MDMA ?

Before I opened this thread, I knew you would have commented this. Please shut up. You negative piece of shit.
This is something I have been looking in to as well for the past few years, haven't had the ball to try it out yet but it's something very promising especially in the right set and setting and preparations. It's very good for trauma which is for most of us the core foundation of our dpdr.
He is right though and he is saying something that might protect someone from worse symptoms. Perhaps MDMA is going to help someone too, but the risk of HPPD is definitely something people need to know before they make the decision of trying. He didn't say you will get it, he said you may get it and he is factually correct. But you are the one insulting him based on other posts you didn't like, and that doesn't sound like a very "positive" thing to do.
I also want to add that...
1. The evidence for MDMA working against PTSD may not be as clear cut as it's proponents claim it to be (The MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD Study. What You’ll Get Wrong - Medika Life, Surprises in the Authorship of a Paper About MDMA to Treat PTSD - Medika Life).
2. There is no evidence that MDMA works for depersonalization disorder...
3. ...but there are numerous reports of MDMA causing depersonalization disorder.
4. Current evidence suggests that trauma (in the sense of posttraumatic-stress disorder) accounts only for a small proportion of all cases of depersonalization disorder.
5. There is evidence for MDMA being toxic to brain tissue, particularly serotonin neurons, which might explain why it can cause HPPD.
It's negative, but true.
I know he is right, I know of the risks of MDMA.. Although the risk of getting HPPD are quite slim. It's more that he only has negative things to say, it's like he does not want people to get better. I think he enjoys it. Also I am quite sure this is TDX but then using another account, so I know how he operates. If your DP/DR stems from trauma, I believe MDMA can be a good way of adressing it.. people who have had this disorder for years on end and no improvements, what else have they got to lose...
I'm telling people often enough that there are treatments like Lamotrigine and Naltrexone, which work for some people. Isn't that a counter-example of something "positive" against your claim of me only saying "negative" things?
Do you think telling people "positive" things, which are not true and not leading anywhere, is helping people getting better?
I'm just as anhedonic as the majority of this forum. And most importantly, I'm not your enemy.
Do you also tell them the possible advers effects from Lamotrigine and Naltrexone that can occur? You are very pro medication, yet it hasn't helped you.
Medications have a leaflet that you can expect people to read, everyone's drug trials on this site are supervised by medical professionals and the side-effects of Lamotrigine and Naltrexone are only rarely serious and permanent (for MDMA all three points are the opposite). So there is no reason for me to foucs on the side-effects. But still on several occassions I also mentioned side-effects, for example when I talked about Buprenorphine and Naltrexone.
And why do I need to be against medication, when they did not work for me? Should I discard all scientific publications about it and credible reports of other people, who benefited from it, just because I wasn't lucky?
Some options.
1. Take steps to stop obsessing about emotional flatness.
2. Use alcohol or "street" drugs.
3. Use experimental pharmacological treatments with efficacy ranging from zero to uncertain.
4. Use experimental stimulation devices with efficacy ranging from zero to uncertain.
5. Treat comorbid disorders such as depression.
I guess anyone who's truly desperate will try all of these multiple times if possible.
