MDMA after Lexapro

I want to know how long I have to wait before taking MDMA after taking Lexapro for a month.

Long version:
I started taking Lexapro on 11/5, for the first time ever because I had some anxiety. Essentially I’ve been on Lexapro for 36 days.

I started with 20mg and tapered it down to 7.5mg ( last 3 days). I don’t see much difference between those doses and I don’t feel any anxiety at the moment nor any side effects.

My plan is to stop using it by 12/17 and hopefully be able to use MDMA on 12/30. So basically I would be 14 days without Lexapro.
Is this enough time between my last Lexapro dose so I can use MDMA ?

thanks in advance!
 
It is probably enough. It should clear out in less than a week. It is said that it can take even few weeks after that until the serotonergic system returns to baseline, but since you were not on stuff that long, it could be less.

I am not honestly experienced with psychiatric SSRIs, but since no one else is answering, I figured out I can just offer my best estimation.
 
Thanks for your response. Do you happen to know what would the risks be? If serotonergic system doesn’t return to baseline would MDMA make it a potentially a bad experience? Or would MDMA not work as well and I wouldn’t feel much?
 
I’m more worried about the risk so if it doesn’t work then I’d be ok with that.
I read that Lexapro stays in the body for 6.1 days. Maybe with longer use it stays longer.
 
Update for others who might be in similar situation:

The roll was not as strong and the comedown was non existent.
