Latest Trials Confirm the Benefits of MDMA – the Drug in Ecstasy – for Treating PTSD
Plus, the effects are long-lasting!
A recent analysis found that, on average, patients who received MDMA-assisted therapy experienced a 22 point reduction in PTSD scores, whereas daily antidepressants only reduced scores by 6 to 14 points.
One year after receiving the treatments, patients still reported benefits:
- 84% reported improved feelings of well-being
- 71% had fewer nightmares
- 69% had less anxiety
- 66% had improved sleep
Why is it so effective? MDMA reduces feelings of intense anxiety, allowing patients to open up and work through traumatic memories without fear.
