I can see this isn't too popular to respond to. However, I thought this was interesting if you only want to view it:

Is MDMA "ecstasy"?

I've used MDMA recreationally so my feedback probably isn't the best. It has however, brought me out of a depression. When I took it my mood lifted for weeks/months afterward. I believe this is called an 'afterglow' though I'm not sure if this was just my experience or that of many others. I've always had very positive experiences on it and have never plunged into any kind of depression after taking it.

Doesn't it make you want to have sex with everybody?

Thank you for the sincere reply. I am trying to do my research here. And I find it hard to learn about the drug and its implications without good resources. So, I'm on a hunt for more. It's encouraging to hear your feedback. I've tried so many legal medications, I feel I've run out of options. If I'm really trying to get over some horrible things in the past to move on, I would love to try this, but in a controlled setting. I guess I shouldn't really admit that, but I found pc to be the only place i can be honest.

Thanks again for sharing!

No problem.

No doubt you know this but I feel I should say it anyway, if you're going to try it outside of a controlled medical setting then educate yourself to minimize risk. The Netherlands have some of the best and cleanest MDMA in Europe but at the end of the day you still don't know what you're getting. Research 'harm reduction' and websites like 'dance safe', 'erowid' which offer useful information and even links to labs you can send samples to get tested.

Unfortunately as far as I'm aware labs only test to see if there is MDMA in the sample and not purity. Though MDMA is very rarely fatal in recreational doses, chemicals like PMA/PMMA are. This is what kills people.

Personally, I took risks and had a very fulfilling experience, many times. I supplemented with the correct vitamins and compounds such as 5-htp, took it with friends and good company, and never experienced any ill effects. Harm reduction is key, as there will always be risks.

However, despite my experience these are all still risks. As you said, if you could take it in a controlled setting that would be a huge plus. Though I believe there are more prescribed benzodiazepine deaths than there are MDMA deaths.

I think there is definitely evidence to suggest it helps with PTSD and depression. Check out 'MDMA Movie' on Facebook.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
