Oh dear... that sounds ominous... and like it may be a little too close to home. I hope you and yours are ok.

Be wary even of low doses of stimulants ((meth)amphetamines, MDMA etc.), they can have long-term effects, including years-long heightening of sensitivity and dopamine response to those compounds.

This study has been criticized multiple times. I am not saying it is wrong, but the effect is exaggerated.

Dosing once in a while here and there has (according to current understanding) no bad effects. There are even results suggesting that long time use can also be "fine" (by looking at people who abused mdma in the late 80s early 90s, abuse being weekly).

Binges are a different story. Specially things like amphetamines. It boggles me how easily people get amphetamines prescribed nowadays...
