An actual doctor would say: "Dont do MDMA. Don't get off your anti-depressants."

This is akin to abstinence-only sex education. It just doesn't work.

I'd agree if there weren't safe ways to have sex.

Breaking a treatment regimen to use a drug that wreaks havoc on the specific neurotransmitter the antidepressant acts on doesn't work.

There is no way to reliably control the outcome of stopping treatment and taking street drugs.

No, it's like abstinence-only Russian roulette education.
