Positive experiences
“I feel that MDMA changed my personality forever, in a good way.”
“Fantastic. Helped my think through alot of the things I was ruminating over.”
“MDMA, on the other hand, makes me extremely calm and happy in a nice balanced way.”
“The only thing that works for me is low dose LSD or MDMA (but not MDA)”
“whenever I am over-stimulated, I become more sociable, such as when I use mdma, cocaine, energy drinks etc.”
“If you are looking for relaxed and sociable for an occasional event, I don't know of a better chemical fix than MDMA”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Probably great for PTSD but it did nothing really for me. I mean great experience but against depressive or anxiety symptoms it doesn't do shit long-term.”
“I don't feel I ever fully recovered and that's been over 20 years now. I can still remember the lows afterwards like yesterday.”
“I took my 200mg dose and felt absolutely nothing. The only thing I got out of it was the inability to sleep, and urinate.”
“I use to take 3 MDMA caps in a night at trance and psytrance events monthly for 3 years but stopped after reading a metastudy about long term effects”
“Alcohol + MDMA is the magic substance to cure my social anxiety. That's why MDMA and alcohol worked so well for you. They don't just target one system; they hit everything at once”
“MDMA does cause death of serotonergic neurons, brain hyperthermia and high levels of oxidative stress in the brain. I noticed memory deficits afterwards, which gradually diminished with time. But each time I used MDMA, the negative effects on my memory became worse as if it was accumulative.”
