Ecstasy and Anxiety

I have a question here.  About a year or year and a half ago i used ecstasy about 10 times.  Totaling 10 or 12 doses.  About 6 months ago I lost 80 pounds had no appetite, and had severe anxiety proplems.  I have seen a doctor about it, and they put me on paxil cr, and it has since helped.  Gaining weigt now, and eating better.  I am wondering if this will cure my problem, or will i always have to take the paxil.  Is there anything i can do to help myself.  I know this was the dumbest thing i have ever done.  Wish i would have never tried it.  Also used to be an avid pot smoker, i have also stopped this as well.  Any information you can give me on what is wrong with me and how to fix it will be greatly appreciated.

I too have done extacy. A little more than you though. I did probably between 700-1000 pills over a 6th month time frame back in 2005. Around my 5th month I was no longer getting as high and I was starting to have anxiety while on it. I was always checking my heart beat and my breathing and my head always felt like a brain anyersm had popped or something. I still did extacy for about another 2 months though, taking between 10 and 20 pills a night. Well over a 24 hour spand. I went from taking a pill every 2 hours to 1 1/2 every 2 hours. The more i did the more paranoid i would get. My friends though were not like this. They were still getting the high they were getting before. So i finally decided to do no more. No I am left with panic disorder. Im stress about all the symptoms that are happening in my head. And then i have panic attacks. I am now on 10mg a day of Paxil and it is doing me no good.  I feel a little better but the anxiety is still there. So, yes it does happen and No not to everybody. I have friends that are still doing E that ws doing it with me, at the same doses as me and are still doing it. No axiety at all. Ive read many things on the net and there are people out there like us whose heads get ****** up on E but i believe it is just a small percentage. Sorry to hear about your condition but believe me your not alone.

For what it's worth, I've done tons of X over many years and never had any anxiety from it.
