how ecstasy effects your serotonin so I have no idea....you really need to ask a doctor about this because SS can be dangerous, as you know. Please make an appointment with a primary care doctor ASAP.
