    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    I don't say this from a saintly perspective (impossible to, having been a part of house culture) but I would not use street MDMA directly to treat tinnitus. Serotonin is a tinnitus modulator. You will feel better whilst on it but afterwards when you have a drop it is likely that you will...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    I read an interesting article from Mixmag yesterday, something to think about if you do decide to try it. Difficult to know what you will actually get. http://mixmag.net/words/features/ecstasy-2015

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    That's interesting. Wonder if it will ever get off the ground with the current philosophy? It's already being done in a clinical setting in the US by these people http://www.maps.org

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    Excellent question, was just thinking along the same lines. Did you forget about it or did you actively notice a volume reduction? Also, are you a regular enough user so that the minimal effects are nothing to you but may be a lot more for somebody who has never had it? I wonder if the dose...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    Would you be able to link to some references? Am interested to see the notes on it. The thing with MDPEA is that it is non-psychoactive and non-scheduled, so it could be a gateway to something even if not useful in its current form. We would need to understand the long term effects but that...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    It sounds promising. I am talking to a couple of people about it at the moment, conversations have taken time though. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can update something about it soon.

    Hi Philip, that is the latest news, I only just posted it.

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    By way of update: I've spoken a couple of times to the lead chemist at the Shulgin Research Institute and he is intrigued by the possibilities of MDPEA. Haven't heard from him for a bit but Alexander Shulgin passed away recently so there will be a lot going on with them at the moment. Plus I...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    That's not an MDMA dose, it's MDPEA - a different chemical which isn't psychoactive.

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    No just for a time, but I don't know how long. If it was a real effect then I'm sure there are ways to prolong it. I'm talking to the chemist at the Shulgin Research Institute about it via e-mail at the minute, it could have just been coincidence but it will be great to find out more. I promise...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    I got a response back from asking Alexander Shulgin on a Facebook page. He's in poor health but they gave me the contact details for his assistant chemist. I've asked about MDMA and tinnitus and also MDPEA after @Balthazar posted the other link (Alexander Shulgin's tinnitus disappeared after a...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    As I mentioned above, 'street' ecstasy is very very rarely just MDMA, often it's MDA or something in that family, with all sorts of little surprises in it. If Alexander Shulgin himself presented it that would be a different matter, but the man on the street just sells what he has without regard...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    That's intriguing. If only he would join here so we could ask him about it. May be a complete longshot, but I sent a quick mail to the Facebook page his wife Ann has up. He's not in great health so they are fundraising for him, still the message may get through. I'll update if I get a reply.

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    The problem is that on the street you will virtually never get pure MDMA. It will be adulterated with any number of different things that can have different effects, so it's never going to be very reliable what is causing any particular effect.

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    Although thinking about it again, if it helps to reduce the emotional connection and helps us to stop treating T as a negative and unwanted sound, then it could accelerate CBT style treatments.

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    It has been used in a select few experiments for psychological conditions, but only a tiny few. Because of the way it makes you feel it let's you connect with emotions that you may not be able to express, which is why it's good for conditions where you are emotionally separated. It's a...
