Indeed, my first reaction to that statement was that that is not typical. It happens, sure, but for me it is always so fascinating that the MDMA / Ecstacy trips just kind of switch on and off, and everything afterwards is as it was before. Perception of colors, shapes, people... phases back in, but there is no real down phase. The next days are a little drab, maybe, with the serotonin level being rebuild, but not really down, just maybe less party feeling. I never took too big of a dossis though, maybe that's the reason?

The day after MDMA always is shot in my personal experiences. Very lethargic, feeling worn out and out of it.

The day after taking LSD on the other hand was a great. Was very productive and motivated.

To each their own.

EDIT: Important to note than I'm never active on MDMA, always a couch potato so the feelings of lethargy may differ.

AFAIR that's a swing of serotonin level (typical with MDMA).

Yeah but if you use it frequently you will.

Why?

Serotonine depletion, or something like that. It's a bad idea to use MDMA frequently anyway because of its neurotoxicity.
