I found this study which says this;
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/11850153/
"In recent MDMA users, post-synaptic 5-HT(2A) receptor densities were significantly lower in all cortical areas studied, while 5-HT(2A) receptor densities were significantly higher in the occipital cortex of ex-MDMA users. The combined results of this study suggest a compensatory upregulation of post-synaptic 5-HT(2A) receptors in the occipital cortex of ex-MDMA users due to low synaptic 5-HT levels."
Am I correct in thinking this basically means it lowers Serotonin levels short term but increases them significantly long term (obviously very bad from a peat perspective)
