I have been an ecstasy user for over 2 months now. The first time I did it, I thought it was the most sensational experience ever, so I began to use it regularly. Everytime I did it the effects were significantly less than the time before and I started to become worried. I did some research and learned about serotonin levels and how 5-HTP can help rebuild them faster.
It was on April 4th, 2 days before my scheduled trip to Germany that I decided to try the 5-HTP. I bought 3 bottles and started doing 1 50mg dosage in the morning and one at night everyday. I continued to do it in Germany everyday until April 16th, when I went to Amsterdam. I was at a head shop when I saw that they were selling 5-HTP in 250mg doses and I asked the man who worked there about it and he verified that it was safe. Instead of buying them, I just began to take 5x50mg 5-HTP in the morning and at night, so a total of 10 5-HTP pills a day. I returned to California the following Wednesday and planned to do ecstasy on the upcoming Friday (April 22) so I bought 3 ecstasy pills. On the Friday I began to take 5-HTP all day.
I started with 5 in the morning, and 5 every few hours after that. By the time I took the first E pill I had eaten 25 5-HTP pills (1250mg). About 30 minutes later my friends and I began to smoke weed at the hotel we were going to be rolling at. The mix of the massive amount of 5-HTP and weed gave me the weirdest but coolest high I have ever had, I called it reverse ecstasy, followed by a come up, instead of a comedown. About 1:15 minutes after I ate the E pill I started to feel different. I felt like something huge was coming but I did not expect what it was. My plan for the whole 5-HTP experiment was to be able to roll like I did the 1st time. That was not what happened! All of a sudden the biggest rush I have ever felt came at once and the E hit me.
It was the most powerful roll I have ever felt, 10x stronger than the first time I did E. It was different than doing ecstasy normally though. My mind was actually swept away to a dream world, the hotel was gone. I thought that my mind had gone to heaven. This was the first outer-body experience from ecstasy. After that my mind returned to the hotel and my entire body began to orgasm for over an hour. They say ecstasy releases your inhibitions, your worries and things like that, but normally you still have boundaries. This was the 1st time that I actually had 0 inhibitions and I began to moan uncontrollably so loud and hard during the whole paradise phase. When the music was put on, my body began to dance by itself. Every part of my body moved to every aspect of the song, flawlessly. I was not in any control over it, I became the song and my body was forced to dance the way the song wanted it to. After that I started doing light shows with my glowsticks on strings. Again, I was not in charge, I became the song and the lightshow created itself.
It was the best show I have ever given and it was flawless. The light trails were like 10 feet long and they were spikey (from the weed I later figured out). After 2 hours of paradise, the roll felt like the 1st time I did E, which was still sensational. I began to take more and more 5-HTP in massive amounts and the other 2 pills eventually. I could feel the ecstasy for over 14 hours, less and less as time passed. My friends were absolutely stunned by what they witnessed and so was I. All I expected was a strong roll, I did not expect to discover paradise, an ecstasy induced dream world. It is not like a really hard roll, but more like a different, but better drug, like an advanced version of ecstasy.
Throughout the next week I did 10-15 5-HTP pills everyday with hopes of having a similar experience. The next Friday I did E again and it was exactly the same! I have now successfully been to paradise twice and am going for a 3rd time next Friday. 5-HTP is very safe, I have had over 100 pills of the 100mg 5-HTP's in one day and never felt any discomfort (though I do not recommend doing this).

MAY 2008 UPDATE:
After review I have determined there to be serious inaccuracies in my post from 2005 (above).
The last paragraph is very incorrect, the second time was not 'exactly the same' -- it produced a more bizarre experience than the first. The actions committed with all the 5-HTP and taking MDMA in such a short time in the report created a lot of health problems afterward.
It was an experiment that worked very very well at first then, like orgasms and moaning, then drastically started to produce effects similar to convulsions and extreme hyperventilation later on with subsequent attempts. When friends began to attempt it, they would throw up from so much 5-HTP and not get the results I had the first time. Ever since the 5 or so reattempts, it ended the ability to feel MDMA at all, caused narcoleptic-type effects, and extreme mania. These experiences also scared a lot of my friends to the point where i haven't spoken to some of them since. Something about the original experience was good beyond explanation, I am just still struggling to figure it all out. I have been researching for 3 years on how it worked and would like to bring the idea back up in the future when there is a way to do it without the after problems. I should have left out the part that encouraged people that this worked every time when it worked perfectly originally, and the rest not so perfectly. I forgot I had written this report until a friend just called me and said he read it and was attempting it. I'd rather people not attempt it until I can make corrections to the experiment.
