Triptherapie pioneered MDMA sessions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In the year 2018<\/strong> Triptherapie was founded primarily to facilitate truffle sessions. This came about after seven years of facilitating psychedelic trips without using a website. Triptherapie's goal has always been to make psychedelics a part of initiating a healthier state of being, both physically and mentally. Given that psilocybin from mushrooms and truffles was considered the least harmful psychedelic, we started with this approach. We began utilizing the power of LSD in the year 2020<\/strong> because we felt we had gained a lot of experience with the psychedelic state. Not much later in 2022 <\/strong>The demand for MDMA sessions increased. Clients we had previously helped with psilocybin even asked to undergo an MDMA session in the same way we had helped them with psilocybin.<\/p>\n

Initially, we could only help our clients if they purchased, tested, and took MDMA themselves. We helped quite a few people this way, but it wasn't ideal. We then began searching for chemically related substances that weren't illegal, but did contain the therapeutic effects of MDMA as closely as possible. This substance, which resembles MDMA but has a slightly different structure, is called an MDMA analog. The beauty of the MDMA analog we initially tested internally is that it works minimally differently from MDMA, making it even more suitable for therapeutic sessions. Various studies confirm this assumption, stating that the analog we use has a stronger anxiolytic\/anxiety-reducing effect, while providing less of an energy boost than MDMA. Partly due to these findings and developments, 2023<\/strong> Triptherapie was the first party to use this MDMA analogue for psychedelic sessions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

By explicitly listing the exact names of psychedelic substances in the Opium Act, authorities are empowered to take action against the possession, trade, and use of these substances. MDMA is listed in Schedule 1 of the Opium Act and is therefore illegal. Using analogs that are not (yet) listed in the law makes it legal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Furthermore, psychedelic therapy cannot be considered a medical treatment as long as the substances in question are not recognized as medicines. Psychedelic sessions are therefore non-medical, even if done with a trained therapist or a qualified coach. How this will develop after 2024 remains to be seen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Which MDMA analogue?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Well-known MDMA analogs include MDA (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) and MDEA (3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine). These substances are structurally similar to MDMA and also have entactogenic and stimulating effects. However, the effects can vary slightly between different analogs, and the dosage and duration of action can also differ. These substances are also often more toxic than MDMA and may carry more side effects and risks. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The best MDMA analogs are those that resemble MDMA as closely as possible and are equally or even less neurotoxic. It's primarily the variants listed below that yield the best results. Compared to MDMA, these analogs lack an oxygen atom and the molecule is given a different name (Benzofuran). <\/p>\n

As mentioned above, the MDMA analog we use is more anti-anxiety, according to scientific research, and its side effects and dangers are the same as those of MDMA itself. As an added benefit, less energy is released, and it's easier to turn inward (introspect).<\/p>\n

Dangers of MDMA and analogues<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The greatest danger of using prescription drugs, psychedelics, and therefore MDMA lies in their combined use and underlying medical conditions. Below is an overview of dangerous interactions for MDMA and most analogues:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u2013 When combined with antidepressants, MDMA and its analogues can cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition that can result in severe muscle cramps, fever and delirium.
\u2013 Mixing with alcohol may increase the toxicity of the drug, increasing the risk of dehydration and overheating.
\u2013 In combination with other stimulants, such as cocaine, may increase the risk of cardiovascular complications, such as palpitations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are more contraindications than those mentioned above. MDMA use is not recommended, among other things, when taking medications that interact with the CYP2D6 enzyme, medications listed in the interaction table, heart conditions, liver problems, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis sensitivity, and during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

More risk from an MDMA analogue<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Some MDMA analogs have been tested for effects, side effects, and effectiveness. Using just any analog could result in an unsafe variant. For example, some are known to increase the risk of brain hemorrhages or other additional negative side effects. Another disadvantage is that some analogs simply haven't been used or tested long-term, and we haven't yet mapped out the risks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The benefits of MDMA analogues<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Some MDMA analogs have a stronger anti-anxiety effect, others sometimes produce mild hallucinations at normal doses, and still others can be less harmful to health than MDMA itself. The trick now is to use scientific research, supplemented or initiated by anecdotal evidence, to find the best MDMA analog for therapeutic purposes. To give you a glimpse into the possibilities, we can easily say that this could easily be a mix of two or three analogs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We offer individual MDMA sessions, as well as sessions for couples who wish to work on their relationship. Another option is to participate in an MDMA ceremony, where you and four other participants are guided by a male and female guide. The MDMA ceremony can be considered a group session.
