Dopamine and MDMA

jackoozzi · specialist

I read the following at the site listed and wondered what the effects of MDMA would have with all this as i understand it MDMA effects dopamine

There are some mechanisms of aging, however, which can only be controlled by the use of therapies not yet approved by the FDA. One dangerous mechanism of aging is the chronic elevation of monoamine oxidase (MAO). Elevated MAO levels seriously damage brain cells, especially dopamine producing cells.

In each decade over age 45, we lose about 13% of our dopamine producing neurons. Once 80% of these neurons are dead, Parkinson's disease is diagnosed and there is currently no long-term therapy to reverse Parkinson's disease.

methedrine (or cocaine) affect dopamine reuptake/release, MDMA does so with serotonin reuptake (and cocaine also does this BTW).

So this finding pertains to ---- and also cocaine, not mdma. Still interesting...
