Suicide Tuesday

Suicide Tuesday

Suicide Tuesday (or Mid-week blues, Ecstasy Tuesday) is a slang term for the depressive period following the use of MDMA (ecstasy). This term is currently thought to be in use in Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.Fact|date=January 2008

"Suicide Tuesday" refers to the Tuesday after MDMA use (or, less commonly, methamphetamines), typically on a Friday or Saturday. This is due to depletion of serotonin levels caused by the MDMA high. It is claimed that taking 5-HTP, L-Tryptophan, vitamins, and/or magnesium supplements on the day after use will reduce the depression effect by replenishing serotonin levels [Molly Flannagan, " [http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro01/web2/Flannagan.html Ecstasy: Neurotoxicity and How It Can Be Reduced] ", 2001] .
