I took way to much mdma when I was in my twenties, it really messed up my short term memory and I'm pretty certain the affects on my memory are still there. At the time I think it started to mess with my confidence too. I had some great times on it and actually meet my future wife on it. Over all I wish I'd never tried it though. It was too good. Then after a while the nastier side of it outweighed the fun and we stopped doing it. I can definitely see how it could help couples talk through their difficulties and it seems to bond people closer together. As an aside I know a guy who completely fucked himself by doing mdma farvto much. It was really sad to meet him after a few years, he'd gone from happy outgoing to a paranoid mess.

Have you ever taken NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) supplement - try taking it daily for 2-4 weeks to see if that helps you recover; search NAC + MDMA to see anecdotal evidence, there's lots on Reddit. People can fuck themselves up on any substance if abused, that friend may be able to undo the damage done with MDMA via Ayahuasca ceremonies - perhaps via the neurogenesis that is seen with Ayahuasca use to recreate pathways that may have been lost due to excessive MDMA use. Not a doctor.

  Thanks for this. Does NAC help with memory?

It was really sad to meet him after a few years, he'd gone from happy outgoing to a paranoid mess. The public discourse on MDMA is in a strange place. Many people desperately want to believe that it doesn't have negative consequences, but anyone who has watched acquaintances go downhill with repeated MDMA use knows that it's hardly free of side effects. The problem is that internet commenters will quickly come up with any and every excuse to dismiss negative studies, anecdotes, and evidence. The usual strategy is to blame polydrug abuse or imply that the drugs were somehow impure.
