On a similar note, has anyone here had success getting therapeutic effect from MDMA?

  There's the MAPS MDMA study. I'm also personally familiar with several (> 10) people who used MDMA to treat depression (other than PTSD), both independent of conventional psychotherapy and in a few cases in conjunction with it (by telling the doctor after independently dosing; since he's an MD he has a duty to care for the patient even if he's "on an illegal drug" at the time, but isn't at personal legal risk). I would consider the long-term risks of 1-5 doses of MDMA over a year FAR lower than the side effects of prescribed antidepressants or other psychiatric medications on an ongoing or permanent basis. (I'm not a doctor, though. Just going based on observation of a not statistically significant number in both groups.)

    Interesting. What are your thoughts on how to make sure what you're getting is actually MDMA and not rat poison or something? Or is this concern just baseless media hysteria?

      You can buy a testing kit online.
