Last 3 weekends I have been doing mdma, not too much, about 3 points....back in the day I was rolling every other weekend for almost a yr and I feel normal, well, my wife has fallin in love with it (scored a new source) and now she likes to go out every weekend and roll too, and I ain't gona lie, I like it again, but yea those comedowns are rough, how do you know when you have a problem with mdma?? I know after doing it I can't stand the thought of it for almost 3 days, I hate the comedowns, this is why I could never do it everyday, but really, is every weekend or every other weekend that bad for you????
mtvjackass, the more often you do MDMA, the worse the crashes will get and the less impressive the rolling will be. Don't ruin the MDMA experience - space it out! Also, don't forget that MDMA depletes your serotonin, so if you really overdo it for long, you can develop some emotional problems (such as being depressed for a while).
Soon the magic will be lost even at very large amounts and it will be similar to just taking an amphetamine without the mood boosting effects. Then you will probably meet a long lasting depression.
You are permanently changing the structure of your brain by taking it so often for so long. There are people on this board who will tell you things like "yeah well i rolled every day for a year and i feel great and i still do it!" but those are people who are already so far gone cognitively that they can't even recognize their own mental deficits creeping up on them. I believe Shulgin said ideally you do it a few times a year if that. At least space it out to once a month or something, every weekend is certainly a lot for something that is so heavy on your neural machinery.
There are some current scientfic studies challenging the supposed detrimetal neurological effects of Mdma that have been previously reported. Mdma use is often associated with late night clubbing/raving and most Mdma users use other drugs as well, so lack of sleep and poly drug use can lead to neurological impairments. However as others have mentioned, Mdma has a unique magic that once is lost cannot be regained for many so I think scaling back use to once a month or so would be healthier.
