Never again, on that scale anyway.

One thing about ecstasy/M.D.M.A. to be kind of wary of is that it’s very incompatible with a lot of antidepressants, especially MAOIs (a slightly older class of medication that can be especially good for social anxiety and treatment-resistant depression, whether it’s mildly moderate or severe). Tranylcypromine is somehow related to amphetamine so a lot of people “abuse” it for that reason but that or phenelzine + M.D.M.A. = coma/death. I’m not too sure about SSRIs, tricyclics, venlafaxine and lighter MAOIs (like moclobemide) but at the least it’s probably best not to mix any antidepressants at all with ecstasy. Some girl from my uni. (years ago) died from some sort of overdose and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a case of something like that (mixing the wrong drugs together).
Likewise for diazepam and alcohol. A lot of people take benzo’s (inasmuch as most doctors are pretty hesitant to prescribe them) but mixing Valium with booze can sort of cause people to black out and even incur fatal consequence-effects. I’m guessing you can probably almost always get away with a few beers, a bottle of perry or a glass or two of wine (I drank a lot of beer during the time I was taking diazepam) but anything from more than two glasses of wine upwards it can be quite dangerous. That’s why I wish more doctors would advocate more for the L.O.T. benzodiazepines (lorazepam, oxazepam and temazepam) more than just prescribing Valium or (in America at-least anyway) Xanax. People kind of seem to get by okay-ish drinking moderate amounts of alcohol on clonazepam and maybe Xanax to an extent but I just don’t get why doctors often prefer to prescribe diazepam knowing full-well that the average person likes a good drink and since none of the L.O.T.-benzo’s interfere with alcohol or just-about any other drug. They can sometimes be thought of as tranquillisers for older people because they bypass liver metabolism (and older people, especially if they have any personal history of alcoholism/problem-drinking, are naturally more likely to have hepatic issues) but generally they seem to be safer than the other benzo’s, no matter how young you are or what’s going on with your liver. Lorazepam can be addictive for some people but oxazepam carries a much lesser risk there. And the funny thing is oxazepam’s actually a metabolite of diazepam. I don’t know how you’d be on a night out after taking 60 milligrams of the stuff straight-up one Friday night but it might stop you from getting too freaked out on stimulants if you’re someone who takes them and gets uncomfortable when high on them at times. But with the other benzo’s alcohol’s a no-no. You don’t want to be blacking out to the point of being borderline-comatose or getting aggressive after drinking a few Stellas or some Piot on clonazepam and end up in a jail-cell or asleep for 20 hours. If you want to spend all of Saturday/Sunday in bed or think the highlights of the night before make up for spending the rest of the night in prison then that’s your choice but it does actually need to be your sensible and cognisant/involved choice, not the diazepam-tequila-absinthe-flavoured speedball talking. That’s why you have to be so careful drinking on any of the non.-L.O.T. minor tranquilisers.
