These "illicit" substances work. I can only speak for myself, but the amount depression that can be caused from anxiety is enormous, and then there's MDMA, which provides a reference point for life without it -- which in turn reduces the depression. Life changing, but it was also in a therapeutic setting with all the proper controls.
- josephpmay 8y agoIt's interesting. You and other commenters refer to MDMA as providing an experience of being anxiety free, but the few times SWIM's rolled, I've experienced part of the time with a high level of anxiety (in fact, the first time I got a panic attack was while rolling). They still were amazing experiences that made me feel great afterwards. *not in a therapeutic setting
- goatsi 8y agoDid the anxiety occur during the initial onset of the MDMA (aka the comeup)? The onset of MDMA creates strong physiological effects that can trigger anxiety. One way to mitigate this is to split the dose of MDMA into two equal parts, and taking them 10 minutes apart. This creates a more gradual onset that greatly reduces the feeling of anxiety for most users.

- sibeliuss 8y agoA) Studies have shown that if a person takes threshold amounts anxiety can happen. This applies to other psychedelic-like substances as well. One doesn't want to take too little, but also not too much! 80mg - 120mg is the sweet spot. B) Was is pure? Unless you're sure, it was likely cut with something.
