and i quote,

"Your serotonin network exists primarily for digestion. 95% of your serotonin is in the intestines!"

in the long run, since your serotonin levels are depleted, the food wont be able to digest fast enough due to low serotonin levels.

AGREE OR DISAGREE?
 
Where did that quote come from? Just curious.

From what I understand: serotonin is not responsible for digestion... But rather: digestion (and food in your belly in general) will release serotonin (thus the feeling of satisfaction after eating).

Infact: I know some folk that abuse MDMA and have lost a fair bit of weight from it (due to its stimulant properties).

some of the theads on this section of bluelight are hilarious

seriously where do people get there weird questions from
 
DISAGREE. Its completely different. In this case serotonin is responsible for hunger,mod. Id say you loose weight,not gain it.
 
Disagree. If anything you would prob lose weight, especially from not eating and dancing, if you like to dance.
I feel like i lose a pound or two everytime i roll lol

dick size much? thats like saying i smoked more crack that most crackheads. its not something to be proud of moron. to the OP, most people who abuse mdma lose weight.
 
^ Maybe just trying to make a point.

If the guy wanted to dicksize he'd have put something a lot more impressive.

And pretty sure, being up all night dancing is a great way to lose weight.
 
His quote comes from a post of mine.

I did say that 95% of your serotonin is in your intestines.
It is.

I also said that its primary function is digestion.
It is. (intestinal motility would be more accurate)

I said nothing about gaining weight as a result.
In fact, I agree that many MDMA abusers LOSE weight.

I can attest to this personally.

Yeah this is what I would go with.
I think I've lost more weight since I starting using mdma.
 
For me MDMA did contribute to weight gain. There at the end when I was using high doses I would consistently gain weight in the month or two following each session. Over the course of 1 year I put on about 17 pounds (7.7kg). I think it was because at that point my come downs would last a month or more. For some reason, MDMA really affected both my self-control and motivation for a long time, so it was more that I just felt sluggish and in a fog and didn't have energy to be active or the self-control over my diet. Thankfully, I'm just a few days away from my 6 month anniversary break from 10 years of regular MDMA use, and in that time I've lost 19 pounds (8.6 kg). Onwards and upwards! :)

You are saying that your MDMA use led you to being sluggish and not be active. This isn't saying that MDMA itself was why you gained weight (the way the OP stated it).
 
Mdma use I lose weight, on the comedown food is not that pleasant to eat but I do tends to catch up with the meals I missed a few days later. Also you tend to have the shits after doing mdma the next day. I am English and "the shit" men's diarrhea.
 
Once your serotonin levels are depelted?
Mdma floods the brain with serotonin, what happens is the receptors that the serotonin binds too downregulate (turn off) and dont process serotonin anymore.
Serotonin levels go back to normal rather quickly i beleve, but the receptors take a few weeks to start upregulating and take a few months to upregulate to nomal levels.
Wich is why spacing your rolls is so important.
 
You will definitely lose weight on mdxx dew to Nor epinephrine release in the brain spiking the release of cortisol in the blood witch will break down muscle for glucose, there is in no way an anabolic effect from md

hmm i can see where ur coming from but-

cortisol causes an increase in appetite and encourages fat storage, so i guess you'd end up losing muscle & gaining fat. which is still weight loss (because muscle weighs more than fat)

maybe OP meant increase in body fat?

quite the total opposite really.. Forget the serotonin hypothesis. Ecstasy fucks up your hpa axis and drains your adrenals of cortisol. In a rave setting your body increases cortisol production 800%. That's insane, but necessary from the ecstasy, lack of hydration, and on top of that the all night dancing. which is why cortisol rises is to buffer negative effects of stress.

And when your adrenals aren't working properly you tend to be on the skinny side. It has something to do with.. all your body's energy (so all the food you're eating and fat you have) goes towards making more cortisol to block stress. I'm not sure if that is the exact way it makes you lose weight, think I just read that somewhere. But adrenal insufficiency is definitely contributes to weight loss.

Like it's interesting because excess cortisol causes weight gain. But when your cortisol levels become abnormally low you start to lose weight... and even when you stuff your face full of food, you don't gain anything.
