MDMA just got closer to FDA approval.

An international study led by the University of BC found that out of 72 PSTD patients, 54 percent no longer met the criteria for PTSD after just two or three MDMA-assisted psychotherapy sessions.

MDMA-assisted patients underwent the eight-hour sessions on a monthly basis. Doses ranged from 75 to 125 milligrams of pharmaceutical-grade MDMA.

The researchers concluded that MDMA was both safe and surprisingly effective at helping patients. Recent studies have shown the drug rewires the parts of the brain associated with fear and anxiety. Altogether, the study consisted of six “randomized-double-blind, controlled clinical trials,” the gold-standard of clinical pharmaceutical research.

The study, published in Psychopharmacology, compiled data from 2004 to 2017, making this the longest study into MDMA’s medical efficacies. Participating clinics were based in the US, Canada, Israel, and Switzerland.

“Too many people with PTSD struggle to find effective treatment, and the use of MDMA in a supportive environment with trained mental-health professionals could be an important addition to our treatment options,” Zach Walsh, a psychology professor at the University of BC-Okanagan and co-author of the study, said in a statement.

The researchers noted the latest round of analyses signals the end of phase 2 clinical trials for MDMA and PTSD. “These studies supported expansion into phase 3 trials,” they wrote in the paper, and their findings will help them “determine the study design for phase 3 trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD,” the final investigative step before an experimental drug receives FDA approval.

MDMA, often sold as the club drugs “ecstasy” or “molly,” shows promise as one of the only effective pharmaceutical treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder. Currently, no medications for the disorder exist, although doctors often prescribe addictive drugs like opioids and benzodiazepines to help control some of its symptoms, which include depression, aggression, insomnia, paranoia, and social isolation.

According to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, 8 million Americans struggle with PTSD. One in 10 women and one in 25 men develop the disorder sometime during their lifetimes. Those with PTSD are at 5 to 13 times higher risk of suicide than those without PTSD.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

Psychology is the study of the nature of mind. Philosophy is the use of that mind in life. Both are critically important to gain an understanding of as they are aspects of the self. All you do and experience will pass through these gateways of being. The preceding information provides an overview of this self-knowledge, offering points to consider that people often don’t take the time to contemplate. With the choice to gain self-awareness, one can begin to see how their being works. With the wisdom of self-awareness, one has the tools to master their being and life in general, bringing order to chaos through navigating the challenges with the capacity for right action.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.
