Debunking the myth of ‘Blue Mondays’: No evidence of affect drop after taking clinical MDMA
This open-label study (n=14) study assessed the decline in mood and cognition, also known as 'Blue Mondays,' that are believed to occur following MDMA use. The study assessed these side effects in participants being treated with MDMA (125mg followed by a 62.5mg dose 2hrs later) for alcohol use disorder (AUD). It was found participants maintained a positive mood during the week following the dosing session and suggests that the 'come downs' associated with MDMA may be associated with illicit sourcing of the substance and recreational use.
