Hypothyroidism and MDMA?

[FractalMe]

I was wondering if my friends thyroid issues would get in the way of him doing emphathogenic drugs. He is overweight but takes medications for his hypothyroidism so he has his symptoms pretty much under control. I have used it quite a few times and so have the 2 other people he will be with (close knit group lol) we have our stuff tested so we know it is mdma, just want to make sure my friend is safe to ingest it. Also, he has taken LSD just fine if that is any good sign.

My main concern is him overheating. We will be in a home setting and will be on couches the whole time, the issue is that it is verrry hot due to summertime weather and I don't know if that may be a negative factor. I will make sure he stays hydrated slowly and consistently (sipping on water) but like I said, if his condition is a big no no we will call it off. Safety first! %)

Have a read of this . May give you a few pointers - no need to consistently drink water, if your not losing fluids by dancing about etc then drink normally. Few mouthfuls every now and then is sufficient to stay hydrated in a normal house setting - yes if its super hot and your sweating drink a bit more.

So he should be fine? From what people are saying, many people have rolled many times with the disorder. Just want to make sure his first time was as good as mine without a scary trip to the ER.

a quote from the thread bearlove linked:

Of course if you do suffer from hyperthyroidism, you should not take any amphetamines or sympathmimetic amines anyway. The condition causes increased sensitivity and response to catcholamines, so any drug which stimulates them could also increase effects like palpitations, shortness of breath etc. Alcohol, caffeine and nictotine should be also avoided.

Norepinephrine and dopamine are catcholamines and are increased when taking MDMA. This means that he is likely to experience a more speedy roll with more physical side-effects than you guys. This could mean compared to you he will have a higher heart-rate, stronger jaw grinding, more muscle spasms,... This does not mean it is dangerous or even that it is going to be noticeable at lower doses but if he should ingest a high dose it could very well be noticeable and perhaps dangerous even

I don't think you will run into any issues if you dose low enough, but better safe than sorry. I would try a lower dose than you would give a 'normal' person, just to see if he has any adverse reactions. I say this because while real adverse reactions with MDMA and hyperthyroidism are unlikely, they are possible. Good thing you tested your stuff, keep on doing that every single time. At least adulterants or other toxic cuts are not an issue this way

I appreciate the speedy response guys, this is a great community! We are gonna give him .1 and let him wait 45 mins to 1 hour and if he feels okay he will take another .1, that way if he is uncomfortable he doesn't have to deal with it much/at all. Also in a weird twist I think I may have thyroid issues (runs in my family) and I sweat like a pig on mdma. One time .3 had me with soaked pillows and shower hair while I rolled about moaning (in a good way) lol. mind you dehydration from a ton of hookah and dabs during the roll could attribute to that as well.

FractalMe, do you sweat more than the average person while sober? I ask this because I too am completely soaking wet every time I roll, not just sweat dripping off my body, it's a stream of sweat, a waterfall even. People always think I'm OD'ing. However I do sweat more than the average guy when sober too
