It is not safe to use XTC
(methamphetamines) during breast-feeding
because it is excreted through the milk.
XTC is also dangerous for the mother. Your
friend must stop abusing XTC! Your very
question is an indication that the drug
use has gotten out of hand. Detoxing from
chemical dependency is not easy. Your
friend does not have to detox by herself;
she can ask for medical assistance. First,
her body will be cleared from the XTC and
then she can seek in-patient treatment for
chemical dependency at a rehabilitation
center.
