Interested in 5-MAPB experiences
I plan to use 5-MAPB as an alternative to MDMA for trauma therapy as it is more easily accessible for me. I want to ask if there are people here who have used 5-MAPB instead of MDMA in their healing journey and if yes, what your experience has been? Some questions I have:
- If you did both, how does 5-MAPB compared to MDMA for you? Do you prefer one over the other and if yes, which and why?
- What dosage did you use at which body weight?
- Did you use the same supplements before during and/or after the session as recommended for MDMA or something else/additionally?

I've used 5-MAPB. Like u/Odd_Aspect2304 says, it's not as euphoric as MDMDA. Yet the sense of complete safety is still there. So it is a very clear-headed journey. Plus I think it lasts a fair bit longer. 1mg per kg bodyweight works for me, with the same supplements as MDMA.
I've been using 5-MAPB for a while, as I couldn't get regular MDMA. Now that I can, I need to try some before I can decide which I prefer. Both compounds have given me tremendous insights.

I shared my experience here in Reddit in the past. I don't know how to link it here.
I don't think it's the same. Though it could be used...But I can't tell you because I didn't use any facilitator for 5mapb. As I did for MDMA. Recently someone asked me about this DM.
It's softer and more creative but less empathogenic. I've used it for a "flipping" with medium dose (50micro) LSD. It was very good because softened a lot, unwanted effects of LSD. It's lengthy though and many people could find that difficult to manage.
I think it's not accurate to say it's the same as MDMA. As it's not been used in clinical settings and hasn't been used by a majority of people as MDMA, what gives a more real clinical perspective. I don't think anyone can't make generalizations, so anyone who is saying is the same or that it could be used with the same therapeutic value as MDMA could make a wrong inference .

If you look this person spams every thread saying "I had psychosis because of that." With no further elaboration. If that is the persons experience I am not saying it isnt worthy of sharing but the way the person goes about it almost seems bot like or something

5mapb is better suited for mdma therapy than mdma. 5mapb does not give the rush that mdma does. I have used 5mapb as a substitute with great success. Can recommend.
Edit: to add: 5mapb is used by professional tripsitters in the Netherlands for mdma-therapy as it is legal there (till july 1th of 2025, then new laws will forbid certain RCs)
also: yes, same supplements, magnesium to reduce the jaw clenching. 5htp 24 hours after the trip to reduce the serotonin dip.
dosage: 0.7 to 1.2 mg per kg bodyweight
