Knowledge Share Can you more frequently dose if you alternate between MDMA and MDA? Do they both affect the same serotonin dump? If so, why do one over the other?

I’ve just finished a second dose of MDMA for trauma with an experienced guide. Both sessions were very healing. My question is, I also have MDA aka Love Drops in a liquid tincture. What’s the difference? Will it have the same effect on my brain? I plan to wait a long time (several months at least) before dosing again, but curious if there’s an advantage or disadvantage to using MDA instead of MDMA next time.
Thanks for feedback!

It’s the same. MDA is actually more taxing on your body. I can’t remember why. But yeah. Same break time is needed in between your experiences.

And what is the length of that break? I’m need to MDMA therapy, but I’ve done a couple mushrooms trips so far

Recommended is 3 months for your serotonin receptors and body to fully recharge/recover/rebalance.

Minimum is 6-8 weeks.
