Israel tests Ecstasy on war trauma victims

iirc they have also found a single nucleotide polymorphism on the SERT gene, where a having specific variant of the gene leads to extra long and severe depression after mdma.

i myself find the next day to be quite pleasant if i don't have anything to do and can relax.

more on topic i find it a good thing that mdma gets recognition as a therapy aid. hopefully it will become one of the usual options for ptsd in the next decades, one can only hope…
 
^^ Things really seem to be going well with the current projects, not to mention all the back history from the 70s/80s. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it available to psychiatrists with special licenses in the next 10 years or less.
 
While I think it's a great idea to use ecstasy legitimately like this, I think it would make sense to not have war in the first place than to try to repair soldiers' brains with drugs.

Maybe post-war trauma is necessary for peace?

Wow you are right, you better seek media exposure to let the world know that we are better off with peace. Grow up...
 
Very Intresting. I'm from Israel myself and my mom, who is a therapist, volunters at one of the local hospitals 3 times a week and does group therapy with PSTD patients. Ill have to ask her about this one when I get a chance.

As for getting a benzo for the come-down, Most of her patients are already on heavy benzo doses daily so I doubt that it is a conern for most of them.

Regarding post-war trauma being necessary for peace, I doubt thats the case. Infact, according to my mom, most PTSD patients strangely enough (or just unfourtantly) become much more pro-war then they were before. Now if only we could get post-war traumatized patients from the other side of the conflict and let them do the Ecstasy treatment together we might be able to bring some love back to them :).

Ok
Narcotic
–noun
1. any of a class of substances that blunt the senses, as opium, morphine, belladonna, and alcohol, that in large quantities produce euphoria, stupor, or coma, that when used constantly can cause habituation or addiction, and that are used in medicine to relieve pain, cause sedation, and induce sleep.

Narcotics induce stupors or sleep. MDMA is a stimulate.

MDMA will slowly be more recognized. sooner or later it will be made legal for PTSD and possibly more.
It's interesting how your mother works for the PTSD patients.


Very interesting article. I bet that it will be recognized worldwide quite soon
