Summary
The common "Blue Monday" crash after MDMA use might be a misconception in clinical contexts. Researchers investigated if a mood drop follows controlled administration. Individuals received either a precise dose or a placebo, with their emotional state carefully monitored. Importantly, no significant decrease in positive feelings or increase in negative ones was observed. This indicates that clinical use does not lead to the widely assumed post-experience dip.
