3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has shown efficacy as a medication adjunct for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, MDMA is also used in non-medical contexts that pose risk for cardiovascular and neurological complications. It is well established that MDMA exerts its effects by stimulating transporter-mediated release of the monoamines, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine, and dopamine.
