Cool post Transform, thanks for the educamation w.r.t. the SERT thing. Had been wondering for a while because my DOCs at the moment (well I'm clean now, but when I eventually do take the plunge again) are MXE and 4-FA, which, as we know, is rather MDMAesque, and I had my concerns about that.
Haven't had Suicide Tuesdays in 4 years (since I stopped using MDMA) and absolutely could not cope with it again. And btw, I was never in the "all-night gurner" variety. The most pills I've ever taken was 3 in one night, never taken more than 2 besides that. I do agree, MDMA should be used as a "soul-expanding" substance, not to get fucked (which seems to be an attitude far more prevalent in the UK/Netherlands than anywhere else, from my experience).
Even knowing what you just told me about MXE's therapeutic potential w.r.t. Suicide Tuesdays I still wouldn't touch it again. A week, potentially two, of emotional instability for the sake of four hours of pure bliss ain't worth it for me. And doing one drug to relieve the psychological strain of another one is just stupid (although in the case of MXE for opiate withdrawals, I wouldn't say the same, because MXE is acting as a pain reliever more than anything).
As you rightly recommended, I have turned to GHB and heroin instead.
But MDMA is MDMA. Irreplaceable. Sadly. Anyway, sorry about going OT.
