Having been a long-time lurker I feel this is probably the best place to turn to in search of some guidance relating to MDMA use by the elderly and associated health risks. (Also; hello everyone!)
The subject in question is a woman in her early seventies who is in very good health, of average weight and regularly engages in healthy activity. She does not suffer from hypertension currently, despite having suffered from it in the past more than likely related to stress. At present the only medication she is on is a "bio-identical" hormone replacement therapy for menopause and thyroid medication (the specifics of which I am not aware of at present). So I'm interested in any possible interactions, suggested dosage, as well as any health issues I should be aware of associated with old age. She has no previous experience with MDMA or psychedelics of any kind and I feel the experience would be immensely beneficial for dealing with a variety of emotional issues.
Of course I'm mainly posting here in search of health related guidance but if anyone wants to chime in with their first or second hand cognitive experience that's cool too!

EDIT:
I've just discovered the subject has also been on a daily regime of 50mg metoprolol for a number of years to treat tachycardia, the cause of which is more than likely stress as no underlying physical condition had been discovered. Ambien is also taken for sleep on occasion. I assume this probably changes the picture considerably and unless I can find enough information to feel confident we will probably not proceed with any experimentation.
