Multiple small doses of MDMA

[Subuser]

SWIM is a 50 year old with some depression issues.
SWIM decided to take a half a pill each day for three days just to raise mood and get through the day.
He hydrates and uses Valium at the end of the day to come down.
Does anyone see any real harm if this is done for 4-5 days.

SWIM realizes the serotinin depletes but SWIM isn't interested in rolling, just a slight mood up and whereas many stories talk about 5 hits in one night.
SWIM hopes it would be safe.

Any thoughts?

Using an amphetamine - any amphetamine - as a "mood-booster" to deal with the day-to-day is a bad idea. It would be quite easy to fall into a trap of dependence. Not to mention a laundry-list of side-effects and medical problems.

MDMA should be left for using for occasional self-exploration and celebration. It's not prozac or paxill.

The old woman from \"Requiem for a Dream\" was in a similar scenario. It didn\'t quite work out for her.

SWIM may not have been clear in his intent.
This was intended as a 3-4 day use only.
SWIM recognizes the "trap of dependence" and was more interested in physical problems that may occur after 4 days of daily use.
SWIM understands the effects will dimish, but again, SWIM is not looking for the deep personal revelation, just a mild mood booster to get through a weekend where SWIM needs some motivation.
SWIM does enderstand the effects of MDMA, having taken it about 20 years prior.
Thanks for your concern, but if you have any health related things SWIM should be concerned about, kindly let SWIM know.

The scenario is neither accurate or relavant.
SWIM leads a full life and has no illusions about MDMA as a long term fix for anything.
This is a short term plan. SWIM does know limits and unlike Sara, SWIM would look a bit odd in a red dress.

Neither did she. Oh, yeah, I went there. Anyway back on topic (and maturity), I can\'t forsee any blatent dangers. I know people who have gone on proper 4+ day binges and survived, although were a little worse for wear afterwards (no one ever consider a full on X binge). There should be no danger, so I say bive it a 4 day test run, then leave it off for a while to see how your body coped. Sorry I can\'t provide any direct advice.

Just to close this up, the 3 days of 1/2 a pill at a time was effective in combating SWIM's anxiety but the effect at day 3 were virtually gone as the kind members pointed out.
SWIM thanks all for their concern and mockery and promises never to be caught dead in a red dress.
Cheers!
