HYPOthyroidism and E

[Crystelephant]

I have HYPOTHYROIDISM, which means my my thyroid is UNDERACTIVE, I was wondering if it has any effect on how my roll will be? (less intense, more intense) or if its dangerous to do E because of my condition.
I do take medicine (synthroid) for it daily.
Ive rolled a good amount of times, but I was just curious to know.
any info is appreciated, thanks.

I'm in the exact same situation. I haven't rolled since i found out i had hypothyroidism and got put on synthroid. I take a very small daily dose, 35 micrograms i believe. I used to roll on a fairly regular basis but it's been a while. maybe 6 months now.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on this to contribute?

I personally do not know about this - you could have a read of this link.

You may understand some of the terms being used etc.

I have hypothyroidism, and I have not noticed an issue with MDMA and it- but I also have not done a ton of research on the issue, as to my knowledge, MDMA does not affect the thyroid.

Headline I did come across that link before I posted here. I was more interested to know about any interactions between the MDMA and the medicine I'm taking, synthroid, to help control it or even the generic version called levothyroxine. The last time I rolled I had been taking eca (ephedra, caffiene and asprin) stack to help with weight loss and due to the way that both increases your heart rate and elevates your body temp it wasn't a pleasant experience. I'm looking to avoid that again if it's a possibility to happen again.

Bsiren what is it you take to keep the hypothyroidism under control and have you rolled since you were put on it if you are taking anything?

I take 50 micrograms of synthroid each morning, and I take natural supplements to stimulate my thyroid (kelp and goat thyroid mainly).

I've noticed that taking goat thyroid makes me very clear headed, levels my energy, and has helped my sleep. If anything, I think that having your thyroid regulated so you're healthier would put you in a better position to enjoy MDMA. I rolled this weekend on bk-MDMA and even without piracetam (forgot it, but usually take it) it felt virtually identical to strong clean MDMA (likely due to quality of the chemical too).

In terms of safety and interactions, I am not aware of any, and it doesn't seem likely to be an issue. I'd check out some hypothyroidism pages and see if you can find any info.
