Ecstasy will not help your social phobia. It will make you talk a lot and you'll enjoy it while you're on it, but the crash is terrible. Ecstasy's chemical name is MDMA, with the MA standing for methamphetamine. Long term use is known to cause serious problems in the brain. I took it once, and enjoyed the experience, but I know the damage this substance can do to my noggin in the long run, so I never went back to it. Stimulants also are known to increase anxiety in those already prone to it, so you might not have a good experience at all. Just throwin my 2 cents at ya...

The feeling that you do get from Ecstacy, just like any other drug, may help for the few hours that you are on it.. but once you're not on it anymore, nothing's changed and you feel that much worse. Then if you're like me, you want to get the feeling again, so you do more and more drugs.. eventually they don't give you the same feeling as they originally did, and in my experience, my anxiety and depression got that much worse. I overindulged in the drug/party scene in an attempt to be more social and get over my fears/deal with my own personal demons.. it doesn't work, it just digs a deeper hole for you to have to crawl out of later. I myself became dependent on drugs and alcohol and it's been a very long, dark, and scary road, to the point that I'm not sure if there is any return.

I do want to live and get well.. the really messed up thing about it all is that I am not on drugs or addicted to anything anymore. I got away from all of that but have came to find that I am back at where I started, incredibly scared of the outside world and people, except even more so now because I've spent so many years hiding and being hopelessly addicted

Brain imaging research in humans indicates that Ecstasy causes injury to the brain, affecting neurons that use the chemical serotonin to communicate with other neurons. The serotonin system plays a direct role in regulating mood, aggression, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain. Psychological difficulties, including confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug craving, severe anxiety, and paranoia - during and sometimes weeks after taking Ecstasy.

I wouldn't describe the crash as "terrible," but it is a bit of a let down. You'll need a good sleep afterwards to recover.
Basically for about 6 hours, you'll be loose, talkative, outgoing, energetic and feel intense love for everyone around you.
But when it wears off, you'll have the sinking feeling in your stomach and it'll be like "Shit... back to reality."
Don't forget to drink water while you're on it!!!
I'd have to say it is my favorite drug. I've never had a bad time on E. Just don't get addicted. And like the other posters have said, no drug will cure your anxiety, and addiction will just make it worse so be smart about your drug use.

Don't to forget to mention that the people dying from taking ectsasy drink TOO MUCH water while on it. Its the water that kills them due to ...
Water poisoning. Ecstasy also effects how the body metabolizes water. Because Ecstasy use is often associated with long bouts of dancing, users frequently drink plenty of water. When water metabolization breaks down, the body retains dangerous amounts of water within. This leads to swelling of the brain, which can lead to permanent brain injury or death.
I also would recommend that anyone with SA since childhood stay away from Ecstasy.
It will cure all your symptoms for 6 hours and then (in my case) you could be 10 times worse than you are now. It can be incredibly phsycologically addictive for someone with mental health problems, especially social anxiety.
Across the board it exacerbated my social anxiety, caused body dysmorphic disorder, major depression, paranoia - all the good stuff.
While I would say 'stay away' to anyone with clear cut mental issues, I should point out that my experience taking e was through frequent / sustained use over a short time period. I took them frequently for about 3 months, so its no wonder I cracked really. But I am still recovering nearly 3 years down the line. I am by no means as bad as I was with regards to depression and anxiety, but all I did when I took E was handicap myself even further.
I have ADHD which may have played a part in my lacking sense of responsibility and tendency towards addiction, back when I was taking drugs like ecstasy. Be careful if you have a kind of SA and ADH disorder combination
It will make you worse.

In my experience MDMA is known the "core" of ecstasy, a more pure form. They are sold as two different things here by dealers. MDMA of course at a higher price
Yes and the crash can leave permanent effects too. If you already feeling like shit why would you wanna add to that? Theres no trade off with drugs at all. Drugs alter your mind and can be dangerous experimenting with.
Bottom line, drugs wont fix your life. If you wanna experiment with drugs and risk making yourself worse then its up to you. Theres a reason why its illegal. Not to mention ecstasy has killed people too.
