Helping an MDMA enthusiast with loss of magic

Even though MDMA causes the release of serotonin other things like MAOI's prevent the breakdown of serotonin (essentially causing the same effect).

And even though drugs like LSD, shrooms, DMT, and mescaline dont release serotonin. They are serotonin agonists, which means they affect the 5-HT system's function.Sso this might still affect the downregulation of serotonin receptors.

And the reson why there are mixed answers about whether the body even recovers at all is because there is no conclusive evidence that the brain ever does come back from downregulation. In theory, taking a good amount of time off drugs that stimulate the serotonin system might allow the brain to come back, there anecdotal evidence that shows that the brain never fully returns.

 

Oh man, dude i feel your pain.

I had a nice little affair with mdma for a month about 2 years ago, doing it once a week, and the girlfriend made me stop. We dated for another 6 months or so, and i missed my other girl [x] a lot, so when we broke up, it was only natural to find x again. Well, ironically, i found a good connect for it at that time [4 rolls, $50 bucks. woot.] And i proceeded to roll every few days for months. I'm really lightweight [130 lbs. at 18], so 1-2 usually did me in... for the first month. Then it just got out of hand. taking a few rolls I wouldn't feel anything. The magic connect disappeared, and i had no choice but to lose my lover, though i don't think my brain will let me love rolls nearly as much as i'd like to, for a really long long time, if not ever.

Moral of the story; moderation.

But, i just wanted to let you know i feel your pain brah. mdma was the best substance i ever used, to this day. topping lsd, shrooms, everything. I miss her a lot :[

maybe one day we'll meet again..

 

you guys should try AMT. 25mg of that is like ~80mg MDMA and it lasts 8 hours. Less intense, but allllll day.

 

Ive used mdma for years back in uni, by the end of my mdma era i was taking 20 20mg pills a night.... way too much and yet it wasnt helping at all to even get close to my first few trips with just one pill.... anyways i decided to stop and went cold turkey for two years before deciding to pop a pill again at a festival... tbh, it was just alright... magic was still there but i guess my amazement to it wasnt... i really think it’s psychological (assuming you have taken a break and allowed your brain to reset). Youll never be as amazed as your first time at any experience in life...
