> Anyone on this site should know that drugs DO discriminate. Why is it that some people have the same symptoms as I and are able to achieve remission with, say, zoloft, yet I only get worse from zoloft. Why would MDMA be any different?

I don't want to get involved in this one except to say that just because a drug has a different effect on one's depression, it doesn't necessarily follow that its effect on the brain is different. I think it's more likely a reflection of unique "imbalances" than of different chemical effects. Whether or not that effect is *always* bad is another question altogether. It obviously isn't always good in the case of zoloft, so maybe it isn't always bad in the case of E. However, I am not aware of any evidence suggesting zoloft is neurotoxic in any way. Without solid evidence a lot of these questions become more ethical than anything else.
