How long have you been using it as a treatment? How often? Any negative side effects as of yet?
I tend to use it around once a week, at a strong, dissociative dosage. I've been doing this for a few months, now. So far, the only negative side effect is that I have, to a relatively minor extent, become psychologically dependent on weekly MXE use. It has become sort of a motivational leverage point -- meaning, I don't allow myself to use MXE on weekends unless I've worked hard during the week, so essentially MXE is the driving force behind my efforts and labors in general. The cheese at the end of the rat maze, so to speak.
But, in any case, it works fantastically for my anxiety. Now that MXE is a part of my life, I am much less inhibited by my anxieties and paranoias, in activities like driving, and communicating with other people face-to-face.
I often think that it would be more healthy for me to use MXE bi-weekly, for the sake of my anxiety, but I tend to use it less often because I am attracted to the magic of the dissociative high itself, which becomes dull and predictable if I use it too frequently. I suppose I should be grateful that MXE usage seems to be self-tempering, that way.
There are many negative side effects that we can't even predict yet with such new chemicals, so to recommend them to anyone with anxiety is irresponsible.
This is characteristic of an attitude that avoids risks at all costs. But sometimes, to make a profit, you have to roll the dice. Yes, experimenting with an RC as a treatment for anxiety disorder is risky. But I don't think that means we should ignore RCs, and refuse to explore the possibilities that they offer us.
edit - oh and the key word is 'encouragement'. Only the weak minded would take Dissociatives because they were encouraged to do so.
Well, yes. Ultimately I don't think that MXE should be forced on anyone with an anxiety disorder, obviously. What I mean to say, when I "encourage" MXE experimentation, is simply that MXE had a positive effect on me, and it could for others to.
