I see that you are actually correct, and I believe I let my prudishness impede a more thorough investigation. To me, it seems unwise for a depressed person already on an antidepressant to be taking Ecstasy, which is a drug that I perceive as dangerous and having long term deleterious effects, but I must admit to never having used it and only being vaguely familiar with it. However, my own use of alcohol while on antidepressants is also a practice some people might feel is dangerous and stupid, but it has not generally not been a big problem for me with most of the ADs I've been on.
