Mental Health MDMA and PTSD

Has anyone had experience with using specifically MDMA for PTSD? I have a close friend that I am planning to use MDMA with in an attempt to try and help her... Any advice or advice where to look?

My advice would be to not do this unless you are trained in psychology yourself. There's a huge difference between Taking MDMA in a therapy session and taking it with a friend at home, no matter what the intentions. Do you have a plan for the session? Do you have intimate knowledge of the persons mental history and past? Do you have specific information regarding how MDMA is used in therapy sessions? There are more things you need to consider and there are reasons psych's won't take appointments from friends.

When I was going to a psychotherapy, I thought a lot of times about taking a dose of MDMA and then going to my therapy. But would I tell my therapist before or after the session? I'm afraid that if i told her before, She said she wouldn't want to be part of it, and end the session, (Most likely because it's against the law). But I would suggest someone try that, but don't tell your psychotherapist till the end.

If you are considering it, talk to them way before you intend to do it. You're thinking in black and white here, I don't know exactly how it works, but if I were a psych and noticed a patient on drugs (or if they admitted it after the session), I'd not accept them back as a patient. It's not worth their license in the event that something happens. Discuss it with them and find out if they're open to the idea. If they're not they may be able to refer you to someone who is.
