Time between MDMA usage.

[Sky Motion]

What's a good time to wait between using MDMA on separate occasions?

 

[spiritual7pioneer]

I personally only use MDMA on occasion.
I myself would recommend no more than once every two months..but thats just me.

 

[Sky Motion]

I'm not addicted, but with access to such pure and clean MDMA, I find it hard to resist using. I usually go every 3 weeks or month.

 

[spiritual7pioneer]

I understand, as I have access to similar MDMA, but things of that matter should be practiced in moderation.
If you are going to consume that much, I would highly suggest you pick yourself of some 5-htp and take that regularly.
Peace and love.

I have a bottle of 5-htp, absolutely saves me from the post depression, I take one right after and it's gone within the hour. Love the stuff, I do not take it on a regular basis however, just like twice a week to keep my serotonin up.

cant really comment on the time between usage, previously i went for about a month though this didnt always happen.. and now i dont partake anymore

in regards to the 5htp, a friend (no it was not me) asked his dr about taking daily supplements. To which the dr replied something the along the lines of

'don't as it will cause your body to decrease "normal" production of seretonin in anticipation of the 5htp supplement. and when you stop taking it your body will be producing less than you would have if you would not have taken daily supplements.'

(now this isnt exactly what my friend told me the dr said but it was something similar)

can anyone comment on this in anyway (sorry didnt mean to hijack, just though it might be applicable)

I have been taking 50 mg before bed every night and it has helped with appetite suppression as well as lucid dreaming. From the research I have done I've come to the conclusion that daily supplementation of 5-htp is safe. But look into it for yourself.

That's something you should go with what you feel. Personally I wouldn't recommend doing more than 4-6 tablets in a 3 months span.. I don't touch that stuff tho anymore so like I said I would just go with what you feel

 

[Purges]

Depends how long you have been taking it for. In my 'honeymoon' I could take it a few times a month with no real issue. If I did that now I would be suicidal :lol: After a couple of years I found I couldn't take it any more than once a month max, with a break of a month or two here and there, but now days, fuggedabowdid! Maybe 1-2 times a year.

 

[Sky Motion]

Thanks guys, yeah I definitely "feel" that waiting a month is best for me,

I've been taking it for about a year, Purges.

 

[Purges]

Once a month with a month off here and there sounds ideal then- of course you can bend the rules every now and then :twisted: but that's a good guide IME

I used to take it once a year, no more..for a few years. I felt like that handful of experiences was enough for me to get what there was for me to get from MDMA..I know people who did take it much much more often and it seemed to really have negative effects on them after some time..

I would make sure you have alot of tryptophan rich foods in your diet if you are taking MDMA monthly.

 

[Sky Motion]

Thank you Jaime, could you tell me what kinds of foods are tryptophan rich? I've only ever heard this term here on the nexus or in research of Ayahuasca.

I also only use it on occasion. Usually the time between sessions is more like 4-5 months for me.. for no particular reason, other than not feeling like it. So far, I've always received enough material from a session to keep me busy and not wanting any further usage (what would be the point?) for some months.

This is just opinion, I guess that you "should" wait as much time between sessions as you see fit.

Most of the information I've read about MDMA and abstinence periods seem to suggest at least 6 weeks and preferably 3 to 4 months.

There are studies that show permanent changes in the serotonin production cells in the brain in mammals. There is slightly evidence that this occurs in humans as well, but measuring those damages is a lot more difficult if you can't dissect your subject's brain like they do with rats or other mammals. Rats that have been exposed to high doses of MDMA or repetitive doses in short periods shown swollen and deformed axons. However, there is also strong evidence that these deformations repair over time, but it's inconclusive whether or not they have the same number of neural connections as before the exposure. Source.

I usually try to keep at least 6 weeks between dosing MDMA and prefer 2 to 3 months between doses. In the week after I take 5-htp daily and sometimes I take 5-htp 2 to 3 days before taking MDMA so the high is more intense with a lower dose.

Monthly seems to suit me. Of course, longer is safer, every 4/5 weeks is manageable here.
