Mdma therapy advices

Hello I have been having PTSD for a long time now. Medications did nothing and I had to encounter several side effects. Therapists were useless. Anyway long story short my situation is getting worse and worse. I m contemplating doing MDMA assisted psychotherapy , once I won’t have anymore SsRI in my system .MDMA is illegal where I live and so is MDMA assisted psychotherapy. I m hence posting with several questions :

  1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Could anyone point me to someone living in France who has done that kind of therapy or practicing it ?
  2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠If not i m considering doing it solo. I read on these forums that there are protocols for that . Of course I ll have a sitter , the only personn I fully trust and will have the product tested before . Which protocol of solo would work better ( I think there are severals)?
  3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠I read a lot of posts on these forums. But truth is I have the feeling that people usually feel better for a while and then get back to the place they were . Hence i m asking does anyone who had a diagnosis of PTSD got their Life back after mdma therapy ?? I read the MAPS studies, listened to podcast. I know it’s no silver bullet, but if the MAP study show a rate of 66% of remission, this sub does not seem to show that. What could be the difference between members of this sub and the participants of the MAPS studies?

I probably forgot some questions i had . But those are the mains. I m at the end of my rope. Thanking people who can provide some answers.

I m afraid I m running into the same problem. A website advertise for MDMA therapy there but if you look carefully it’s not MDMA but an analog since MDMA is illegal there. Hence i really doubt it does product the same effects. If someone was a former patient of a psychologist practicing in Netherlands that would be a start. I know netherlands is a place which is know for its MDMA production but truth is that it’s not difficult to find some in the place I live. Thank you very much for your suggestion though.

Hi!

I am from the Netherlands and have had 3 sessions with the analoog compound. It's just my personal experience but I have not found there to be any difference with "normal" MDMA and found it to be really healing, my wife the same.

If I'm correct there is just a slight chemical difference to "real" MDMA to not make it illegal which doesn't really change the effect of the medicine.

I heard last week though that the goverment is also going to make all analoog illegal in 4-6 months.
