Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forums so if I go about anything the wrong way please help educate me (ex. where to post, using wrong phrases etc.)
I am curious and trying to compile research on how MDMA effects anxiety and depression in the long term. Not by over using or abusing the substance, but more in terms of proper dosing on a semi frequent basis or micro-dosing. I have read many articles about it being effective in treating PTSD in many veterans but I am more curious about whether or not it could boost your overall serotonin production resulting in less severe or "cured" depression. Could it be taken in small doses and eventually not at all and result in positive long term effects on mental health?
Could it also help prevent anxiety? I have also heard that overuse of the drug can essentially result in your brain being unable to produce serotonin resulting in a sort of permanent depression, is this factual? I know that LSD has very positive effects on anxiety and depression and overall brain function, Does MDMA have the same or similar effect in controlled doses? I have had 3-4 tested MDMA experiences each time taking no more than a tenth, each time I have noticed improvements in my depression and anxiety and my ability to cope with them in the long term without drug (illicit or prescription) has become better overall. Is this just some sort of placebo effect or is there actual evidence and research to back this up? I am unsure where to look for non biased anti drug answers to these questions.
If this post does not belong in this forum please help direct me somewhere my questions can be answered. I have a busy schedule so my response time back to any responses I receive may be scattered. If this post should not be in this forum but you have answers to my questions or can provide cited articles, please feel free to send me a private message or email.
Thank you for any help in advance, any attempt to answer my questions or point me in the right direction is much appreciated. I look forward to talking with many of you as I get used to the flow of the website.
